3:1	Lafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYona okwesibini, esithi:
3:2	Phakama, uye eNineve, umzi omkhulu. Uze ushumayele iindaba ezilungileyo endizithethayo kuni.
3:3	Wesuka ke uYona, waya eNineve ngokwelizwi likaYehova. And Nineveh was a great city of three days’ journey.
3:4	And Jonah began to enter into the city one day’s journey. Uye wakhala wathi, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed.”
3:5	And the men of Nineveh believed in God. And they proclaimed a fast, and they put on sackcloth, from the greatest all the way to the least.
3:6	And word reached the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne, and he threw off his robe from himself and was clothed in sackcloth, and he sat in ashes.
3:7	And he cried out and spoke: “In Nineveh, from the mouth of the king and of his princes, let it be said: Men and beasts and oxen and sheep may not taste anything. Neither shall they feed or drink water.
3:8	And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and let them cry out to the Lord with strength, and may man be converted from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands.
3:9	Who knows if God may turn and forgive, and may turn away from his furious wrath, so that we might not perish?”
3:10	And God saw their works, that they had been converted from their evil way. And God took pity on them, concerning the harm that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

11:29	Emva koko, as the crowds were quickly gathering, he began to say: “This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign. But no sign will be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
11:30	For just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of man be to this generation.
11:31	The queen of the South will rise up, at the judgment, with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Kwaye khangela, more than Solomon is here.
11:32	The men of Nineveh will rise up, at the judgment, with this generation, and they will condemn it. For at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. Kwaye khangela, more than Jonah is here.
