Jona inaa vulika kOmuwa
1 Esiku limwe Omuwa okwa lombwele Jona yaAmittai.Inda kuNinive, oshilando shiyaka oshinene, u shi uvithile egeelo… 2 Okwa ti: “Inda kuNinive, oshilando shiyaka oshinene, u shi uvithile egeelo; ondi shi shi kutya aantu yasho aakaanakalunga.” 3 Ihe Jona okwa thikama, a ye Omuwa ontuku. Okwa yi kuJoppa e ta mono osikepa yu uka kuSpania. Okwa landa otekete nokwa yi noonakulonga mosikepa, opo ya thayile yu uka kuSpania, nkoka ta ka kala kokule nOmuwa. 4 Ihe Omuwa okwa tumu ombepo ondhigu mefuta, nomwa tukuluka oshikungulu oshinene sha hala okuteya po osikepa. 5 Aathayili oya li ya tila nokehe ngoka okwa kugile kalunga ke ekwatho. Nena oyu umbu mo ofulaha okukeelela oshiponga. Manga taye shi ningi, Jona okwa yi e ta lala meniinii lyosikepa nokwa li mokati koomposi.
6 Kapitiya gwosikepa okwe mu mono e ta ti kuye: “Oshike to kotha ashike? Penduka, u kugile kalunga koye ekwatho. Pamwe ote tu sile ohenda nota hupitha oomwenyo dhetu.”
7 Aathayili oya lombwelathana ya ti: “Natu umbeni oshihogololitho, opo tu mone ngoka e na ondjo nokwe tu tula momupya nguka.” Sho ye shi ningi, osha kwata Jona. 8 Onkee oya ti kuye: “Tu lombwela, olye e tu etithile omupya nguka. Ngoye oto ningi shike mpano? Oto zi peni? Ngoye omukwashike koshigwana?”
9 Jona okwa yamukula: “Ongame Omuhebeli. Ohandi simaneke Omuwa, Kalunga komegulu, ngoka a shiti evi nefuta.” 10 Jona okwe ya hokololele wo kutya ota fadhuka po Omuwa.
Aathayili oya li ya sa uumbanda noye mu pula: “Omolwashike to pumbwa okufadhuka po ngeyi?” 11 Oshikungulu osha li sha lundalala ethimbo alihe. Onkee aathayili oye mu pula: “Otatu ku ningi ngiini, tu loteke oshikungulu?”
12 Jona okwa yamukula: “Umbilii ndje mefuta, notali loto. Ondi shi shi kutya ombedhi oyandje, sho mwa adhika koshikungulu shi thike mpa.”
13 Oonakulongamo oya kambadhala okufala osikepa komunkulo noya dhugu nomatha gawo agehe. Ihe oshikungulu osha dhenge noonkondo, noinaa vula okuhuma ko. 14 Onkee oya kugile Omuwa ya ti: “Omuwa, otatu ku galikana, ino tu ethela meyonuko omolwomwenyo gwomulumentu nguka. Omuwa, owa longo ngaashi wa dhiladhila.” 15 Nena oya kutha Jona e taye mu umbile mefuta, olyo nolya loto nziya. 16 Shika osha halutha aathayili unene okutila Omuwa, noye mu yambele omayambo noyu uvaneke oku mu longela.
17 Palombwelo lyOmuwa, ohi onene oya nina po Jona, nokwa kala mela lyayo omasiku gatatu, uusiku nomutenya.
