1 Awo oMusengwa tete nʼatumula nʼoYona omulundi ogwokubiri ati, 2 “Oyabe e Nineeve, ekibuga ekinene ekyo era okiraabbire obukwenda bunu obunkuwa, obukirabula.”
3 Oku mulundi ogwo oYona nʼasetuka nʼayaba e Nineeve ngʼoMusengwa oweyamukobere. Atyanu ekibuga ekyo, kyabbaire kigalami ino era nga kitwala enaku isatu nambirira okutambula okukimalaku. 4 OYona oweyatuukire omu Nineeve, olunaku olwasookere yatambwire omu kibuga nga waalaabba eeri abatyami baamu ati, “Wasigaire enaku 40 gyonkani oKibbumba ajigirice ekibuga kinu nʼabantu baamu.” 5 Abantu bʼe Nineeve owebawuliire obukwenda obwo, ni baikirirya oKibbumba. Kale ni balangirira okusiiba era bonabona okuzwera oku wʼekitiisya paka oku muyejere ni beesiba ebibenga okulaga bati beenenyere.
6 Awo amawuliro ago owegatuukire oku kabaka wʼe Nineeve nʼasetuka oku ntebeye eyʼobwakabaka, nʼatoolamu amaganduulage agʼobwakabaka era ni yeesiba ebibenga era nʼatyama ansi omwikoke okulaga ati yeenenyere. 7 Awo nʼawuluca ekiragiro eeri abantu bʼe Nineeve ati,
“Kinu kiragiro okuzwa eeri okabaka nʼabakungube.”
“Mpaawo muntu ali nʼokulyaku akantu konakona; abantu bonabona waire byayo, nga niibyo ente, nʼentaama nʼembuli mpaawo kulya ooba kunywa. 8 Abantu bonabona bali nʼokwesiba ebibenga nʼebyayo byona bali nʼokubisiba ebibenga okulaga okwenenya. Nabuli moiza ali nʼokukungirira oKibbumba okumusoniya era akomye emizeegye emibbimibbi nʼebikolebye ebyobukambwe. 9 Amo oKibbumba nʼacuusa ekiseegokye; amo nʼaikaikana ekiruyi nandi nʼatujigirica!”
