1 Lentswe la Jehova la tlela Jonase la bobedi, la re:
2 Tloha, o ye Ninive, motseng o moholo, mme teng o tumise ditaba tseo ke o bolellang tsona.
3 Yaba Jonase o tloha, a ya Ninive, ka taelo ya Jehova. Ninive e ne e le motse o moholo pela Modimo, o tsamauwang matsatsi a mararo.
4 Jonase a qala ho kena motseng, a etsa leeto la letsatsi le le leng, a ntse a howa, a re: Kamora matsatsi a mashome a mane, Ninive o tla timetswa.
5 Yaba batho ba Ninive ba dumela Modimo, ba bea letsatsi la ho itima dijo, ba apara bohle masela a mahwashe, ho qala ka e moholo wa bona ho isa ho e monyenyane.
