< Siona 1 >
1 Ko eni, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siona, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmitai, ʻo pehē,
Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yona, Amitai ƒe vi la be,
2 “Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ki Ninive, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, pea ke kalanga ki ai; he kuo aʻu hake ki hoku ʻao ʻa ʻenau angahala.”
“Yi ɖe Ninive, du gã la me, eye nàgblɔ nya ɖi ɖe wo ŋu, elabena woƒe ŋutasẽse va ɖo gbɔnye.”
3 Ka naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Siona ke hola ki Tasisi mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ne ʻalu hifo ai ki Sopa; pea naʻa ne ʻilo ai ʻae vaka, naʻe te u folau ki Tasisi; ko ia naʻa ne ʻatu ki ai ʻae totongi, ʻo ne ʻalu ai, ko ʻene ʻalu mo kinautolu ki Tasisi, mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Ke nya sia na Yona si le Yehowa nu heɖo ta Tarsis. Eyi ƒutadu aɖe si woyɔna be Yopa la me, eye esi wòyi ɖe melidzeƒe si le afi ma la, ekpɔ meli aɖe si nɔ mɔ dzem yina ɖe Tarsis. Exe ʋuɖofe enumake, eye wòɖo ʋu la hege ɖe meli la ƒe globoeƒe aɖe be yeasi le Yehowa gbɔ.
4 Ka naʻe tuku atu ʻe Sihova ʻae fuʻu matangi ki he tahi, pea naʻe havili ʻaupito ʻi he vaha, pea ko ia naʻe hangē ka maumau ʻae vaka.
Esi ʋu la dze mɔ yina sẽe ko la, Yehowa dɔ yaƒoƒo sesẽ aɖe ɖa si na be ahom dziŋɔ aɖe tu. Meli la ʋuʋu heyeheye henɔ didim be yeanyrɔ.
5 Pea naʻe toki manavahē ʻae kau vaka, pea naʻe taki taha tangi ki hono ʻotua, pea naʻe tolo kotoa pē ʻae meʻa ʻi he vaka, koeʻuhi ke maʻamaʻa. Ka kuo ʻalu hifo ʻa Siona ki he kaokao ʻoe vaka; pea naʻa ne tokoto, ʻo mohe maʻu.
Ŋɔdzi kple vɔvɔ̃ gã aɖe lé ʋukulawo, eye wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nɔ eƒe mawu yɔm kple ɣli, eye wotsɔ agba si wodo na meli la ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu la me be meli la nazu wodzoe vie. Esi nu siawo katã nɔ edzi yim la, Yona ya nɔ alɔ̃ dɔm dzidzemetɔe le afi si wòbe ɖo.
6 Ko ia ne haʻu ai kiate ia ʻae ʻeiki vaka ʻo ne pehēange kiate ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo hoʻo pehē, ʻa koe ʻoku mohe? Tuʻu hake, ui ki ho ʻOtua ʻoʻou, heiʻilo ʻe manatuʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau mate.”
Meli la ƒe amegã yi ɖe afi si wònɔ la, eye wòdo ɣli ɖe eta be, “Nu ka! Alɔ̃ dɔm wò ya nèle le ɣeyiɣi sia mea? Tso kaba nàyɔ wò mawu, ɖewohĩ akpɔ nublanui na mí tso ahom la me!”
7 Pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki ʻiate kinautolu, “Ko eni ke tau fai ha talotalo, koeʻuhi ke tau ʻilo pe ko hai ia kuo hoko ai ʻae kovi ni kiate kitautolu.” Pea naʻa nau talotalo, pea totonu ʻae talotalo kia Siona.
Azɔ melikulawo gblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Miva, mina míadzidze nu, akpɔe ɖa be ame kae na dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia va mía dzi mahã.” Ale wodzidze nu, eye wòdze Yona dzi.
8 Pea naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, fakahā mai pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa kuo hoko ai ʻae kovi ni kiate kitautolu; Ko e hā hoʻo ngāue ʻaʻau? Pea kuo ke haʻu koe mei fē? Ko fē ʻia ho fonua? Pea ʻoku ke ʻoe kakai fē?”
Ale wo katã wobia gbee zi ɖeka be, “Nu ka nèwɔ, be nèhe ahom sia va mía dzi? Dɔ ka nèwɔna? Dukɔ ka me nètso? Gbe ka gblɔlae nènye?”
9 Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e tangata Hepelū au; pea ʻoku ou manavahē kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ʻaia kuo ne ngaohi ʻae tahi, pea mo e fonua mōmoa.”
Yona ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Hebritɔwoe menye, eye mesubɔa Yehowa, Dziƒo Mawu la, ame si wɔ atsiaƒu kple anyigba.”
10 Pea naʻe toki tō ai ʻae manavahē lahi ki he kau tangata, mo nau pehē kiate ia. “Ko e hā kuo ke fai ai ʻae meʻa ni?” He naʻe ʻilo ʻe he kau tangata ʻa ʻene hola mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, he naʻa ne fakahā ia kiate kinautolu.
Nya sia sese na wovɔ̃, eye wobiae be, “Nu ka nèwɔ?” Elabena ameawo nya be ɖe wònɔ sisim le Yehowa nu, elabena egblɔe na wo do ŋgɔ.
11 Ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “Ko e hā te mau fai kiate koe, koeʻuhi kae laolao ʻae tahi kiate kitautolu?” He naʻe hou ʻae tahi, pea havili lahi.
Ƒutsotsoeawo gale agbo dzem ɖe edzi, eya ta wobiae be, “Nu ka míawɔ wò be ƒu la nadze akɔ anyi?”
12 Pea ne pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou hiki hake au, pea lī au ki tahi; ko ia ia ʻe laolao ai ʻae tahi kiate kimoutolu: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ko au pe ia kuo hoko ai ʻae fuʻu havili ni kiate kimoutolu.”
Yona gblɔ na wo be, “Mikɔm ƒu gbe ɖe ƒua me ekema ahom la nu atso. Elabena menya be tanye ahom la le tutum ɖo.”
13 Ka naʻe fekeli mālohi ʻae kau tangata koeʻuhi ke nau lava ki ʻuta: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai: he naʻe hou ʻae tahi, pea havili, pea tokai kiate kinautolu.
Ʋukulawo dze agbagba be woaku ʋu la ava gota, gake gbeɖe; womete ŋui o, elabena ƒutsotsoeawo gadze agbo ɖe edzi wu tsã.
14 Ko ia naʻa nau tangi ai kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa mau mate, koeʻuhi ko e moʻui ʻae tangata ni; pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia: he ko koe, ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fai ʻe koe ʻa hoʻo faʻiteliha.”
Ale wodo gbe ɖa na Yehowa be, “O Yehowa, mègabia hlɔ̃ mi ɖe ame sia ƒe agbe ta o. Mègabu fɔ mí be míekɔ ʋu maɖifɔ ɖi o, elabena, O Yehowa, wòe wɔ nu si dze ŋuwò.”
15 Ko ia ne nau toʻo hake ʻa Siona, pea lī atu ia ki tahi: pea naʻe ngata ai leva ʻae hou ʻae tahi.
Ale wolé Yona, kɔe ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu la me, eye ƒu dzeagbo la dze akɔ anyi enumake.
16 Pea ne toki manavahē lahi ʻaupito ʻae kau tangata kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau fai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova, mo nau fai ʻae ngaahi fuakava.
Nu si dzɔ la na be ʋua me nɔlawo katã vɔ̃ Yehowa ŋutɔ, eye wosa vɔ na Yehowa heɖe adzɔgbe nɛ.
17 Ka ko eni, naʻe teuteu ʻe Sihova ʻae fuʻu ika ke ne folo hifo ʻa Siona. Pea naʻe ʻaho tolu mo pō tolu ʻa Siona ʻi he kete ʻoe ika.
Yehowa dɔ ƒumelã gã aɖe wòmi Yona. Ale Yona nɔ ƒumelã la ƒe dɔ me ŋkeke etɔ̃ kple zã etɔ̃.
