UJona 1
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuJona indodana ka-Amithayi lathi:
Amittai chapa Jonah kommah Pathen thupeh ahung lhung in,
2 “Hamba uye edolobheni elikhulu laseNiniva utshumayele ngokulisola kakhulu, ngoba ububi balo sebufinyelele kimi.”
Kipat dohin lang Ninevah kiti khopi lentaha khun gihna thu gaphongdoh tan ajeh chu amite’u gitlouna hi kamu chen tan ahi.
3 Kodwa uJona wabalekela uThixo waqonda eThashishi. Wehla waya eJopha, lapho afica khona umkhumbi owawusiya kuleyondawo. Eseyikhuphile imali yokugada, wangena umkhumbi waqonda eThashishi yena ebalekela uThixo.
Ahinlah Jonah akipat dohin Pakaiya konin akihei mangin Joppa kongkai munlanga achen kong sunga alut in atou man apen Tarshish lam jonin akitoltan ahi.
4 UThixo wathumela isiphepho elwandlwe, kwaphenquka isavunguzane esasingathi sizawubhidliza umkhumbi.
Ahin Pakaiyin twikhanglen chunga chun huipi hattahin ahin nun sahin kong suhkeh theileu chun hui le go nasatahin ahin nuhtan ahi.
5 Bonke abagwedli bawo besaba, ngulowo lalowo wakhala kunkulunkulu wakhe. Baphosela imithwalo elwandle ukuze baphungule ubunzima bomkhumbi. Kodwa uJona wayehlele endlwaneni engaphansi, emkhunjini, walala khona ubuthongo bukabhuka.
Kong sepai ho chu thina khop hellin akichatauvin, lung lengvai pumin ama ama Pathen ngehnan ataovun, chuleh kong jankhaina ding chun kong sunga kon chun thil gehsa ho chu aseplha tauvin ahi. Ahinlah Jonah chu kong indan noinung penna akum lhan ana lummin kho helou khopin ana imu lhatan ahi.
6 Induna yomkhumbi yaya kuye yathi, “Ungalala njani? Vuka ubize unkulunkulu wakho! Mhlawumbe yena uzasizwa ukuze singabhubhi.”
Hichun kong sepai lamkai pa chun Jonah chu aga mudohin ajah a “A imupa ipi nangaito hitam thoudoh in na Pathen henga tauvin chutileh aman ithigam nadiuva konna hi eihuhdoh theidiu ahi” ati.
7 Abagwedli basebecebisana bathi, “Wozani, senze inkatho ukuze sibone ukuthi ngubani osibangele uhlupho lolu.” Bayenza inkatho, yadla uJona.
Hitichun amaho akihouvun, khaije hiche vangsetna hi eiholah a koipen jeh hiding ham vang veuhite akitiuvin, vang avetauvin ahileh Jonah chunga chun achu tan ahi.
8 Basebembuza bathi, “Akusitshele, ngubani osibangele lonke lolu uhlupho na? Wenza msebenzi bani na? Uvela ngaphi? Ungowakuliphi ilizwe? Ungowasiphi isizwe na?”
Hichun amahon Jonah komma ipi jeh'a hitobang vangsetna hi ichunguva chu hitam? Nang koi nahim? Ipi na tong na him? Hoiya konna na hung ham? Koigam mi nahim? tin adong tauvin ahi.
9 Waphendula wathi, “NgingumHebheru, ngikhonza uThixo, uNkulunkulu wasezulwini, owenza ulwandle kanye lomhlabathi.”
Jonah in adonbutin, keima Hebrew mi kahin, Leiset leh Twikhanglen semma van Pathen ging jinga um mi kahi ati.
10 Lokhu kwabethusa, babuza bathi, “Wenzeni pho?” (Babekwazi ukuthi ubalekela uThixo ngoba wayevele esebatshelile.)
Jonah chun Pathen na konna hung jamdoha ahi chu a seidoh phat in amaho aha kichat behsehun, epi na bolkhel hitam atiuvin ahi.
11 Ulwandle lwaselulokhu luqubuka lusiya phambili ngamandla. Ngakho basebembuza bathi, “Senzeni kuwe ukuze ulwandle luthule singalimali na?”
Twikhanglen chu aha khoh cheh cheh phat chun amahon nanghi i-nalo uleng hiche Twikhanglen hi thip thei ding ham atiuvin ahi.
12 Waphendula wathi, “Ngiqukulani lingiphosele elwandle, luzathula. Ngiyazi ukuthi kungumlandu wami okwenze isiphepho esikhulu kangaka sehlela phezu kwenu.”
Hichun aman amaho koma chun keima hi nei dom sangun lang Twikhanglen'a hin neiseplut leu chun hichi twipi kinong hi tang tante “Ajeh chu hiche twipi kinong hi keijeh ahi” ati.
13 Kodwa amadoda azama ngamandla ukugwedlela emuva emhlabathini. Kodwa behluleka ngoba ulwandle lwaselusidla amahabula okudlula kuqala.
Ahijeng vang'in amahon ajo kham chanun kong chu leigo langa toldoh tei ding agongun ahinlah Twikhanglen kinong chu akhoh cheh jotan,
14 Khonapho basebekhala kuThixo bathi, “Oh, Thixo, ungasiyekeli sife ngoba sibulele indoda le. Ungasibeki umlandu wokubulala umuntu ongelacala, ngoba wena, Oh Thixo, wenzile njengokufisa kwakho.”
Hijeh chun amaho Jonah Pathen komma chun ataovun “Vo Pakai nei lungset unlang hichi pa chonset jeh'in nei sumang hihun chuleh heche pan thina ato jeh'in keiho mo neipehihbeh un, O Pakai nangin hichi mipa jeh'a hi hitobang thilse hi nasohsah ah bouve ti kahe tauve” atiuvin ahi.
15 Basebethatha uJona bamphosela olwandle, ulwandle lwase luthula ukugubhaza.
Hichun kongtol hon Jonah chu aman’un aselhahuva ahileh Twikhanglen kinong hoisetah chu athipchet jeng tan ahi.
16 Lokhu kwenza amadoda lawo amesabe kakhulu uThixo, asesenza umhlatshelo kuThixo enza izifungo kuye.
Kongtol ho chun Pakai thanei dan chu amudoh phatun akichalheh jingun pumgo thilto abolun kitepna anei tauvin ahi.
17 Kodwa uThixo waletha inhlanzi enkulukazi yamginya uJona, uJona wahlala phakathi kwenhlanzi insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu.
Hichun Pakaiyin Jonah val lut dingin nga lentah khat ana gongin hiti chun Jonah chu hiche ngapi sunga chun nithum le janthum atham tan ahi.
