Yona 4:1-11
4 Kadi bualu ebu buakatonda Yona bikole menemene, yeye wakafiika munda bikole.
2 Nunku yeye wakasambila Yehowa ne: “Akaah! Yehowa wetu, mpindieu, ki mbualu ebu bumvua ngelela meji pamvua mu buloba buetu anyi? Ke bualu kayi musangu wa kumpala, mvua mukebe kunyema bua kuya ku Tâshishi;+ bualu mvua mumanye ne: wewe udi Nzambi utu uditeka pa muaba wa bakuabu* ne udi ne luse, utu kayi ukuata tshiji lukasa ne udi muwule tente ne dinanga dia lulamatu,+ eu utu umvua bibi bua dikenga.
3 Mpindieu, Yehowa, umbusha koku muoyo* wanyi, bualu mbimpe meme kufua pamutu pa kushala ne muoyo.”+
4 Yehowa wakebeja ne: “Mbimpe wewe kufiika munda nunku anyi?”
5 Pashishe, Yona wakapatuka mu tshimenga, kusombaye ku est kua tshimenga. Kudienzelaye kaba ka kueyema muaba au, kusombaye mu dileji diaku bua kumona tshivua mua kufikila tshimenga.+
6 Pashishe, Yehowa Nzambi wakamenesha muonji wa tshilowalowa* bua ulambe pa mutu pa Yona, bua kumupesha dileji bua mutu wende ne bua kupepeja lutatu luende. Nunku, Yona wakasanka bikole bua muonji wa tshilowalowa.
7 Kadi Nzambi mulelela wakatuma tshishi dituku diakalonda patshiatshia, tshiotshi kudia muonji wa tshilowalowa, ne muonji wakafubidila.
8 Pakatuadija munya kuosha, Nzambi wakatuma kabidi lupepele lua luya lukole lufumina ku est, ne munya wakuosha Yona mu mutu, yeye wakapungila. Wakatungunuka ne kulomba bua kufua,* ne wakatungunuka ne kuamba ne: “Mbimpe meme kufua pamutu pa kushala ne muoyo.”+
9 Nzambi wakebeja Yona ne: “Mbimpe wewe kufiika munda nunku bua muonji wa tshilowalowa anyi?”+
Ke yeye kuandamuna ne: “Mbikumbane bua meme kufiika munda, kufiika munda bikole nkeba ne kufua.”
10 Kadi Yehowa wakamba ne: “Udi unyingalala bua muonji wa tshilowalowa uuvua kuyi muenzele mudimu anyi mukoleshe; wowu uvua mukole mu butuku bumue ne mufue mu butuku bumue.
11 Tshiena panyi ne bua kunyingalala bua Niniwe, tshimenga tshinene,+ mudi bantu bapite pa binunu 120 badi kabayi bamanye nansha mua kutapulula tshidi tshimpe ne tshidi tshibi,* kabidi ne nyama yabu ya bungi+ anyi?”
