Yona 3
1 Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yona zi evelia be,
Pea naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siona, ko hono liunga ua, ʻo pehē,
2 “Yi ɖe Ninive, du gã ma me, eye nàɖe gbeƒã nya siwo megblɔ na wò la na wo.”
“Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu ki Ninive, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, pea ke malangaʻaki ʻi ai ʻae lea te u fekau kiate koe.”
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.
Ko ia ne tuʻu hake ai ʻa Siona, pea ne ʻalu ki Ninive, ʻo hangē ko e folofola mai ʻa Sihova. Pea ko Ninive ko e fuʻu kolo lahi ʻaupito ia, ʻo feʻunga mo e fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.
4 Yona ge ɖe du la me hezɔ ŋkeke ɖeka nɔ gbeƒã ɖem be, “Esusɔ ŋkeke blaene ne woagbã Ninive du la!”
Pea naʻe kamata hū ʻa Siona ki he kolo ʻi he fononga ʻoe ʻaho ʻe taha, mo ʻene kalanga ʻo pehē, “ʻOku toe ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻa Ninive.”
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.
Ko ia naʻe tui ai ʻae kakai ʻo Ninive ki he ʻOtua, pea fanongonongo ʻae ʻaukai, mo nau ai ʻae tauangaʻa, ʻo fai mei he kakai māʻolunga ʻo aʻu kiate ia naʻe siʻi hifo taha ʻiate kinautolu.
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.
He naʻe ʻomi hono fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻo Ninive, pea ne tuʻu hake ia mei hono nofoʻanga, ʻo ne toʻo hono kofu tōtōlofa mo ne kofuʻaki ʻe ia ʻae tauangaʻa, pea nofo ki lalo ʻi he efuefu.
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.
Pea naʻa ne fekau ke fanongonongo mo fakahā ʻi Ninive, kuo fono ʻae tuʻi mo ʻene houʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa kamata ha meʻa ʻe ha taha pe ʻe ha manu, ʻe he tauhi, pe ʻe ha fanga manu: ʻoua naʻa nau kai pe te nau inu ha vai
8 Amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ata akpanya, woafa avi vevie na Mawu, woatrɔ le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi, eye woaɖe asi le vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi ŋuti.
Kae tuku ke kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa ʻe he tangata, pea mo e manu, pea tangi fakamanavahē ki he ʻOtua: ʻio, ke tafoki taki taha kotoa pē mei hono hala kovi, pea mei he fakamālohi ʻoku ʻi honau nima.
9 Ɖewohĩ, Mawu ate ŋu aɖo be míatsi agbe, eye wòaɖo asi eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ la dzi be wòagatsrɔ̃ mí o.”
Ko hai ʻoku ʻilo, naʻa ʻe liliu, pea fakatomala ʻae ʻOtua mo ne fakatafoki atu ʻae kakaha ʻo hono houhau, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau ʻauha?”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua ki heʻenau ngāue, kuo nau tafoki mei honau hala kovi: pea naʻe liliu ʻae ʻOtua mei he kovi ʻaia naʻa ne pehē te ne fakahoko kiate kinautolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fai ia.
