< UJona 2 >

1 UJona wasekhuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakhe esemathunjini enhlanzi,
Kane Jona ne ni ei rech, nolamo Jehova Nyasaye.
2 wathi: Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngakhala eNkosini, yangiphendula; ngisesiswini sengcwaba ngamemeza, wena walizwa ilizwi lami. (Sheol h7585)
Nowacho niya, “Ei masichena naluongo Jehova Nyasaye kendo nodwoka. Ei bur matut ne aywak mondo ikonya mane iwinjo ywakna. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ngoba wangiphosela enzikini, enhliziyweni yezinlwandle, lempophoma zangihanqa; wonke amagagasi akho lamavinqo akho kwedlula phezu kwami.
Niluta kuma tut mar nam, nyaka kama tutne ogikie piny, mi ataro noketa diere; kendo apaka kod ahiti madongo duto nokadho kuoma.
4 Ngasengisithi mina: Ngixotshiwe phambi kobuso bakho; kanti ngizabuya ngikhangele ngasethempelini lakho elingcwele.
Ne awacho ni, ‘Oseriemba e wangʼi; to kata kamano, pod abiro siko ka angʼiyo hekalu mari maler.’
5 Amanzi angihanqile kuze kube semphefumulweni; inziki ingizingelezele; imihlanga yathandela ikhanda lami.
Pi mane olwora nobwoga kendo kude mag nam bende noima kendo buya mag nam nogajore e wiya.
6 Ngehlela ezisekelweni zezintaba; umhlaba, imigoqo yawo yangihanqa laphakade; kanti wenyuse impilo yami emgodini, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami.
Nalutora nyaka e tiend gode mag nam kendo piny nouma chuth nyaka chiengʼ. To nigola oko kangima e bur matut, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasacha.
7 Lapho umphefumulo wami uphela amandla phakathi kwami ngakhumbula iNkosi; lomkhuleko wami wafika kuwe, ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
“Ka chunya ne dwaro aa ne apari Jehova Nyasaye, kendo lemona nochopo nyaka e hekalu mari maler.
8 Labo abagcina amanga ayize batshiya umusa wabo.
“Joma otwere kalamo nyiseche manono, jwangʼo ngʼwono mado bedo margi.
9 Kodwa mina ngizakwenza umhlatshelo kuwe ngelizwi lokubonga, ngikhokhe lokho engikufungileyo; usindiso ngolweNkosi.
An to napaki kod wend goyo erokamano mi natimni misango. Gima asesingora nachop kare nikech warruok wuok kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
10 INkosi yasikhuluma kuyo inhlanzi, yasimhlanza uJona emhlabathini owomileyo.
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi rech mi rechno nongʼogo Jona oko e dho wath kama otwo.
