4 Nanso Yona ani annye asɛm no ho koraa, na ne bo fuwii yiye. 2 Enti ɔbɔɔ Yehowa mpae sɛ: “Ao, Yehowa, ɛnyɛ asɛm a mewɔ m’asaase so no mekae no ara na ɛda hɔ yi? Ɛno nti na miguanee sɛ merekɔ Tarsis no,+ efisɛ minim sɛ woyɛ Onyankopɔn a wowɔ ayamhyehye* ne mmɔborɔhunu, wo bo mfuw ntɛm, wo dɔ a enni huammɔ nni ano,+ na ɛhaw wo sɛ wobɛma amanehunu aba. 3 Afei Yehowa, mesrɛ wo, gye me nkwa* fi me nsam, na eye sɛ mewu sen sɛ mɛtena ase.”+
4 Na Yehowa bisaa no sɛ: “Enti wo bo afuw denneennen yi, eye?”
5 Ɛnna Yona fii kurow no mu kɔɔ apuei fam baabi kɔtenaa hɔ, na ɔbɔɔ apata* bi tenaa ne nwini ase sɛ ɔretwɛn ahwɛ nea ɛbɛto kurow no.+ 6 Na Yehowa Nyankopɔn maa kɔntoa* bi fifi kataa Yona so, na onyaa onwini ma egyee no fii n’ahoyeraw mu. Kɔntoa yi nti, Yona ani gyei papaapa.
7 Nanso ade kyee a anim retetew no, nokware Nyankopɔn no maa ɔsã bɛwee kɔntoa no, na ewui. 8 Bere a owia puei no, Onyankopɔn maa apuei mframa a emu yɛ hyew bɔe, na owia hyee Yona apampam ma ɔyɛɛ mmerɛw. Afei ɔsrɛe ara sɛ onwu,* na ɔka sii so sɛ: “Eye sɛ mewu sen sɛ mɛtena ase.”+
9 Ɛnna Onyankopɔn bisaa Yona sɛ: “Wohwɛ a eye sɛ kɔntoa yi nti, wo bo fuw denneennen saa?”+
Obuae sɛ: “Eye sɛ me bo afuw. Me bo afuw ara ma minyae a anka mawu.” 10 Ɛnna Yehowa kae sɛ: “Wo de, kɔntoa yi mpo asɛm haw wo. Nanso woammrɛ ho, na ɛnyɛ wo na woma enyinii. Efifii anadwo baako, na ewui anadwo baako. 11 Na me de, Niniwe kurow kɛse+ a emu nnipa boro 120,000 a wonnim papa ne bɔne,* ɛne wɔn mmoa bebrebe yi asɛm nhaw me anaa?”+
