5. Yonasi u xi amukerisa ku yini xiavelo xakwe, naswona hi vuyelo byihi?

⁵ Yonasi a averiwa eNinivha kambe a baleka (1:1-16). “Rito ra Yehova ri ta eka Yonasi, n’wana Amitayi, ri ku: Suka u ya Ninivha, muti lowukulu, u wu vulavulela, hikuva ku homboloka ka wona ku tlhandlukile emahlweni ka mina.” (1:1, 2) Xana Yonasi u rhandza xiavelo lexi ke? Nikantsongo! U balekela etlhelweni leri hambaneke, a teka xikepe lexi kongomeke eTarxixi, leri kumbexana ri katsiwaka na Spain. Xikepe xa Yonasi xi hlangana ni bubutsa lerikulu. Hi ku chava vatluti va kombela mpfuno, “un’wana ni un’wana a huwelela eka xikwembu xa yena,” loko Yonasi a etlele exivandleni xa nhundzu xa xikepe. (1:5) Endzhaku ka ku pfuxa Yonasi, va hoxa tinhlolo hi matshalatshala yo kumisisa loyi a tihlamulelaka hi khombo ra vona. Tinhlolo ti ba Yonasi. Hi kona laha a titivisaka leswaku i Muheveru, mugandzeri wa Yehova, ni leswaku u baleka entirhweni wa yena lowu a wu nyikiweke hi Xikwembu. U va rhamba ku n’wi lahlela elwandle. Endzhaku ka ku endla matshalatshala man’wana yo kongomisa xikepe, eku heteleleni va humesa Yonasi exikepeni. Lwandle ri tshika ku kariha ka rona.

9. I langutelo ni ndlela yihi swa Yonasi leswi swi faneleke ku yima tanihi xitsundzuxo eka hina?

⁹ Endlelo ra Yonasi ni vuyelo bya rona swi fanele ku yima tanihi xitsundzuxo eka hina. U balekile entirhweni lowu a wu nyikiweke hi Xikwembu; a a fanele a veke voko ra yena entirhweni ivi a tshemba Xikwembu ku n’wi pfuna. (Yonas 1:3; Luka 9:62; Swiv. 14:26; Esa. 6:8) Loko a kongome etlhelweni leri hoxeke, u kombise langutelo lero biha hi ku hluleka ku tihlamusela hi ku ntshunxeka eka vatluti tanihi mugandzeri wa “Yehova, Xikwembu xa matilo.” A a lahlekeriwe hi xivindzi xa yena. (Yonas 1:7-9; Vaef. 6:19, 20) Ku tikurisa ka Yonasi ku n’wi yise eku languteni ka musa wa Yehova eka Ninivha tanihi ku tsongahatiwa ka munhu hi xiyexe; u ringete ku tisirhelela hi ku byela Yehova leswaku a a swi tiva nkarhi lowu hinkwawo leswaku lebyi a byi ta va byona vuyelo—kutani ha yini a n’wi rhuma tanihi muprofeta? U soriwile hikwalaho ka langutelo leri ra ku delela, ra ku vilela, kutani hi fanele ku pfuneka entokotweni wa yena ivi hi tshika ku xopa-xopa swihoxo eku kombiseni ka Yehova musa kumbe eka ndlela ya yena yo endla swilo.—Yonas 4:1-4, 7-9; Vafil. 2:13, 14; 1 Vakor. 10:10.
