yona 3:1-10

Maze ijambo ry’Uwiteka rigera kuri Yona ubwa kabiri riramubwira riti

“Haguruka ujye i Nineve wa murwa munini, uwuburire imiburo nzakubwira.”

Nuko Yona arahaguruka ajya i Nineve nk’uko Uwiteka yamutegetse. Kandi Nineve wari umurwa munini cyane, kuwuzenguka rwari urugendo rw’iminsi itatu.

Yona atangira kujya mu mudugudu, agenda urugendo rw’umunsi umwe ararangurura ati “Hasigaye iminsi mirongo ine Nineve hakarimbuka.”

Maze ab’i Nineve bemera Imana, bamamaza itegeko ryo kwiyiriza ubusa, bose bakambara ibigunira uhereye ku mukuru ukageza ku uworoheje hanyuma y’abandi.

Ijambo rigera ku mwami w’i Nineve ahaguruka ku ntebe ye y’ubwami, yiyambura umwambaro we yambara ibigunira, yicara mu ivu.

Ategekana itegeko n’abatware be b’intebe baryamamaza i Nineve bati “Umuntu wese ye kugira icyo asogongeraho, kandi amatungo y’amashyo n’imikumbi bye kurisha kandi bye kunywa amazi,

ahubwo abantu n’amatungo byose byambare ibigunira, abantu batakambire Imana bakomeje, kandi bahindukire umuntu wese areke inzira ye mbi, bareke n’urugomo bagira.

Nta wubizi ahari aho Imana yahindukira ikigarura, ikareka uburakari bw’inkazi yari ifite ntiturimbuke!”

Imana ibonye imirimo yabo, uko bahindukiye bakareka inzira yabo mbi irigarura, ireka ibyago yari yabageneye ntiyabibateza.
