1 Ephakathi kwenhlanzi uJona wakhuleka kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
Markaasaa Yoonis Rabbigii Ilaahiisa ahaa baryay, isagoo ku dhex jira calooshii kalluunka.
2 Wathi: “Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngambiza uThixo, wangiphendula. Ngisekujuleni kwengcwaba ngacela uncedo, wena wakulalela ukukhala kwami. (Sheol h7585)
Oo wuxuu yidhi, Dhibaatadayda aawadeed ayaan Rabbiga ugu yeedhay, Isna wuu ii jawaabay. Waxaan ka dhex qayliyey She'ool uurkiisa, Adna codkaygaad maqashay. (Sheol h7585)
3 Wangiphosela ezinzikini, phakathi emathunjini enlwandle, amagagasi agubhazela emaceleni wonke; wonke amagagasi akho lezimpophoma zawo kwangisibekela.
Waayo, waxaad igu dhex tuurtay moolka iyo badda uurkeeda. Hareerahaygana waxaa ku wareegsanaa daad, Hirarkaagii iyo mawjadahaagii oo dhammuna way i dul mareen.
4 Ngathi, ‘Sengixotshiwe ebusweni bakho; kodwa ngizakhangela njalo ethempelini lakho elingcwele.’
Kolkaasaan idhi, Indhahaaga hortooda waa layga tuuray; Welise waxaan mar kale eegayaa macbudkaaga quduuskaa.
5 Indonga zamanzi zaziqonde ukungimbokotha, ngangihanqwe yinziki; inkunkuma yotshani bolwandle yangithandela ekhanda.
Biyihii way i hareerayeen xataa naftayda, Moolkiina wuu igu wareegsanaa; Madaxaygana waxaa ku duudduubnaa caws badeed.
6 Ngagalula ngatshona empandeni zezintaba; umhlaba ongaphansi wangivalela okwaphakade. Kodwa wena wayikhupha impilo yami egodini, wena Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami.
Waxaan hoos ugu dhaadhacay buuraha guntooda; Oo weligay waxaa i awday dhulkii iyo gudbayaashiisiiba; Laakiinse, Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, noloshaydii waxaad ka soo bixisay yamayskii.
7 Lapho impilo yami yayisincipha, ngakhumbula wena, Thixo, umkhuleko wami waphakamela kuwe, ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
Markii naftaydu itaal darnaatay ayaan ku xusuustay, Rabbiyow; Oo baryadaydii adigay kuu timid, oo waxay kuugu soo gashay macbudkaaga quduuskaa.
8 Labo ababambelela ezithombeni ezingelamsebenzi balahlekelwa ngumusa ongaba ngowabo.
Kuwa waxyaalaha beenta ah oo aan micne lahayn ku fikiraa Waxay ka tagaan naxariistoodii.
9 Kodwa mina, ngizakuthi ngihlabela ingoma yokubonga ngenze umhlatshelo kuwe. Engikufungileyo ngizakugcwalisa. Insindiso ivela kuThixo.”
Aniguse codka mahadnaqidda ayaan allabari kuugu bixin doonaa; Wixii aan nidrayna waan bixinayaa. Badbaado waxaa leh Rabbiga.
10 UThixo walaya inhlanzi, yona yase imhlanza uJona emhlabathini owomileyo.
Markaasuu Rabbigu kalluunkii amray, kalluunkiina wuxuu Yoonis ku mantagay berriga.
