UJona 2
1 Ephakathi kwenhlanzi uJona wakhuleka kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
Awo Yona n’asinziira mu kyennyanja n’asaba Mukama Katonda we, ng’agamba
2 Wathi: “Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngambiza uThixo, wangiphendula. Ngisekujuleni kwengcwaba ngacela uncedo, wena wakulalela ukukhala kwami. (Sheol h7585)
nti, “Mu nnaku yange ennyingi nakaabirira Mukama n’anziramu; mu buziba ewala mu magombe nakukoowoola, era n’owulira eddoboozi lyange! (Sheol h7585)
3 Wangiphosela ezinzikini, phakathi emathunjini enlwandle, amagagasi agubhazela emaceleni wonke; wonke amagagasi akho lezimpophoma zawo kwangisibekela.
Kubanga wansuula ewala mu buziba mu nnyanja, ne nzika, amayengo gonna, ensozi n’ensozi z’amazzi ebikunta ne bimbikka ne binneetooloola.
4 Ngathi, ‘Sengixotshiwe ebusweni bakho; kodwa ngizakhangela njalo ethempelini lakho elingcwele.’
Ne ndyoka njogera nti, ‘Ngobeddwa mu maaso go; Ddala ndiddayo nate okulaba yeekaalu yo entukuvu?’
5 Indonga zamanzi zaziqonde ukungimbokotha, ngangihanqwe yinziki; inkunkuma yotshani bolwandle yangithandela ekhanda.
Nakkira ddala ku ntobo wansi w’amayengo, okufa ne kumbeerera ddala kumpi; Amazzi nga ganneetoolodde era ng’omuddo gw’omu nnyanja gunneezingiridde ku mutwe.
6 Ngagalula ngatshona empandeni zezintaba; umhlaba ongaphansi wangivalela okwaphakade. Kodwa wena wayikhupha impilo yami egodini, wena Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami.
Ne ŋŋendera ddala ku ntobo, ensozi z’omu nnyanja gye zisibuka, eyo, ensi n’ensibirayo emirembe n’emirembe. Naye ggwe Mukama Katonda wange, onzigye mu bunnya, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange.
7 Lapho impilo yami yayisincipha, ngakhumbula wena, Thixo, umkhuleko wami waphakamela kuwe, ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
“Bwe nnali nga mpweddemu essuubi, emmeeme yange ng’ezirika ne nkujjukira, Ayi Mukama Katonda. Awo okusaba kwange entakeera ne kutuuka mu yeekaalu yo entukuvu.
8 Labo ababambelela ezithombeni ezingelamsebenzi balahlekelwa ngumusa ongaba ngowabo.
“Abo abassaayo omwoyo ku balubaale ne bakatonda abataliimu ne babasinza, beefiiriza okusaasirwa kwa Katonda okubalindiridde!
9 Kodwa mina, ngizakuthi ngihlabela ingoma yokubonga ngenze umhlatshelo kuwe. Engikufungileyo ngizakugcwalisa. Insindiso ivela kuThixo.”
Naye nze, n’oluyimba olw’okukutendereza, ndikuwa ssaddaaka. Ddala ndituukiriza obweyamo bwange kubanga obulokozi buva eri Mukama Katonda.”
10 UThixo walaya inhlanzi, yona yase imhlanza uJona emhlabathini owomileyo.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’alagira ekyennyanja ne kiwandula Yona n’agwa ettale ku lukalu.
