UYona Enzonzobileni
Esiswini sentlanzi uYona uthandaza njengomntu osele etshonile emanzini, umdiza usongwe entloko, iingcango zomhlaba zivaliwe emva kwakhe, ebulela uBawo wethu ngokunyusa ubomi bakhe emhadini. Ufunga ukuhlawula oko wakuthembisayo, yaza intlanzi yamhlanzela emhlabeni owomileyo.
2 1Waza uYona wathandaza kuBawo wethu esiswini sentlanzi, wathi: 2Ekubandezelekeni kwam ndanqula uBawo, waza wandiphendula; esiswini selabafileyo ndazibika, waza weva ilizwi lam. 3Wandiphosa enzonzobileni, esazulwini seelwandle, zaza iziqhuqho zandijikela; onke amaza akho namagqabi akho andigubungela. 4Ndaza ndathi: “Ndigxothiwe ebusweni bakho; kodwa ndoza ndibheke kwakhona etempileni yakho engcwele.” 5Amanzi andigubungela, kwada kwasekufeni; enzonzobileni yandirhawula; umdiza wasongelwe entlokweni yam. 6Ndehla ndaya ezingcanjini zeentaba; umhlaba wazivala iingcango zawo emva kwam ngonaphakade. Kodwa wena wabunyusa ubomi bam emhadini, Bawo. 7Xa ubomi bam baphela, ndamkhumbula uBawo, waza umthandazo wam wenyuka kuwe, etempileni yakho engcwele. 8Abo banamathele kwizithixo ezililize balushiya uthando olunokuba lolwabo. 9Kodwa mna ndoza ndibingelele kuwe ngendumiso yombulelo; ndozigcina zonke izibhambathiso endizenzileyo. Usindiso lolukaBawo wethu!
10Waza uBawo wethu wathetha nentlanzi, yaza yamhlanza uYona, yamphosela emhlabeni owomileyo.
