Jonah 4
1 Tedae thaehuet he Jonah taengah muep a thae pah tih amah khaw sai.
Ka naʻe mamahi ʻaupito ai ʻa Siona, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻene ʻita.
2 Te dongah BOEIPA taengla thangthui tih, “Aw BOEIPA, ka hmuenlung ah ka om vaengah he he ka ol moenih a? Te dongah ni Tarshish la yong ham ka mah. Namah he lungvatnah neh thinphoei Pathen la kan ming ta. Thintoek na ueh tih sitlohnah loh a puh dongah boethae khui lamloh ko na hlawt.
Pea naʻa ne lotu kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ʻikai naʻaku pehē, ʻe pehē pe, ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi hoku fonua? Ko ia ia naʻaku hola leva ai ki Tasisi; he naʻaku ʻilo ko e ʻOtua angaʻofa koe, pea faʻa ʻaloʻofa, ʻo tuai ki he houhau, pea angalelei ʻaupito, mo ke faʻa liliu mei he kovi.
3 BOEIPA aw, kai lamkah ka hinglu te lo mai laeh. Ka dueknah he ka hingnah lakah then,” a ti.
Ko ia ko eni, ʻe Sihova ʻoku ou kole kiate koe toʻo ʻa ʻeku moʻui meiate au, he ʻoku lelei lahi kiate au ke u mate ʻi heʻeku moʻui.”
4 Tedae BOEIPA loh, “Nang taengah a sai te thuem a?” a ti nah.
Pea naʻe toki folofola ʻa Sihova, “ʻOku lelei koā ʻa hoʻo ʻita?”
5 Te phoeiah Jonah te khopuei lamloh cet tih khopuei kah khothoeng ah kho a sak. Te vaengah amah hamla poca pahoi a sak tih khopuei ah metla a om khaw hmuh hamla hlipkhup kah a hmui ah ngol.
Ko ia naʻe mahuʻi atu ʻa Siona mei he kolo, pea ne nofo ki he potu fakahahake ʻoe kolo, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻi ai! ʻae fale louʻakau, pea ne nofo ia ʻi lalo ʻi hono malumalu, ko ʻene tatali kaeʻoua ke ne mamata pe ko e hā ʻe hoko ki he kolo.
6 Te vaengah Pathen BOEIPA loh tuikung a khueh pah tih Jonah soah a yam pah. A lu soah hlipkhup la a om pah dongah anih ham tah a yoethaenah khui lamloh huul uh. Te dongah Jonah tah tuikung dongah te kohoenah neh bahoeng a kohoe.
Pea naʻe teuteu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻae ʻakau, mo ne ngaohi ia ke tupu hake ʻo fakamalumalu ʻa Siona, koeʻuhi ke malu ai hono ʻulu, ke ʻoua naʻa ne mamahi. Ko ia naʻe fiefia ʻaupito ʻa Siona koeʻuhi ko e ʻakau.
7 Tedae a vuen mincang a pha vaengah Pathen loh phol a khueh pah tih tuikung te a ngawn pah dongah a koh pah.
Ka ʻi he hoko ki he pongipongi ʻoe ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe teuteu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kelemutu, pea ne maumauʻi ʻae ʻakau, pea mae ai ia.
8 Khomik a thoeng neh Pathen loh khothoeng yilh ling a paek. Te vaengah ah khomik loh Jonah lu te a do pah. Te dongah tawn coeng tih a hinglu te a duek ham ni a bih coeng. Te dongah, “Ka dueknah he ka hingnah lakah then,” a ti.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hopo hake ʻae laʻā, naʻe teuteu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae matangi vela mei he potu hahake; pea ne vela hifo ʻae laʻā ki he ʻulu ʻo Siona, ko ia ne pongia ai ia, pea naʻa ne holi ʻi hono loto ke ne mate, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku lelei hake ʻeku mate ʻi heʻeku moʻui.”
9 Tedae Pathen loh Jonah te, “Tuikung dongah na sai te thuem a?” a ti nah vaengah, “Dueknah hil ka sai tueng ta,” a ti nah.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kia Siona, “ʻOku lelei koā ʻa hoʻo ʻita koeʻuhi ko e ʻakau?” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku ou tonuhia ʻi heʻeku ʻita, ʻo aʻu ki he mate.”
10 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Nang loh tuikung te na rhen. Te ham te na thakthae pawt tih na rhoeng sak moenih. Te te hlaem khat ca ah poe tih hlaem khat ca ah ni a milh.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo ke ʻofa mamahi ki he ʻakau, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ngāue ki ai pe te ke fakatupu; ʻaia ne tupu hake ʻi he pō ʻe taha, pea mate ʻi he pō ʻe taha:
11 Tedae kai loh Nineveh khopuei len ka rhen mahpawt nim? A khuiah a bantang laklo neh a banvoei laklo aka ming pawh hlang thawng ya pakul lakah a yet neh rhamsa khaw muep om ta,” a ti nah.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai totonu koā ʻa ʻeku fakamoʻui ʻa Ninive, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ai ʻae kakai tokolahi hake ʻi he toko ono mano, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻilo honau nima toʻomataʻu mei honau nima toʻohema; pea ʻi ai mo e fanga manu lahi ʻaupito?”
