Jonasi 2:1-10
2 Cwale Jonasi alapela ku Jehova Mulimu wahae inzaa li mwa mba ya tapi,+
2 mi ali:
“Hane nili mwa ziyezi, neniitilelezi ku Jehova, mi anialaba.+
Hane nili mwa buliba* bwa Libita,* nenikupile tuso.+
Neuutwile linzwi laka.
3 Haneu ninepezi mwa buliba, fa lilaho la liwate,Mezi aabuba animiza.+
Mandinda ahao kaufela amaata anikukisa.+
4 Mi nali: ‘Nikukiselizwe kwahule ni pata yahao!
Nikakona cwañi hape kutalima tempele yahao yekenile?’
5 Mezi naaniapesize, mi bupilo bwaka nebuli mwa kozi;+Mezi a liwate anikwahela.
Luyuya lwaitateza kwa toho yaka.
6 Nenitibile kwatasaa malundu.
Minyako ya lifasi nei nikwalela kwatasi kamita.
Kono wena Jehova Mulimu waka, neupilisize bupilo bwaka, wanizwisa mwa mukoti.+
7 Bupilo* bwaka hane bufukuzeha, nenihupuzi Jehova.+
Cwale tapelo yaka yataha ku wena, mwa tempele yahao yekenile.+
8 Babalatelela milimu ya maswaniso yesina tuso bafulalela yabafa lilato lelisa feli.*
9 Kono haili na, nika kulumbeka, mi nika kuezeza matabelo.
Nikalifa zeniitamile.+
Jehova ki yena yapilisa.”+
10 Hamulaho wa nako, Jehova alaela tapi, mi yatazeza Jonasi fa likamba.
