Yona 1
1 Awurade asɛm baa Amitai babarima Yona nkyɛn sɛ,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Yoonaas ilma Amitaayi dhufe:
2 “Kɔ kuropɔn kɛseɛ Ninewe mu na kɔka asɛmpa no tia wɔn sɛ wɔn atirimuɔdensɛm aforo abɛduru mʼanim.”
“Sababii hamminni ishee fuula koo dura dhufeef, gara Nanawwee magaalaa guddittii dhaqiitii isheedhaan mormuudhaan itti lallabi.”
3 Nanso, Yona dwane firii Awurade anim na ɔde nʼani kyerɛɛ Tarsis. Ɔkɔɔ Yopa, na ɛhɔ ɔkɔnyaa ɛhyɛn a ɛrekɔ Tarsis. Ɔtuaa ka kɔtenaa ɛhyɛn no mu, sɛ ɔrefiri Awurade anim akɔ Tarsis.
Yoonaas garuu Waaqayyo duraa baqatee Tarshiishitti qajeele. Innis Yoopheetti gad buʼee doonii gara Tarshiish deemu tokko argate. Erga gatii geejjibaa baasee booddee Waaqayyo duraa miliquuf jedhee doonii yaabbatee Tarshiishitti imale.
4 Nanso Awurade maa mframa kɛseɛ bi bɔɔ wɔ ɛpo no so; ɛmaa ahum tuiɛ a, anka ɛhyɛn no rebɛbɔ.
Waaqayyo bubbee jabaa tokko galaanatti erge; dambaliin akka malee jabaan tokko kaanaan dooniin sun gargar caccabuu gaʼe.
5 Ɛhyɛn no mufoɔ no nyinaa surooɛ na obiara su frɛɛ ne nyame. Wɔtotoo adwadeɛ a ɛwɔ ɛhyɛn no mu guguu ɛpo no mu sɛdeɛ ɛhyɛn no mu bɛyɛ herɛ. Nanso na Yona akɔhyɛ ɛhyɛn no ase baabi ada hatee.
Warri doonii sana oofan hundinuu akka malee sodaatanii tokkoon tokkoon isaanii waaqa isaaniitti iyyatan. Isaanis baʼaa xinneessuuf jedhanii doonii irraa feʼiisa galaanatti gad dadarbatan. Yoonaas garuu garaa doonii seenee ciisee achitti hirribni guddaan isa qabe.
6 Ɛna ɛhyɛn no so panin no kɔɔ ne nkyɛn kɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn na woada? Sɔre na frɛ wo nyame! Ebia, ɔbɛhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ, na yɛannwuwu.”
Ajajaan doonii sanaa gara isaa dhufee, “Ati akkam akkas rafuu dandeessa? Kaʼii waaqa kee waammadhu! Tarii inni nuu dhagaʼee nus duʼa oolla taʼaatii” jedheen.
7 Afei ɛhyɛn no mufoɔ no keka kyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Momma yɛmmɔ ntonto nhwehwɛ deɛ saa amanehunu yi nam ne so aba.” Wɔbɔɔ ntonto no na ɛbɔɔ Yona.
Warri doonii oofanis, “Kottaa nama balaa kana nutti fide beekuuf ixaa buufannaatii” waliin jedhan. Isaan ixaa buufannaan ixaan sun Yoonaas irra buʼe.
8 Enti wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Kyerɛ yɛn, hwan na wama saa ɔhaw yi nyinaa aba? Adwuma bɛn na woyɛ? Ɛhe na wo fire? Ɔman bɛn so na wofiri? Ɛhefoɔ ne wo nkurɔfoɔ?”
Kanaafuu isaan, “Mee nutti himi; namni balaa nutti dhufe kana hundaaf itti gaafatamu eenyu? Hojiin kee maali? Ati eessaa dhufte? Biyyi kee eessa? Ati saba kam keessaa dhalatte?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
9 Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Meyɛ Hebrini, na mesom Awurade, ɔsoro Onyankopɔn a, ɔbɔɔ ɛpo ne asase.”
Innis, “Ani Ibricha Waaqayyo, Waaqa isa samii, galaanaa fi lafa uume sana waaqeffatuu dha” jedhee deebise.
10 Yei bɔɔ wɔn hu, enti wɔbisaa Yona sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na woayɛ?” (Na wɔnim sɛ ɔredwane afiri Awurade nkyɛn, ɛfiri sɛ na waka saa akyerɛ wɔn dada).
Wanni kun isaan sodaachisnaan, “Ati maal goote?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Isaanis sababii inni duraanuu isaanitti himeef akka inni Waaqayyo duraa miliquuf baqachuutti jiru beekan.
11 Na ahum no kɔ so tu dendeenden ara. Enti wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ wo a ɛbɛma ahum yi ano abrɛ ase ama yɛn?”
Galaanni sunis ittuma caalchisee raafamaa dhufe. Kanaafuu isaan, “Nu amma galaana kana tasgabbeessuuf maal si gochuu qabna?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
12 Yona buaa wɔn sɛ, “Momma me so nto me ntwene ɛpo yi mu, na ano bɛdwo. Menim sɛ me enti na ahum kɛseɛ yi retu mo so.”
Innis, “Ol na fuudhaatii galaanatti na darbadhaa; ergasii galaanichi gab jedha. Ani akka dhaʼaan galaanaa hamaan kun sababii balleessaa kootiitiif dhufe nan beeka” jedhee deebise.
13 Mmarima no yɛɛ deɛ wɔbɛtumi biara sɛ wɔbɛhare ɛhyɛn no akɔ mpoano. Nanso, wɔantumi, ɛsiane sɛ na ɛpo so ahum no ano ayɛ den asene kane no.
Namoonni sun garuu qooda kanaa doonii sana gara qarqaraatti baasuuf waan dandaʼan hunda yaalan. Isaan garuu galaanni sun ittuma caalchisee raafamaa waan dhufeef baasuu hin dandeenye.
14 Afei wosu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Ao Awurade yɛsrɛ wo mma yɛn nwuwu sɛ yɛama ɔbarima yi ahwere ne nkwa enti. Mma yɛn nni fɔ wɔ ɔbarima yi mogya ho, ɛfiri sɛ, Ao Awurade wayɛ deɛ wo pɛ.”
Kana irratti isaan, “Yaa Waaqayyo, ati sababii lubbuu namicha kanaatiif jettee nu hin fixin. Yaa Waaqayyo ati waan akkuma feete hojjetteef yakka lubbuu nama balleessaa hin qabnee ajjeesuu nutti hin herregin” jedhanii gara Waaqayyootti iyyatan.
15 Afei, wɔmaa Yona so too no twenee ɛpo no mu, na ɛpo a na ɛrehuru soɔ no yɛɛ dinn.
Akkasiin Yoonaasin fuudhanii doonii irraa gad darbatan; galaanni raafamaa ture sunis gab jedhe.
16 Yei maa mmarima no suroo Awurade pa ara na wɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade, na wɔhyɛɛ no bɔ.
Kana irratti namoonni sun akka malee Waaqayyoon sodaatanii aarsaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan; wareegas wareeganiif.
17 Na Awurade maa apataa kɛseɛ bi bɛmenee Yona, na Yona daa apataa no yam nnansa, awia ne anadwo.
Waaqayyo garuu akka inni Yoonaasin liqimsuuf qurxummii guddaa tokko qopheesse; Yoonaasis guyyaa sadii fi halkan sadii garaa qurxummii sanaa keessa ture.
