Yona 2
1 Akiwa ndani ya tumbo la nyangumi, Yona alimwomba Bwana Mungu wake.
Ko ia naʻe lotu ai ʻa Siona kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua mei he kete ʻoe ika.
2 Akasema: “Katika shida yangu nalimwita Bwana, naye akanijibu. Kutoka kina cha kaburi niliomba msaada, nawe ukasikiliza kilio changu. (Sheol h7585)
ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻaku tangi ʻi heʻeku mamahi kia Sihova, naʻa ne ongoʻi au; naʻaku tangi mei he loto faʻitoka, pea naʻa ke ongoʻi hoku leʻo. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ulinitupa kwenye kilindi, ndani kabisa ya moyo wa bahari, mikondo ya maji ilinizunguka, mawimbi yako yote na viwimbi vilipita juu yangu.
He ko koe naʻa ke lī au ki he loloto, ki loto tahi; naʻaku ʻi he loto moana: pea naʻe melemo hifo au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngalu pea mo hoʻo ngaahi peau.
4 Nikasema, ‘Nimefukuziwa mbali na uso wako, hata hivyo nitatazama tena kuelekea Hekalu lako takatifu.’
Ko ia ne u pehē ai, ‘kuo liʻaki atu au mei ho ʻao; ka neongo ia, te u toe sio ki ho fale tapu māʻoniʻoni.’
5 Maji yaliyonimeza yalinitisha, kilindi kilinizunguka; mwani ulijisokota kichwani pangu.
Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi vai, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki hoku laumālie: naʻe kāpui takatakai au ʻe he loloto, naʻe takatakai ʻae limu ʻi hoku ʻulu.
6 Nilizama chini sana mpaka pande za mwisho za milima, makomeo ya hiyo nchi yalinifungia hata milele. Lakini uliuleta uhai wangu kutoka shimoni, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu.
Naʻaku ʻalu hifo ki he tefito ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga: pea naʻe takatakai au ʻe he mālohi ʻoe māmani ʻo taʻengata; ka neongo ia, kuo ke ʻomi ʻa ʻeku moʻui mei he fakaʻauha, ʻe Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.
7 “Wakati uhai wangu ulipokuwa unatoka, nilikukumbuka wewe, Bwana, nayo maombi yangu yalikufikia wewe, katika Hekalu lako takatifu.
“ʻI heʻene pongia hoku laumālie ʻiate au naʻaku manatu kia Sihova; pea naʻe ʻaʻau atu kiate koe ʻa ʻeku kole, ki ho ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
8 “Wale watu wanaongʼangʼana na sanamu zisizofaa hupoteza neema ile ambayo ingekuwa yao.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi vaʻinga loi, ʻoku nau siʻaki pe ʻekinautolu ʻa honau ʻalo ʻofeina.
9 Lakini mimi, kwa wimbo wa shukrani, nitakutolea dhabihu. Lile nililowekea nadhiri nitalitimiza. Wokovu watoka kwa Bwana.”
Ka ko au te u feilaulau ʻaki kiate koe ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakafetaʻi; te u fai ʻaia kuo u fuakava ki ai. ʻOku meia Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui.”
10 Basi Bwana akamwamuru yule nyangumi, naye akamtapika Yona katika nchi kavu.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ki he ika, pea naʻa ne puʻaki atu ʻa Siona ki he fonua mōmoa.
