< Yoonaas 4 >
1 Wanni kun Yoonaasin baayʼee hin gammachiifne; inni ni aare.
Koma Yona anakhumudwa kwambiri ndipo anakwiya.
2 Akkana jedhees Waaqayyoon kadhate; “Yaa Waaqayyo wanni ani yeroo biyya koo turetti jedhe sun kanuma mitii? Wanni ani Tarshiishitti baqachuuf ariifadheefis kana. Ani akka ati Waaqa arjaa fi garaa laafessa, kan dafee hin aarree fi kan jaalalli isaa guddaa taʼe, Waaqa balaa buusuu irraa of qusatu taate nan beeka.
Iye anapemphera kwa Yehova kuti, “Inu Yehova, kodi izi si zimene ndinanena ndikanali kwathu? Nʼchifukwa chaketu ine ndinafulumira kuthawa kupita ku Tarisisi. Ine ndinadziwa kuti ndinu Mulungu wokoma mtima ndi wachifundo, wosakwiya msanga ndi wa chikondi chopanda malire, Mulungu amene mumaleka kubweretsa tsoka.
3 Yaa Waaqayyo jiraachuu mannaa duʼuu naaf wayyaatii amma lubbuu koo fudhadhu.”
Ndipo tsopano, Inu Yehova, ingondiphani basi, pakuti ndi bwino kuti ndife kupambana nʼkukhala ndi moyo.”
4 Waaqayyo garuu, “Ati aaruun kee sirriidhaa?” jedheen.
Koma Yehova anayankha kuti, “Kodi nʼkoyenera kuti iwe ukwiye?”
5 Yoonaasis magaalattii keessaa baʼee karaa baʼa magaalattiitiin taaʼe. Innis achitti daasii tokko ijaarratee gaaddisa isaa jala taaʼee waan magaalattiin taʼuuf jirtu arguuf eege.
Yona anatuluka mu mzindamo nakakhala pansi cha kummawa kwa mzindawo. Kumeneko anadzimangira chithando nakhala mʼmenemo mu mthunzi, kudikira kuti aone zimene zichitikire mzindawo.
6 Waaqayyo Waaqni biqiltuu qopheessee akka inni Yoonaasiin olitti guddatee mataa isaa irra gaaddisa buusee akka gaddi itti qabbanaaʼu godhe; Yoonaasis sababii biqiltuu sanaatiif baayʼee gammade.
Tsono Yehova Mulungu anameretsa msatsi ndi kuyikulitsa kuti ipereke mthunzi kwa Yona kuchotsa mavuto ake; ndipo Yona anasangalala kwambiri chifukwa cha msatsiyo.
7 Borumtaa bariis Waaqni biqiltuun sun akka goguuf raammoo isa nyaatu itti erge.
Koma tsiku linalo mmawa, Mulungu anabweretsa mbozi imene inadya msatsiyo ndipo inafota.
8 Yeroo biiftuun baatettis Waaqni bubbee baʼa biiftuu hoʼaa tokko erge; aduunis akka inni gaggabuuf mataa Yoonaasitti baate. Innis duʼuu barbaadee, “Jiraachuu mannaa duʼuu naaf wayya” jedhe.
Dzuwa litatuluka, Yehova anabweretsa mphepo yotentha yochokera kummawa, ndipo dzuwa linatentha pamutu pa Yona kotero analenguka nalo. Iye anangofuna atafa, ndipo anati, “Ndi bwino kuti ndife kupambana nʼkukhala ndi moyo.”
9 Waaqni garuu, “Ati waaʼee biqiltuu sanaatiif aaruun kee sirriidhaa?” jedheen. Yoonaasis, “Eeyyee. Ani hamma duʼaatti utuun aare iyyuu nan barbaada” jedhe.
Koma Mulungu anati kwa Yona, “Kodi nʼkoyenera kuti iwe ukwiye chifukwa cha msatsi?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Inde nʼkoyenera. Kukwiya kwanga nʼkofuna kufa nako.”
10 Waaqayyo garuu akkana jedhe; “Ati yoo biqiltuu kana eeguu yookaan akka inni guddatu gochuu baatte illee waaʼee isaa yaaddofteerta. Biqiltuun kun halkanuma tokkoon guddatee halkanuma tokkoon duʼe.
Koma Yehova anati, “Iwe ukumvera chisoni msatsiwo, ngakhale kuti sunawugwirire ntchito kapena kuwukulitsa. Inamera pa usiku umodzi ndipo inafanso pa usiku umodzi.
11 Nanawween garuu namoota bitaa fi mirga isaanii iyyuu gargar baasanii hin beekne kuma dhibba tokkoo fi kuma digdamaa fi loon hedduu qabdi. Ani magaalaa guddoo akkasiitiif yaaduu hin qabuu ree?”
Koma mu Ninive muli anthu opitirira 120,000 amene sadziwa kusiyanitsa kuti chabwino nʼchiti ndipo choyipa nʼchiti, mulinso ziweto zochuluka. Kodi sindiyenera kumvera chisoni mzinda waukulu ngati uwu?”
