Akanwa ka Nnâmahanga kanacirhindakwo Yônà obwa kabirhi, erhi: 
«Yimuka, ojè e Ninive, cishagala cinene, obabwîre ebi nîkubwîra.» 
Yônà anaciyimuka, ajà e Ninive nk’oku Nnâmahanga analidesire. Omanyage oku Ninive ali munene: olurhali lugendo lwa nsiku isharhu lurhankarhumire omuntu amuyûsa amugeramwo. 
Yônà anacihira njira, alambagira omulegerege gwoshi. Akajahamagaza n’okuderha, erhi: «Hacisigîre nsiku makumi anni, Ninive ahongoke.» 
Engabo ya Ninive yanaciyêmêra Nnâmahanga, yahuluza n’okulâlika okucîshalisa, yanayambala sunzu, kurhenga oku mukulu kuhika oku murhò. 
Omwanzi gwahikakwo mwâmi w’e Ninive, azikûka oku ntebe yâge, ahogola ecishâli câge, acîbwîka sunzu, acîbwâlika n’omu luvù. 
Okuhandi balâlika muli Ninive yêshi, oku irhegeko lya mwâmi haguma n’abarhambo, mpu: «Abantu boshi, n’ebintu ntâye okozagye amîshi erhi biryo ekanwa. 
Muyambale sunzu, muharâmye munashenge Nyamuzinda obwonjo oku byâha binyu, muleke okuhimba kwinyu kubî, muleke ebigalugalu by’amaboko ginyu. 
Ndi omanyire erhi Nnâmahanga arhankashukira ashube okuboko, aleke obukunizi bwâge arhuyôkole?» 
Nnâmahanga abona oku badwîrhe batabataba mpu lyo bahindula engeso zâbo. Lêro ashukira, arhacibarhumiraga obuhanya àli amâhiga oku âbarhumira.
