Yona 3
1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yona omulundi ogwokubiri, n’amugamba nti,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Jona hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 “Genda mu kibuga ekinene Nineeve obalabule n’obubaka buno bwe nkuwa.”
“Ũkĩra, ũthiĩ itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩa Nineve, na ũrĩhunjĩrie ũhoro ũrĩa ngũkwĩra.”
3 Awo Yona n’agondera Mukama n’agenda e Nineeve. Nineeve kyali kibuga kya kitiibwa nnyo era nga kitwala ennaku ssatu okukibuna kyonna.
Nake Jona agĩathĩkĩra ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, agĩthiĩ Nineve. Na rĩrĩ, Nineve rĩarĩ itũũra inene na rĩa bata mũno. Kũrĩthiũrũrũka rĩothe kũngĩaninire mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
4 Ku lunaku olwasooka Yona yatambula olunaku lwonna ng’agenda alangirira nti, “Bwe waliyitawo ennaku amakumi ana, Nineeve kirizikirira.”
Mũthenya wa mbere Jona akĩambĩrĩria gũtoonya itũũra rĩu. Akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gwatigia mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩna Nineve kũharaganio.”
5 Abantu b’omu Nineeve ne bakkiriza Katonda, ne balangirira okusiiba ne beesiba ebibukutu, bonna okuva ku asinga ekitiibwa okutuuka ku asembayo okuba owa wansi.
Nao andũ a Nineve magĩĩtĩkia Ngai. Makĩanĩrĩra kũgĩe na ihinda rĩa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio, nao othe makĩĩhumba nguo cia makũnia, kuuma ũrĩa mũnene mũno o nginya ũrĩa mũnini mũno.
6 Amawulire gano bwe gaatuuka ku kabaka w’e Nineeve, n’ayimuka ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, ne yeeyambulamu ekyambalo kye, ne yeesiba ekibukutu, n’atuula mu nfuufu.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũthamaki wa kũu Nineve aakinyĩirwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio-rĩ, agĩũkĩra akiuma gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene, akĩruta nguo ciake cia ũthamaki, akĩĩhumba nguo ya ikũnia, na agĩikara thĩ rũkũngũ-inĩ.
7 Kabaka teyakoma awo, wabula n’ayisa n’etteeka n’alibunya Nineeve yonna nga ligamba nti, Olw’ekiragiro kya kabaka n’abakungu be: “Tewaba muntu yenna, wadde ensolo oba eggana n’ekisibo, okukomba ku mmere wadde amazzi;
Ningĩ akĩanĩrĩrithia ũhoro ũyũ kũu Nineve: “Kuumana na uuge wa mũthamaki na andũ ake arĩa marĩ igweta: “Mũtikareke mũndũ o wothe, kana nyamũ cia rũũru rwa ngʼombe kana rwa mbũri, irũme kĩndũ; itikarekwo irĩe kana inyue.
8 naye buli muntu n’ekisibo bibikkibwe n’ebibukutu, era bikaabirire nnyo Katonda, era birekeraawo okwonoona n’okukola eby’obukambwe.
No rĩrĩ, andũ nĩmehumbe nguo cia makũnia o nacio nyamũ nĩihumbwo makũnia. O mũndũ nĩakaĩre Ngai narua. Andũ nĩmatige mĩthiĩre yao mĩũru na ngũĩ ciao.
9 Ani amanyi? Oboolyawo Katonda anaakyusa ku kibonerezo kye, kye yatusalira n’akkakkanya obusungu bwe n’atatuzikiriza.”
Nũũ ũngĩmenya kana Ngai aahota kwĩricũkwo, aigue tha atigane na marakara make mahiũ nĩgeetha tũtikaniinwo.”
10 Awo Katonda bwe yalaba kye bakoze, ne baleka n’ebibi byabwe, n’abasonyiwa n’atabatuusaako kibonerezo, kye yali agambye okubatuusaako.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ngai onire ũrĩa meekire, na ũrĩa maagarũrũkĩte magatiga mĩthiĩre yao mĩũru-rĩ, akĩmaiguĩra tha akĩaga kũmaniina ta ũrĩa oigĩte nĩekũmaniina.
