¹ Tchiwoneso nekudha kwe Ninive. Buku retchiwoneso tcha Naumo muerkozita. ² Ishe ndi Mwari we ngoni uye unophanisha; Ishe ndimuphanishi uye uneshungu; Ishe unopetudzira kune awengi ake, une unoiga shungu kune awengi ake. ³ Ishe unononoka kunyangadzwa, asi wakakura pa simba; uye azopasi mbhoswa kune asina mbhoswa. Ishe unohamba pakati pemawimbi uye ne dhutu, uye makuta ndibhukuta re tsoka dzake. ⁴ Iyena unotongera kune bhahari, uye unoriita kuti riwome; uye unowomesa mirambo dzese. Bhasaa ne Karmero anowoma, uye maruwa anounyana. ⁵ Makomo anotetemera pamberi Pake, uye madhunhu anonyunguruka; uye nyika inotekenyeka pamberi pake, ne nyika yese uye ne agari emo ese. ⁶ Ndiani ungakwanisa kushingirira pamberi pe kunyangadzwa kwake? Uye ndiani ungakwanisa kushingirira pamberi pekubhaka kwe shungu dzake? Kunyangadzwa kwake kunodhururika se moto, uye makomo anopwanyika pamberi pake. ⁷ Ishe wakanaka, nditchivikiro patsiku yekushopeka; Iyena unoazia anowimba naye. ⁸ Asi ne kumedzwa ne nvura inosimba Iyena utchaparadza Ninive, uye utchatera awengi ake dzamara murima. ⁹ Ngazwipi zwamuri kudha kuita kuna Ishe, iyena utchaparadza; dhambudziko arizowiyi kairi. ¹⁰ Kunyangwe makabhatana se mindzwa, uye makararadza se zwidakwa, iwona atchaparadzwa se mauswa akawoma. ¹¹ Kwauri kabhuda umwe urikudha kuita zwakashata kuna Ishe, umwe nyambhangiro wakashata. ¹² Ishe unoti: kunyangwe mubhudhirire, uye muwe makawanda, kunyangwe zwakadharo iwona atchaparadzwa, uye atchadharika.

Pembera mabhiko ako, Judaa; dzadzisa zwipikwa zwako, nekuti awengi azopindizwe ne pamberi pako; iwona aparadzwa patchose.
