Yona 2

¹Yona ali mʼmimba mwa chinsomba chija anapemphera kwa Yehova Mulungu wake.

²Iye anati: “Pamene ndinali mʼmavuto anga ndinayitana Yehova, ndipo Iye anandiyankha. Ndili ku dziko la anthu akufa ndinapempha thandizo, ndipo Inu munamva kulira kwanga.

³Munandiponya mʼnyanja yozama, mʼkati mwenimweni mwa nyanja, ndipo madzi oyenda anandizungulira; mafunde anu onse ndi mkokomo wake zinandimiza.

⁴Ndinati, ‘Ine ndachotsedwa pamaso panu; komabe ndidzayangʼananso ku Nyumba yanu yopatulika.’

⁵Madzi wondimiza anandichititsa mantha, nyanja yozama inandizungulira; udzu wa mʼmadzi zinakuta mutu wanga.

⁶Ndinatsikira kunsi ndithu, mʼtsinde mwa mapiri; mipiringidzo ya dziko inanditsekereza kosatha. Koma Inu munatulutsa moyo wanga mʼmandamo, Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga.

⁷“Pamene moyo wanga umachoka mwa ine, ine ndinakumbukira Inu Yehova, ndipo pemphero langa linafika kwa inu, ku Nyumba yanu yopatulika.

⁸“Iwo amene amagwiritsitsa mafano achabechabe amataya chisomo chawo.

⁹Koma ine ndidzapereka kwa Inu nsembe ndikuyimba nyimbo yamayamiko. Chimene ndinalonjeza ndidzachikwaniritsa. Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova.”

¹⁰Ndipo Yehova analamula chinsomba chija, ndipo chinakamusanza Yonayo mʼmbali mwa nyanja.
