< Yona 1 >
1 Yawe alobaki na Yona, mwana mobali ya Amitayi:
Ko eni, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siona, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmitai, ʻo pehē,
2 — Telema, kende na Ninive, engumba monene, mpe kebisa bato na yango, pamba te mabe na bango ekomi kino epai na ngai.
“Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ki Ninive, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, pea ke kalanga ki ai; he kuo aʻu hake ki hoku ʻao ʻa ʻenau angahala.”
3 Yona atelemaki. Kasi mpo na kokima mosika na Yawe, akendeki na Tarsisi, akitaki na libongo ya Jafa mpe akutaki kuna masuwa moko oyo ezalaki kokende na Tarsisi. Sima na ye kofuta mbongo mpo na mobembo, akotaki na masuwa yango mpo na kokende na Tarsisi, mosika na Yawe.
Ka naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Siona ke hola ki Tasisi mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ne ʻalu hifo ai ki Sopa; pea naʻa ne ʻilo ai ʻae vaka, naʻe te u folau ki Tasisi; ko ia naʻa ne ʻatu ki ai ʻae totongi, ʻo ne ʻalu ai, ko ʻene ʻalu mo kinautolu ki Tasisi, mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
4 Kasi Yawe atindaki mopepe makasi na likolo ya ebale monene, mpe mopepe yango ememaki mbonge oyo ekomaki pene ya kozindisa masuwa.
Ka naʻe tuku atu ʻe Sihova ʻae fuʻu matangi ki he tahi, pea naʻe havili ʻaupito ʻi he vaha, pea ko ia naʻe hangē ka maumau ʻae vaka.
5 Bato oyo basalaka na masuwa bakomaki kobanga, mpe moto na moto akomaki kobelela nzambe na ye; babwakaki biloko nyonso oyo bazalaki na yango na ebale monene mpo na kokomisa masuwa pepele. Kasi Yona akitaki na kobe ya masuwa mpe, kuna, alalaki pongi ya makasi.
Pea naʻe toki manavahē ʻae kau vaka, pea naʻe taki taha tangi ki hono ʻotua, pea naʻe tolo kotoa pē ʻae meʻa ʻi he vaka, koeʻuhi ke maʻamaʻa. Ka kuo ʻalu hifo ʻa Siona ki he kaokao ʻoe vaka; pea naʻa ne tokoto, ʻo mohe maʻu.
6 Mokumbi masuwa apusanaki pene ya Yona mpe alobaki na ye: — Ndenge nini okoki penza kolala pongi boye? Telema mpe belela nzambe na yo, tango mosusu akoki koyokela biso mawa mpo ete tokufa te.
Ko ia ne haʻu ai kiate ia ʻae ʻeiki vaka ʻo ne pehēange kiate ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo hoʻo pehē, ʻa koe ʻoku mohe? Tuʻu hake, ui ki ho ʻOtua ʻoʻou, heiʻilo ʻe manatuʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau mate.”
7 Bato oyo basalaka na masuwa bamilobelaki bango na bango: « Boya! Tobeta zeke mpo toyeba moto oyo azali kobendela biso pasi oyo. » Babetaki zeke, mpe zeke yango ekweyaki epai ya Yona.
Pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki ʻiate kinautolu, “Ko eni ke tau fai ha talotalo, koeʻuhi ke tau ʻilo pe ko hai ia kuo hoko ai ʻae kovi ni kiate kitautolu.” Pea naʻa nau talotalo, pea totonu ʻae talotalo kia Siona.
8 Batunaki ye: — Yebisa biso nani azali kobendela biso pasi oyo? Osalaka nini? Owuti wapi? Mboka na yo nini, mpe ozali moto ya ekolo nini?
Pea naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, fakahā mai pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa kuo hoko ai ʻae kovi ni kiate kitautolu; Ko e hā hoʻo ngāue ʻaʻau? Pea kuo ke haʻu koe mei fē? Ko fē ʻia ho fonua? Pea ʻoku ke ʻoe kakai fē?”
9 Yona azongisaki: — Nazali Mo-Ebre, nasambelaka Yawe, Nzambe ya Lola, oyo akela bibale mpe mokili.
Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e tangata Hepelū au; pea ʻoku ou manavahē kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ʻaia kuo ne ngaohi ʻae tahi, pea mo e fonua mōmoa.”
10 Ayebisaki bango ete azali kokima mosika na Yawe. Boye bato yango babangaki makasi; batunaki ye: — Eloko nini osalaki kuna?
Pea naʻe toki tō ai ʻae manavahē lahi ki he kau tangata, mo nau pehē kiate ia. “Ko e hā kuo ke fai ai ʻae meʻa ni?” He naʻe ʻilo ʻe he kau tangata ʻa ʻene hola mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, he naʻa ne fakahā ia kiate kinautolu.
11 Lokola ebale ezalaki kotomboka makasi penza, batunaki ye lisusu: — Tosala yo nini mpo ete ebale evanda kimia mpe etika kotungisa biso?
Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Ko e hā te mau fai kiate koe, koeʻuhi kae laolao ʻae tahi kiate kitautolu?” He naʻe hou ʻae tahi, pea havili lahi.
12 Azongiselaki bango: — Bokamata ngai mpe bobwaka ngai na ebale monene, mpe yango ekovanda kimia, pamba te nayebi malamu ete ezali mpo na ngai nde mopepe makasi oyo etelemeli bino.
Pea ne pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou hiki hake au, pea lī au ki tahi; ko ia ia ʻe laolao ai ʻae tahi kiate kimoutolu: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ko au pe ia kuo hoko ai ʻae fuʻu havili ni kiate kimoutolu.”
13 Bato yango bamipesaki nanu na koluka nkayi, na makasi na bango nyonso, mpo na komema masuwa na mokili, kasi balongaki te, pamba te mopepe etelemelaki bango makasi.
Ka naʻe fekeli mālohi ʻae kau tangata koeʻuhi ke nau lava ki ʻuta: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai: he naʻe hou ʻae tahi, pea havili, pea tokai kiate kinautolu.
14 Bongo, babelelaki Yawe: « Oh Yawe, tobondeli Yo, koboma biso te likolo ya moto oyo. Kotika te ete makila ya moto oyo asali mabe te etangama na mito na biso. Pamba te ezali solo Yo Yawe nde osali oyo olingaki. »
Ko ia naʻa nau tangi ai kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa mau mate, koeʻuhi ko e moʻui ʻae tangata ni; pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia: he ko koe, ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fai ʻe koe ʻa hoʻo faʻiteliha.”
15 Boye, bakamataki Yona mpe babwakaki ye na ebale monene; mpe mbala moko, ebale monene oyo etombokaki makasi evandaki kimia.
Ko ia ne nau toʻo hake ʻa Siona, pea lī atu ia ki tahi: pea naʻe ngata ai leva ʻae hou ʻae tahi.
16 Babangaki mpe bayokaki somo makasi liboso ya Yawe; babonzelaki Ye bambeka mpe bapesaki Ye bilaka.
Pea ne toki manavahē lahi ʻaupito ʻae kau tangata kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau fai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova, mo nau fai ʻae ngaahi fuakava.
17 Yawe atindaki mbisi moko ya monene komela Yona. Boye Yona asalaki kati na libumu ya mbisi yango mikolo misato mpe babutu misato.
Ka ko eni, naʻe teuteu ʻe Sihova ʻae fuʻu ika ke ne folo hifo ʻa Siona. Pea naʻe ʻaho tolu mo pō tolu ʻa Siona ʻi he kete ʻoe ika.
