Hemia nao from wanem fastaem mi traem ronwe i go long Tasis,+ from mi save se yu yu wan God we yu kaen mo yu gat sore, yu no save kros kwik, mo fasin blong yu blong lavem man oltaem i bigwan tumas,+ mo yu save jenisim tingting blong yu, yu no panisim ol man.
3 O Jehova, naoia plis yu tekemaot laef* blong mi, from i moa gud mi ded i bitim we mi laef.”+
4 Jehova i askem se: “?I stret we yu yu kros tumas olsem?”
5 Ale Jona i goaot long taon ya mo i go sidaon long is saed blong taon ya. Hem i mekem wan selta blong hem long ples ya mo i sidaon aninit long selta ya blong luk se wanem bambae i hapen long taon ya.+
