(Yona 1:4) Mɛni Yona baafee yɛ he? Akɛni Yona sumɔɔɔ ni amlakui ni yɔɔ lɛlɛ lɛ mli lɛ awala aje amɛdɛŋ yɛ lɛ ehewɔ lɛ, ekɛɛ amɛ akɛ: “Nyɛwóa mi, ní nyɛshɛa mi nyɛfɔ̃a ŋshɔ lɛ mli, ni ŋshɔ lɛ aaaŋmɛ aha nyɛ.” (Yona 1:12) Ebɛ nɔ ni eeedamɔ nɔ esusu akɛ Yehowa baahere eyiwala kɛjɛ ŋshɔ lɛ mli, beni yɛ naagbee lɛ amlakui lɛ shɛ́ lɛ kɛjɛ lɛlɛ lɛ mli amɛfɔ̃ ŋshɔ lɛ mli lɛ.
