< UJona 2 >
1 Ephakathi kwenhlanzi uJona wakhuleka kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
Yona do gbe ɖa na Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la le tɔmelã gã la ƒe dɔ me be,
2 Wathi: “Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngambiza uThixo, wangiphendula. Ngisekujuleni kwengcwaba ngacela uncedo, wena wakulalela ukukhala kwami. (Sheol )
“Le nye xaxa gã me, medo ɣli na Yehowa, eye wòɖo tom. Meyɔe le aʋlime ke, eye Yehowa se nye kokoƒoƒo! (Sheol )
3 Wangiphosela ezinzikini, phakathi emathunjini enlwandle, amagagasi agubhazela emaceleni wonke; wonke amagagasi akho lezimpophoma zawo kwangisibekela.
Ekɔm ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu ƒe gogloƒe ke; meyi to, ƒu dzeagbo la ŋe tsyɔ dzinye, eye ƒutsotsoe sesẽwo si to dzinye.
4 Ngathi, ‘Sengixotshiwe ebusweni bakho; kodwa ngizakhangela njalo ethempelini lakho elingcwele.’
Ale megblɔ be, ‘O Yehowa, ènyam ɖa le wò ŋkume. Ke hã la, magatrɔ mo ɖe wò gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la gbɔ.’
5 Indonga zamanzi zaziqonde ukungimbokotha, ngangihanqwe yinziki; inkunkuma yotshani bolwandle yangithandela ekhanda.
Tsi la tsyɔ dzinye, tɔ goglo la ƒo xlãm, eye ƒumegbewo bliba ta nam.
6 Ngagalula ngatshona empandeni zezintaba; umhlaba ongaphansi wangivalela okwaphakade. Kodwa wena wayikhupha impilo yami egodini, wena Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami.
Meyi to ɖe to kɔkɔ siwo le ƒua me la ƒe agu nu ke. Wotu agbe ƒe mɔ ɖe nunye eye wode gam ɖe ku ƒe anyigba dzi. Gake wò Yehowa, nye Mawu, èɖem tso ku ƒe asi me!
7 Lapho impilo yami yayisincipha, ngakhumbula wena, Thixo, umkhuleko wami waphakamela kuwe, ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
“Esi nye agbe nu le tsotsom la, meda nye susuwo ɖe dziwò, Yehowa, eye nye gbedodoɖa ɖo gbɔwò le wò gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la me.
8 Labo ababambelela ezithombeni ezingelamsebenzi balahlekelwa ngumusa ongaba ngowabo.
“Ame siwo subɔa alakpamawuwo la bua Yehowa ƒe amenuveve si anye wo tɔ!
9 Kodwa mina, ngizakuthi ngihlabela ingoma yokubonga ngenze umhlatshelo kuwe. Engikufungileyo ngizakugcwalisa. Insindiso ivela kuThixo.”
Ke nye la, matsɔ akpedaha asa vɔe na wò, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na wò, elabena Yehowa gbɔe ɖeɖe tsona.”
10 UThixo walaya inhlanzi, yona yase imhlanza uJona emhlabathini owomileyo.
Ale Yehowa ɖe gbe na ƒumelã la, eye wòyi ɖatu Yona ɖe anyigba ƒuƒui dzi.
