1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee yeroo lammaffaa gara Yoonaas dhufe:
Afei, Awurade asɛm baa Yona nkyɛn ne mprenu so sɛ,
2 “Gara Nanawwee magaalaa guddittii sanaa dhaqiitii ergaa ani sitti himu kana itti lallabi.”
“Kɔ Ninewe kuropɔn kɛseɛ no mu, na kɔpae mu ka asɛm a mede rema wo yi.”
3 Yoonaasis dubbii Waaqayyootiif ajajamee Nanawwee dhaqe. Yeroo sanatti Nanawween magaalaa akka malee guddoo turte; keessa baʼanii darbuufis guyyaa sadii fudhata ture.
Yona yɛɛ ɔsetie maa Awurade asɛm no, na ɔkɔɔ Ninewe. Na Ninewe yɛ kuropɔn titire a wɔde nnansa na ɛhunu hɔ nyinaa.
4 Yoonaas imala guyyaa tokkoo deemuudhaan magaalattiitti gale. Akkana jedhees lallabe: “Nanawween guyyaa afurtama keessatti ni garagalfamti.”
Ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, Yona hyɛnee kuropɔn no mu, na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ paee mu kaa sɛ, “Aka adaduanan na wɔadane Ninewe abutu.”
5 Warri Nanawwees Waaqatti amanan. Soomas labsanii hundi isaanii xinnaa fi guddaan uffata gaddaa uffatan.
Ninewefoɔ gyee Onyankopɔn diiɛ. Wɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛdi abuada, ɛfiri ɔkɛseɛ so kɔsi ɔketewa so, na wɔafirafira ayitoma.
6 Yommuu oduun kun mooticha Nanawwee gaʼetti inni teessoo isaa irraa kaʼee uffata mootii of irraa baase; wayyaa gaddaas uffatee daaraa keessa taaʼe.
Ɛberɛ a Ninewehene tee asɛm no, ɔsɔre firii nʼahennwa so, ɔworɔɔ nʼahenetadeɛ, Ɔfiraa ayitoma, na ɔtenaa mfuturo mu.
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.
Afei, ɔmaa wɔbɔɔ dawuro wɔ Ninewe sɛ, “Mmara a ɛfiri ɔhene ne nʼatitire hɔ nie: “Obiara, sɛ ɔyɛ onipa anaa aboa, anantwikuo anaa nnwankuo, mmfa hwee nka nʼano; mma ɔnnnidi anaa ɔnnom.
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.
Na mmom nnipa ne mmoa mfa ayitoma nkata wɔn ho. Obiara mfa anibereɛ nsu mfrɛ Onyankopɔn. Wɔn mfiri wɔn akwammɔne so, na wɔnnyae basabasayɛ.
9 Maaltu beeka? Tarii Waaqni gaabbee garaa nuu laafee dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sana nurraa deebisee, nuus badii oolla taʼaatii.”
Hwan na ɔnim? Ebia, Onyankopɔn bɛhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ, na watwe nʼabufuhyeɛ no a ɔnam so rebɛsɛe yɛn no asan.”
10 Waaqnis akka isaan waan hamaa irraa deebiʼan hojii isaanii arge; Waaqnis garaa laafeefii balaa isaanitti erguuf yaade sana isaanitti fiduu dhiise.
Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛdeɛ wɔyɛeɛ ne sɛdeɛ wɔsane firii wɔn akwammɔne ho no, ɔhunuu wɔn mmɔbɔ, na wansɛe wɔn sɛdeɛ ɔkaeɛ no.
