³Mukama tatera kusunguwala, ate nga wa maanyi mangi era tayinza n’akatono butabonereza oyo gwe gusinze. Ekkubo lye liri mu mpewo ey’akazimu ne mu kibuyaga, n’ebire ye nfuufu y’ebigere bye.

⁷Mukama mulungi, kiddukiro mu kiseera eky’okulabiramu ennaku, era alabirira abo bonna abamwesiga.

⁸Naye alisaanyaawo abalabe be mu mataba amazibu, ekizikiza kiribawondera.

¹⁰Kubanga baliba ng’amaggwa agakwataganye, era nga batamidde, balyoke bookebwe omuliro ng’ekisambu ekikalu.

¹¹Mu ggwe Nineeve muvuddemu omuntu alowooza akabi era ateesa ebibi ku Mukama.

¹²Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Newaakubadde nga balina be bakolagana nabo bangi, ate nga bangi, balizikirizibwa ne baggwaawo. Newaakubadde nga mbabonereza mmwe abantu bange, siriddayo kukikola nate.

¹³Kaakano nzija kumenya ekikoligo kyabwe nkibaggyeko era n’ebibasibye nnaabikutulakutula.”

¹⁴Kino Mukama ky’alagidde ekikwata ku Nineeve: “Erinnya lyo terikyayala nate. Ndizikiriza ekifaananyi ekyole n’ekifaananyi ekisaanuuse ebiri mu masabo g’abakatonda bo; ndisima entaana yo kubanga oyinze obugwagwa.”
