Akaryo ka kabiri
Ijambo rya Data wacu riza ubugira kabiri, Yona aragenda, agenda umusi wose mu Ninewe, atangaza ko hasigaye imisi mirongo ine ngo gihindurwe. Igisagara cose kiremera, umwami ava ku ntebe yiwe y'ubwami yambara igunira yicara mu ivu, maze Imana ibabonye bahindutse, ntiyabatikiza.
3 1Nuko ijambo rya Data wa twese risubira kuza kuri Yona ubwa kabiri, riti:
2“Haguruka, uje i Ninewe, ca gisagara gikomeye, maze uvuge ubutumwa ndaguha.”
3Nuko Yona arahaguruka aja i Ninewe, nk’uko Data wa twese yari yavuze. Ninewe yari igisagara kinini cane, c’ingendo y’imisi itatu uciyemwo. 4Yona agenda urugendo rw’umusi umwe yinjira mu gisagara, maze asemerera ati: “Hasigaye imisi mirongo ine gusa Ninewe igahirikwa!” a a v4 “Guhirikwa” gifise insobanuro zibiri zigenewe — gishobora gusigura guhonywa canke guhindukira, akarusho ibisigaye vy’iki gice bishitsa.
5Abantu b’i Ninewe baremera Imana. Batangaza ko bazosiba ukurya, baribambika amasaka, uhereye ku mukuru gushika ku muto.
6Inkuru imaze gushika ku mwami w’i Ninewe, ava ku ntebe yiwe y’ubwami, yiyambura igishura ciwe, yiyambika amasaka, maze yicara mu minyota. 7Atangaza mu Ninewe, kw’itegeko ry’umwami n’ibikomangoma vyiwe, ati: Nta muntu canke igitungwa, umukuku canke umukumbi, azohonja ikintu na kimwe; ntibazorishe canke banywe amazi. 8Abantu n’ibitungwa nibiyambike amasaka, kandi umwe wese atakambire Imana n’inguvu ziwe zose. Umwe wese nahindukire ave mu nzira yiwe mbi no mu bukazi buri mu minwe yiwe. 9Ni nde azi? Imana ishobora guhindukira igahindura ingingo yayo, igahindukira ikava mu bukari bwayo bukaze, kugira ngo tutahone.
10Imana ibonye ibikorwa vyabo—ko bahindutse bava mu nzira yabo mbi—Imana ihindura ingingo yayo ku vyerekeye ya marorerwa yari yarateye ko izobazanira, maze ntiyabigira.
