1 Mgbe ahụ, Jona sitere nʼafọ azụ ahụ kpeere Onyenwe anyị Chineke ekpere.
Yona ali mʼmimba mwa chinsomba chija anapemphera kwa Yehova Mulungu wake.
2 Ọ sịrị, “Esitere m nʼahụhụ m kpọkuo Onyenwe anyị, ọ zakwara m. Nʼafọ ala mmụọ ka m si tikuo gị, ị nụkwara olu akwa m. (Sheol h7585)
Iye anati: “Pamene ndinali mʼmavuto anga ndinayitana Yehova, ndipo Iye anandiyankha. Ndili ku dziko la anthu akufa ndinapempha thandizo, ndipo Inu munamva kulira kwanga. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ị tụnyere m nʼime mmiri dị omimi, nʼetiti oke osimiri. Osimiri dịkwa m gburugburu, ebili mmiri gị na mmali mmiri gị gabigakwara m nʼisi.
Munandiponya mʼnyanja yozama, mʼkati mwenimweni mwa nyanja, ndipo madzi oyenda anandizungulira; mafunde anu onse ndi mkokomo wake zinandimiza.
4 Mgbe ahụ, asịrị m, ‘E sitela nʼihu gị chụpụ m; ma otu ọ dị, aga m elegidekwa anya m ọzọ nʼebe ụlọnsọ ukwu gị dị.’
Ndinati, ‘Ine ndachotsedwa pamaso panu; komabe ndidzayangʼananso ku Nyumba yanu yopatulika.’
5 Mmiri gbara m gburugburu, ruo nʼolu m, ogbu mmiri na-erikpu m. Achara mmiri kekụkwara m nʼisi.
Madzi wondimiza anandichititsa mantha, nyanja yozama inandizungulira; udzu wa mʼmadzi zinakuta mutu wanga.
6 Arịdaruola m nʼala ugwu ugwu nke osimiri, ala ahụ ihe ntụchi ya niile kpachitara m ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ma i meela ka m si nʼolulu pụta na ndụ, Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke m.
Ndinatsikira kunsi ndithu, mʼtsinde mwa mapiri; mipiringidzo ya dziko inanditsekereza kosatha. Koma Inu munatulutsa moyo wanga mʼmandamo, Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga.
7 “Mgbe mmụọ m na-ada mba nʼike nʼike, e chetara m gị Onyenwe anyị, ma ekpere m bịakwutere gị, nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu gị dị nsọ.
“Pamene moyo wanga umachoka mwa ine, ine ndinakumbukira Inu Yehova, ndipo pemphero langa linafika kwa inu, ku Nyumba yanu yopatulika.
8 “Ndị na-arapara nʼarụsị dị iche iche na-enweghị uru ha bara, na-agbakụta ebere Chineke azụ.
“Iwo amene amagwiritsitsa mafano achabechabe amataya chisomo chawo.
9 Ma ọ bụ olu abụ ekele ka mụ onwe m ga-eji chụọrọ gị aja. Aga m akwụghachi nkwa niile m kwere. Nʼihi na ‘Nzọpụta bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.’”
Koma ine ndidzapereka kwa Inu nsembe ndikuyimba nyimbo yamayamiko. Chimene ndinalonjeza ndidzachikwaniritsa. Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova.”
10 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị nyere azụ ahụ iwu, nke mere ka ọ gbọpụta Jona nʼala akọrọ.
Ndipo Yehova analamula chinsomba chija, ndipo chinakamusanza Yonayo mʼmbali mwa nyanja.
