3 Ale Yona ɖo to Yehowa ƒe gbe azɔ, eye wòyi Ninive. Ninive nye du gã aɖe si woatsɔ ŋkeke etɔ̃ hafi azɔ ato eme.

4 Yona ge ɖe du la me hezɔ ŋkeke ɖeka nɔ gbeƒã ɖem be, “Esusɔ ŋkeke blaene ne woagbã Ninive du la!”

5 Ame siwo le Ninive dua me la xɔ Mawu dzi se; woɖe gbeƒã nutsitsidɔ, eye ame sia ame, tsitsiawo kple ɖeviwo siaa ta akpanya.
Anthu a ku Ninive anakhulupirira Mulungu. Analengeza kuti aliyense, wamkulu ndi wamngʼono yemwe asale zakudya ndipo avale chiguduli.
6 Esi Ninive fia se Yona ƒe mawunya la, eɖi le eƒe fiazikpui dzi, ɖe eƒe fiawuwo da ɖi, eye wòta akpanya henɔ anyi ɖe dzofi me.
Mfumu ya ku Ninive itamva nkhaniyi, inatsika pa mpando wake waufumu, nivula mkanjo wake waufumu ndipo inavala chiguduli ndi kukhala pansi pa fumbi.
7 Fia la na woɖe gbeƒã le Ninive dua me be: “Fia kple eƒe dumegãwo de se be: “Amegbetɔ alo lã, nyi alo alẽ aɖeke maɖu nu o. Womana nuɖuɖu alo tsi wo o.
Tsono mfumuyo inalengeza mu Ninive kuti, “Mwa lamulo lochokera kwa mfumu ndi akalonga ake: “Munthu aliyense kapenanso nyama, ngʼombe kapena nkhosa, zisadye kanthu kalikonse; musazilole kuti zidye kapena kumwa.
8 Amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ata akpanya, woafa avi vevie na Mawu, woatrɔ le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi, eye woaɖe asi le vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi ŋuti.
Koma anthu avale ziguduli, ndipo nyamanso aziveke ziguduli. Munthu aliyense azifuwula kwa Mulungu ndi mphamvu zake zonse. Anthuwo asiye makhalidwe awo oyipa ndi machitidwe achiwawa.
9 Ɖewohĩ, Mawu ate ŋu aɖo be míatsi agbe, eye wòaɖo asi eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ la dzi be wòagatsrɔ̃ mí o.”
Angadziwe ndani? Mwina Mulungu nʼkutikhululukira ndipo mwa chifundo chake nʼkuleka kutikwiyira, ifeyo osawonongedwa.”
10 Ke esi Mawu kpɔ be woɖe asi le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo ŋuti la, eɖe asi le ɖoɖo si wòwɔ be yeatsrɔ̃ wo la ŋu, eye wòtsɔe ke wo.
Mulungu ataona zimene anthuwo anachita, ndi mmene anasiyira makhalidwe awo oyipa, anawachitira chifundo ndipo sanabweretse chiwonongeko chimene anawaopseza nacho.
