Yona 4
1 Yona asepelaki na yango ata moke te, asilikaki makasi.
Ka naʻe mamahi ʻaupito ai ʻa Siona, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻene ʻita.
2 Asambelaki Yawe: — Oh Yawe! Ezali te makambo ya boye nde nazalaki komilobela tango nazalaki epai na ngai? Yango wana nasalaki na ngai mobembo na Tarsisi mpo na koluka kokima, pamba te nayebaki malamu ete ozali Nzambe ya ngolu mpe ya mawa, osilikaka noki te mpe otonda na bolingo, obongolaka makanisi na Yo ya kosala bato mabe.
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 Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, kamata na Yo bomoi na ngai; pamba te eleki malamu ete nakufa na ngai, kasi nazala na bomoi te!
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 Kasi Yawe azongiselaki ye: — Boni, okanisi ete ozali kosala malamu ndenge ozali kosilika?
Pea naʻe toki folofola ʻa Sihova, “ʻOku lelei koā ʻa hoʻo ʻita?”
5 Yona abimaki na libanda ya engumba mpe akendeki kovanda na este na yango. Kuna, amitongelaki ndako moko ya matiti mpe avandaki na se ya pio na yango mpo na kozela makambo oyo ekokweyela engumba Ninive.
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 Yawe Nzambe abimisaki nzete moko mpe akolisaki yango mpo na kopesa pio na moto ya Yona mpe kokitisa ye motema. Nzete yango esepelisaki Yona makasi.
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 Kasi na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Nzambe abimisaki mwa nyama moko oyo eliaka banzete; bongo eliaki nzete yango, mpe nzete yango ekawukaki.
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 Tango moyi ebimaki makasi, Nzambe atindaki mopepe ya este oyo epesaki molunge makasi. Moyi ebetaki moto ya Yona makasi. Yona alembaki nzoto, asengaki kokufa; alobaki: — Eleki malamu ete nakufa na ngai, kasi nazala na bomoi te!
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 Nzambe alobaki na Yona: — Okanisi ete ozali kosala malamu ndenge ozali kosilika mpo na nzete oyo? Yona azongisaki: — Ezali se bongo. Nazali kosala malamu ndenge nazali kosilika kino kosenga kufa na ngai.
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 Yawe alobaki: — Oyoki pasi na motema mpo na nzete oyo omoneli ata pasi te mpe okolisi te, oyo ekoli kaka na butu moko mpe ekawuki na butu oyo elandi! Oyokeli yango mpe mawa!
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 Bongo ndenge nini Ngai nayoka motema pasi te mpo na Ninive, engumba monene, oyo ezali na bato koleka nkoto nkama moko na tuku mibale oyo bayebi te kokesenisa makambo mabe mpe makambo malamu, mpe ezali na ebele ya bibwele?
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?”
