Jonah 2
1 UJona wakhuleka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe esezibilinini zenhlanzi,
2 wathi: “Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngakhala kuJehova, wangiphendula; ngisesiswini sendawo yabafileyo ngamemeza, wezwa izwi lami.
3 Wangiphonsa ekujuleni, enhliziyweni yolwandle, umfula wangihaqa; onke amadlambi akho namaza akho adlula phezu kwami.
4 Ngathi mina: ‘Ngixoshiwe emehlweni akho;’ nokho ngiyakubuye ngibheke ithempeli lakho elingcwele.
5 Amanzi angihaqa kwaze kwaba nasekuphileni kwami, utwa lwangikaka. Umhlanga wathandela ekhanda lami.
6 Ngehla ngasemikhawulweni yezintaba; imigoqo yomhlaba yayisemva kwami kuze kube phakade. Kepha wakhuphula ukuphila kwami egodini, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami.
7 “Lapho umphefumulo wami waphela amandla phakathi kwami, ngamkhumbula uJehova; umkhuleko wami wangena kuwe ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
8 “Abagcina okungumoya nokuyize nje bashiya Othembekile kubo.
9 Kepha mina ngiyakukuhlabela ngezwi lokudumisa, ngigcwalise engikuthembisileyo. Ukusindiswa kukuye uJehova.”
10 UJehova wakhuluma kuyo inhlanzi, yamhlanzela uJona emhlabathini owomileyo.
