¹Siikhu moote Nnyizinku anrumiye Yuunusa mwaana wa Amitaayi yoori: ²“Olankhe olawe sitati khuulu ya Neniive, walaleye ottuukho, yoori miiyo kinjuwa zooshi zootakhala zaya anrettaazo.”

³Ila Yuunusa asiiliyeevo toole, khuwaza otthirela tuniya yoolepelana Neniive, antthiraka Nnyizinku. Khulawa mpakha sitati ya Yoope khusikana pankaya vapatari, yaari weettaaye Taarisi. Khuripha pasaji yawe, khweetta mpankaya yoori atthirele Taarisi, antthiraka Nnyizinku.

⁴Aphano, alawaka, Nnyizinku khuperekha pheevo zawaatta na pahari khutakhala khusala esaleela opwecheya pankaya. ⁵Amalinyero ooshi khwiiya awoova, wakhula mmote wa yo khusala akhuwa anvekelaka nluku awe, yoori apatthe wuusurukha, na khusala atupweeza mapwattha aya mpahari, yoori eveyaveye pankaya yaya.

⁶Nahota khwiishukhela mpurawu mphule aari olalaamo Yuunusa, khumuuzela yoori: “Weeyo! Onlala ni? Olankhe onvekele nluku awo! Khinjuweya anoonelaka huruma yoori anuusuru nihifwe.”

⁷Paata ya toole, amalinyero khusiilana yoori: “Nlaweni neekese nasipu, ninjuwe nlupa otu anitotheliye hasara eti!” Yo khweekesa nasipu etile, khusala emoona Yuunusa.

⁸Khuuzeliwa Yuunusa: “Weeyo onlupa onitotheliyeeyo hasara eti. Nkanuuze! Weeyo onkhola khaazi ni? Wala onlankha vayi? Nti awo nti ni? Ama lihimo lawo lihimo ni?”

⁹Ye khujipu araka: “Miiyo ki mwiipereewu, kinimwaaputu Nnyizinku, Nluku wa pinkuuni, otu ompiye nti na pahari.”

¹⁰Elottelanaka Yuunusa khuwooza yoori aari ontthira Nnyizinku. Wakathi ajuwiyeevo etthu yaari onrettikhanelaaye, yo khwiiya ootepa woova, na khumuuzela Yuunusa: “Apho niini orettiyeeyo!”

¹¹Pheevo zeetta otepa zaattaka, khufiyelela amalinyero omuuzela Yuunusa araka: “Fweeyo nuurettele niini, yoori Pheevo na pahari eshapweye?”

¹²Yuunusa khujipu araka: “Miiyo kajuwa yoori pheevo epi zapuwelela mwaasa wa miiyo. Apho, mwikitthempe mwikeeselele mpahari. Mwirettaru toowo, mwintta woona pahari na pheevo zinyamaliye.”

¹³Ila amalinyero apale khuhintupweezi, khwaaza ofuttha kaafi na kuvu zaya zooshi yoori afiye vathi. Khuhisala ewaheya, mwaasa wa pahari yeetta ovira etepaka otakhala. ¹⁴Yo khukhuwa ankhuwelaka Nnyizinku araka: “Oo, Nnyizinku, ohinilikhelele nifwaka mwaasa wa pinaatamu otu, na ohinikwisele paathuli ofwa wa mwinyi otu. Zooshi zarettikhana khwa nanna olakeliyeezo.” ¹⁵Nawiisha khuntthempa Yuunusa khumweeselela mpahari. Aphano pahari na pheevo, zooshi khunyamala. ¹⁶Ooniyeevo toole, amalinyero ooshi khwiiya awoova channu na khumwaaputu Nnyizinku. Khunrettela twaha Nnyizinku na theenya ahiti.

¹⁷Amweeselelaziyeevo mpahari, Nnyizinku khuperekha swi khuluyeene yoori emmize Yuunusa, ye khwiiya mmatthupo wa swi siikhu ttatthu nthana na osikhu.
