Pemphero la Yona
1 Yona ali mʼmimba mwa chinsomba chija anapemphera kwa Yehova Mulungu wake.
2 Iye anati:
“Pamene ndinali mʼmavuto anga ndinayitana Yehova,
ndipo Iye anandiyankha.
Ndili ku dziko la anthu akufa ndinapempha thandizo,
ndipo Inu munamva kulira kwanga.
3 Munandiponya mʼnyanja yozama,
mʼkati mwenimweni mwa nyanja,
ndipo madzi oyenda anandizungulira;
mafunde anu onse ndi mkokomo wake
zinandimiza.
4 Ndinati, ‘Ine ndachotsedwa
pamaso panu;
komabe ndidzayangʼananso
ku Nyumba yanu yopatulika.’
5 Madzi wondimiza anandichititsa mantha,
nyanja yozama inandizungulira;
udzu wa mʼmadzi zinakuta mutu wanga.
6 Ndinatsikira 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.
9 Koma ine ndidzapereka kwa Inu nsembe
ndikuyimba nyimbo yamayamiko.
Chimene ndinalonjeza ndidzachikwaniritsa.
Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova.”
10 Ndipo Yehova analamula chinsomba chija, ndipo chinakamusanza Yonayo mʼmbali mwa nyanja.
