Yona Mʼmadzi Ozama
Ali m'kati mwa nsomba Yona apemphera ngati munthu womira, udzu wa m'nyanja utamuzungulira mutu ndipo zipata za dziko lapansi zitatsekedwa kumbuyo kwake, akuyamika Atate wathu pokweza moyo wake kuchokera m'dzenje. Alumbira kukwaniritsa zimene analonjeza, ndipo nsomba imulavulira pamtunda.
2 1Ndipo Yona anapemphera kwa Atate wathu ali mʼkati mwa nsomba, nati: 2Mʼmasautso anga ndinaitana Atate wanga, ndipo Iye anandiyankha; mʼmimba mwa manda ndinafuulira thandizo, ndipo Inu munamva liu langa. 3Inu munandiponya mʼkuzama, mʼkati mwa nyanja, ndipo madzi okokoma anandizinga; mafunde anu onse ndi madzi anu akuluakulu anadutsa pamwamba panga. 4Ndipo ndinati, ‘Ndathamangitsidwa pamaso panu; komabe ndidzayangʼananso ku kachisi wanu woyera.’ 5Madzi anandizinga mpaka pa imfa; kuzama kunandizungulira; udzu wa mʼnyanja unazingidwa mozungulira mutu wanga. 6Ndinamira mpaka ku mizu ya mapiri; dziko linanditsekera zipata zake kumbuyo kwanga mpaka muyaya. Koma Inu munakweza moyo wanga kuchoka mʼdzenje, Atate wanga. 7Pamene moyo wanga unkatha mwa ine, ndinakumbukira Atate wanga, ndipo pemphero langa linafika kwa Inu, ku kachisi wanu woyera. 8Iwo amene amamatirira mafano achabechabe amafulatira chikondi chimene chikanakhala chawo. 9Koma ine ndidzapereka nsembe kwa Inu ndi mau oyamika; ndidzakwaniritsa malumbiro anga onse. Chipulumutso ndi cha Atate wathu!
10Ndipo Atate wathu analankhula ndi nsomba, ndipo inasanza Yona pa mtunda wowuma.
