Yona 1:1-17
1 Yehowa de Amitai binyumu Yona* ke:
2 “Tee si nɛ o ya ma ngua nɛ ji Nineve ɔ mi, nɛ o ya jaje kojomi sɛ gbi kɛ si lɛ, ejakaa a yiwutso ní peepee ɔ ba su ye hɛ mi.”
3 Se Yona te si nɛ e tu fo kɛ je Yehowa hɛ mi kɛ ho Tarshish ya; e kple kɛ ho Yopa ya nɛ e ya na lɛ ko nɛ yaa Tarshish. Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, e wo hiɔ, nɛ e sɛ lɛ ɔ mi konɛ e kɛ ni ɔmɛ nɛ ho Tarshish ya, nɛ́ e je Yehowa hɛ mi.
4 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yehowa ha nɛ kɔɔhiɔ nɛ nya wa ko fia ngɛ wo ɔ nɔ, kɔɔhiɔ nɛ ɔ nya wa ngɛ wo ɔ nɔ hluu po kaa lɛ ɔ miɔ nɛ e maa ywia.
5 Lɛ hluili ɔmɛ ye gbeye wawɛɛ, nɛ a ti nɔ fɛɛ nɔ bɔni e mawu tsɛmi kaa e ba ye bua lɛ. Nɛ a bɔni ní ɔmɛ jemi kɛ wo wo ɔ mi konɛ lɛ ɔ nɛ pee huyɛhuyɛ. Se Yona lɛɛ e kple kɛ ho lɛ* ɔ sisi ya tɔɔ, nɛ e ya hwɔ si, nɛ e nɔ mahe mi vii.
6 Lɛ hluili ɔmɛ a nɔkɔtɔma a ba e ngɔ ba de lɛ ke: “O ngɛ mahe hwɔe lo? Tee si nɛ o tsɛ o mawu ɔ! Eko ɔ, anɔkuale Mawu ɔ maa na wɔ mɔbɔ nɛ wa hɛ mi be kpatae.”
7 Kɛkɛ nɛ a de a sibi ke: “Nyɛɛ ba, nyɛ ha nɛ waa fɔ sɔ kɛ na nɔ nɛ ha nɛ amanehlu nɛ ɔ ba a.” Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, a fɔ sɔ, nɛ sɔ ɔ ya nɔ Yona nɔ.
8 A de lɛ ke: Wa kpa mo pɛɛ, mo de wɔ, mɛnɔ lɛ ha nɛ haomi nɛ ɔ ba wa nɔ? Mɛni ní tsumi lɛ o tsuɔ, nɛ jije o je? Mɛni ma nɔ lɛ o je, nɛ jije no ji mo?”
9 E de mɛ ke: “Hebrino ji mi, nɛ i jaa Yehowa Mawu nɛ ngɛ hiɔwe ɔ, nɔ nɛ e pee wo ɔ kɛ zugba a.”*
10 Enɛ ɔ ha nɛ nyumu ɔmɛ ye gbeye wawɛɛ pe kekle ɔ po, nɛ a bi lɛ ke: “Mɛni o pee nɛ ɔ?” (Nyumu ɔmɛ ba le kaa e ngɛ fo tue kɛ je Yehowa hɛ mi, ejakaa e de mɛ.)
11 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, a bi lɛ ke: “Mɛni waa pee mo konɛ wo ɔ he nɛ jɔ ha wɔ?” Ejakaa wo nɔ kɔɔhiɔ ɔ nya ngɛ wae wawɛɛ pe kekle ɔ.
12 E de mɛ ke: “ Nyɛ wo ye nɔ, nɛ nyɛ sake mi ngɔ fɔ wo ɔ mi, kɛkɛ wo ɔ he maa jɔ ha nyɛ; ejakaa i le kaa ye he je nɛ wo nɔ kɔɔhiɔ nɛ nya wa nɛ ɔ ba nyɛ nɔ ɔ nɛ.”
13 Se, nyumu ɔmɛ bɔ mɔde nɛ a hlui lɛ ɔ kɛ a he wami tsuo* kaa a maa su kpo lo, se a nyɛ we, ejakaa wo nɔ kɔɔhiɔ ɔ nya ngɛ wae kɛ ngɛ mɛ woe wawɛɛ.
14 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, a kpa ngmlaa kɛ tsɛ Yehowa nɛ a de ke: Oo Yehowa, wa kpa mo pɛɛ, ko ha nɛ wa hɛ mi nɛ kpata ngɛ nyumu nɛ ɔ he je!* Koo gbla wa tue ngɛ nɔ ko nɛ sane ko be e he ɔ muɔ he, ejakaa mo Yehowa, nɔ́ nɛ sa o hɛ mi lɛ o peeɔ.”
15 Kɛkɛ nɛ a wo Yona nɔ, nɛ a sake lɛ kɛ fɔ wo ɔ mi; nɛ wo ɔ he jɔ dii.
16 Enɛ ɔ ha nɛ nyumu ɔmɛ ye Yehowa gbeye wawɛɛ, nɛ a sã afɔle kɛ ha Yehowa nɛ a kã lɛ kita.
17 Yehowa fã nɛ lo agbo ko ba mi Yona, nɛ Yona hi lo ɔ muklii mi nyɔ kɛ pia nyɔ kɛ pia ligbi etɛ.
