Yoonaas 3
1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee yeroo lammaffaa gara Yoonaas dhufe:
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJona ngokwesibili, lisithi:
2 “Gara Nanawwee magaalaa guddittii sanaa dhaqiitii ergaa ani sitti himu kana itti lallabi.”
Sukuma, uye eNineve, lowana umuzi omkhulu, utshumayele kuwo intshumayelo engikutshela yona.
3 Yoonaasis dubbii Waaqayyootiif ajajamee Nanawwee dhaqe. Yeroo sanatti Nanawween magaalaa akka malee guddoo turte; keessa baʼanii darbuufis guyyaa sadii fudhata ture.
UJona wasesukuma, waya eNineve, njengokwelizwi leNkosi. Phela iNineve yayingumuzi omkhulu kakhulu, uhambo lwezinsuku ezintathu.
4 Yoonaas imala guyyaa tokkoo deemuudhaan magaalattiitti gale. Akkana jedhees lallabe: “Nanawween guyyaa afurtama keessatti ni garagalfamti.”
UJona waseqala ukungena emzini, uhambo losuku olulodwa. Wamemeza, wathi: Kusesezinsuku ezingamatshumi amane, khona iNineve izagenqulwa.
5 Warri Nanawwees Waaqatti amanan. Soomas labsanii hundi isaanii xinnaa fi guddaan uffata gaddaa uffatan.
Abantu beNineve basebekholwa kuNkulunkulu, bamemezela ukuzila ukudla, bagqoka amasaka, kusukela komkhulu wabo kwaze kwaba komncinyane wabo.
6 Yommuu oduun kun mooticha Nanawwee gaʼetti inni teessoo isaa irraa kaʼee uffata mootii of irraa baase; wayyaa gaddaas uffatee daaraa keessa taaʼe.
Ngoba ilizwi lafinyelela enkosini yeNineve; yasisukuma esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi, yakhulula isembatho sayo kuyo, yazimbomboza ngesaka, yahlala emlotheni.
7 Ergasii akkana jedhee Nanawwee keessatti labsii labse: “Ajajni mootichaatii fi qondaaltota isaa kanaa dha: Akka namni yookaan horiin tokko iyyuu, karri loonii yookaan bushaayeen waan tokko iyyuu afaaniin qabu hin eeyyaminaa; akka isaan waa nyaatan yookaan dhugan hin eeyyaminaa.
Yasimemezela yathi kuyo iNineve ngomthetho wenkosi labakhulu bayo, isithi: Kakungabi lomuntu, kumbe inyamazana, inkomo kumbe imvu, okuzanambitha loba yini; kakungadli, kakunganathi amanzi.
8 Garuu namnis, horiinis wayyaa gaddaa haa uffatan. Namni hundinuu dafee Waaqa isaa haa waammatu. Isaan karaa isaanii hamaa sanaa fi yakka harki isaanii hojjetu irraa haa deebiʼan.
Kodwa kakuthi umuntu lenyamazana kwembeswe amasaka, bakhale kuNkulunkulu ngamandla, yebo, baphenduke, ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi, lodlakeleni olusezandleni zabo.
9 Maaltu beeka? Tarii Waaqni gaabbee garaa nuu laafee dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sana nurraa deebisee, nuus badii oolla taʼaatii.”
Ngubani owaziyo, uNkulunkulu angaphenduka azisole, aphenduke asuke kukuvutha kolaka lwakhe, ukuze singabhubhi.
10 Waaqnis akka isaan waan hamaa irraa deebiʼan hojii isaanii arge; Waaqnis garaa laafeefii balaa isaanitti erguuf yaade sana isaanitti fiduu dhiise.
UNkulunkulu wasebona imisebenzi yabo, ukuthi baphendukile endleleni yabo embi; uNkulunkulu wazisola ngobubi ayethe uzabenza kubo, akaze abenza.
