Yona 4
1 Ke esi Mawu tsɔ Ninivetɔwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ke wo la, Yona do dɔmedzoe vevie.
Ka naʻe mamahi ʻaupito ai ʻa Siona, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻene ʻita.
2 Edo gbe ɖa na Yehowa be, “O Yehowa, ɖe menye esiae megblɔ esi mele mía dedu me oa? Esia ta le gɔmedzedzea me la, mesi ɖo ta Tarsis, elabena menya be Mawu, amenuvela kple nublanuikpɔlae nènye. Ègbɔa dzi blewu; lɔlɔ̃ matrɔ bɔ ɖe asiwò, eye nètsɔa nu vɔ̃wo kena.
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 Eya ta Yehowa, meɖe kuku ɖe nye agbe ɖa; enyo nam be maku wu be manɔ agbe.”
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 Yehowa trɔ biae be, “Enyo be nàdo dɔmedzoe ɖe nu sia ta?”
Pea naʻe toki folofola ʻa Sihova, “ʻOku lelei koā ʻa hoʻo ʻita?”
5 Ale Yona yi ɖanɔ anyi ɖe dua ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo nublanuitɔe, eye wòtsɔ aŋgbawo wɔ agbadɔe henɔ ete nɔ lalam be yeakpɔ nu si le dzɔdzɔ ge ɖe dua dzi la ɖa.
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 Yehowa, Mawu na yevukutsati mie heɖo vɔvɔli ɖe Yona tame be wòatsi ŋudɔɖuame la nu. Yona kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ le yevukutsati la ŋuti.
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 Ke le fɔŋli la, Mawu na ŋɔ aɖe ɖu yevukutsati la, eye wòyrɔ.
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 Esi ɣe dze la, Mawu na ŋdɔ sesẽ la kplɔ ɣedzeƒeya xɔdzo aɖe va ƒo ɖe Yona dzi va se ɖe esime nu te eŋu vevie, eye wòbia be yeaku, elabena egblɔ be, “Enyo nam be maku wu manɔ agbe.”
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 Mawu gblɔ na Yona be, “Enyo be nàdo dɔmedzoe esi ati la kua?” Yona ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, tɔnye dzɔ be mado dɔmedzoe va se ɖe esime maku!”
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 Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Esi ati si dzi mèkpɔ wòtsi o, eya ŋutɔe mie le zã ɖeka me, eye wòku le zã ɖeka me la ƒe ku le vewòm ale ɖe,
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 ekema nu ka ta nyemakpɔ nublanui na du gã xɔŋkɔ abe Ninive ene, du si me ame akpe alafa ɖeka kple blaeve siwo menya woƒe ɖusi tso woƒe mia gbɔ o la le kpe ɖe woƒe lã gbogboawo ŋu o ɖo?”
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?”
