Jonase 3_1 - Contemporary Southern Sotho Bible 2024

Jonase o llela batho ba Ninive

¹ Yaba lentswe la Jehova le tla ho Jonase la bobedi, la re:

² Ema, o ye Ninive, motse o moholo, o bolele molaetsa oo ke o laelang wona.

³ Jonase a ema ’me a ea Ninive, ho ea ka lentsoe la Jehova. Mme Ninive e ne e le motse o moholo haholo, o ka nkang leeto la matsatsi a mararo.

⁴ Jonase a qala ho kena motseng, leeto la letsatsi, a howa, a re: Ho setse matsatsi a mashome a mane, mme Ninive o tla ribeha.

⁵ Jwale batho ba Ninive ba dumela ho Modimo, mme ba phatlalatsa letsatsi la ho itima dijo, ba apara diaparo tsa bofifi, ho qala ka e moholo ho isa ho e monyenyane hara bona.

⁶ Lentsoe le ile la fihla ho morena oa Ninive, ’me a tloha teroneng ea hae, ’me a hlobola seaparo sa hae sa ka ntle, a ikoahela ka lesela la mokotla ’me a lula fatše moloreng.

⁷ A etsa hore ho tsebahale, ’me a tsebahatsa Ninive ka taelo ea morena le matona a hae, a re: “Ho se ke ha e-ba le motho leha e le ofe kapa phoofolo e ruuoang, kapa likhomo kapa linku tse latsoang letho; ba se ke ba fula, ba se ke ba nwa metsi.

⁸ Empa motho le phoofolo a ba apare diaparo tsa bofifi, mme ba howeletse ho Modimo ka matla; ee, a e mong le e mong a furalle tsela ea hae e fosahetseng le pefong e matsohong a bona.

⁹ Ke mang ea ka tsebang hore na Modimo o tla baka ’me a bake ’me a sokolohe khalefong ea hae, e le hore re se ke ra timela?

¹⁰ Mme Modimo a bona mesebetsi ya bona, hore ba furaletse tsela ya bona e fosahetseng; mme Modimo a bakela bobe boo o neng o itse o tla ba etsa ka bona; mme ha a ka a e etsa.
