< Jonah 1 >

1 This message from the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai:
A HIKI mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Iona, ke keiki a Amitai, i mai la,
2 ‘Arise, go to that great city, Nineveh, and preach against it; for their wickedness is known to me.’
E ku oe, e hele i Nineva, i kela kulanakauhale nui, e kahea aku ia ia; no ka mea, ua pii mai ko lakou hewa imua o'u.
3 But Jonah started to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
Aka, ku ae la o Iona e holo i Taresisa, mai ke alo aku o Iehova, a iho aku la i Iopa; a loaa ia ia ka moku e holo ana i Taresisa: a haawi aku ia i ka uku, a komo iho la ia iloko ona e holo pu me lakou i Taresisa mai ke alo aku o Iehova.
4 But the Lord made a furious wind blow over the sea, and there was such a great storm that the ship was in danger of breaking to pieces.
A hoouna mai o Iehova i ka makani nui ma ke kai, a he ino nui ma ke kai, a aneane nahaha ka moku.
5 The sailors were terrified and each cried for help to his own god. They threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to make the ship lighter. Meanwhile Jonah had gone down into the bottom of the ship and lay fast asleep.
Alaila, makau iho la na hooholo moku, a kahea aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona akua, a hoolei ka waiwai ma ka moku iloko o ke kai, e hoomama i ka moku no ia mau mea. A ua iho o Iona ilalo i ka aoao hope o ka moku, a moe iho, a ua pauhia i ka hiamoe.
6 The captain of the ship went and said to him, ‘How can you sleep? Call on your god; perhaps that god will think of us, so that we may not be lost.’
A hele aku ke kahu moku ia ia, a i aku la ia ia, Heaha kau, e ka mea hiamoe? e ala, e hea aku i kou Akua, malia paha e manao mai ke Akua ia kakou i make ole ai kakou.
7 The sailors said to one another, ‘Come, let us cast lots to discover on whose account this evil has come upon us.’ So they cast lots, and the lot indicated Jonah.
A olelo ae la lakou, kela mea keia mea i kona hoa, Ina kakou e hailona, i ike ai kakou i ka mea nona i hiki mai ai keia ino maluna o kakou. A hailona lakou, a lilo ka hailona no Iona.
8 So they said to him, ‘Are you to blame for this? Tell us, what is your business, and where do you come from? What is your country and to what people do you belong?’
Alaila, i aku la lakou ia ia, Ke noi aku nei makou, e hai mai oe ia makou i ka mea nona i hiki mai ai keia ino maluna o kakou? Heaha kau oihana? Mai hea mai oe? Owai kou aina? a no ka lahuikanaka hea oe?
9 He replied, ‘I am a Hebrew, and a worshipper of the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.’
I mai la oia ia lakou, He Hebera no wau; a ke makau nei au ia Iehova ke Akua o ka lani, nana i hana ke kai, a me ka aina maloo.
10 Then the men were greatly frightened and said to him, ‘What have you done?’ For they knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
Alaila, makau iho la na kanaka i ka makau nui, a i aku la ia ia, No ke aha la oe i hana mai ai i keia? No ka mea, ua ike na kanaka, ua holo ia mai ke alo aku o Iehova, no ka mea, ua hai mai kela ia lakou.
11 Then they said to him, ‘What should we do to you, to make the sea calm for us?’ For the sea grew more and more stormy.
Alaila, i aku la lakou ia ia, Heaha ka makou e hana aku ai ia oe, i malie iho ai ke kai no kakou? no ka mea, ua nui ae ka inoino o ke kai.
12 He said to them, ‘Take me up and throw me into the sea, and the sea will be calm for you, for I know that it is because of me this fierce storm has overtaken you.’
A i mai la kela ia lakou, E lawe oukou ia'u, a e kiola ia'u iloko o ke kai, a e malie iho ke kai ia oukou: no ka mea, ua ike au, no'u nei i hiki mai ai keia ino nui maluna o oukou.
13 But instead the men rowed hard to get back to the land; they could not, however, for the sea grew more and more stormy ahead.
A hoe ikaika aku la na kanaka e hoi hou i ka aina; aole lakou e hiki: no ka mea, ua nui ae ka inoino o ke kai ia lakou.
14 So they cried to the Lord and said, ‘We beg you, Lord, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t let us be guilty of shedding innocent blood, for you are the Lord; you have done as it pleases you.’
No ia mea, kahea aku la lakou ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei makou ia oe, e Iehova, ke noi aku nei makou, mai lukuia makou no ke ola o keia kanaka, a mai hoopai ia makou i ke koko hala ole: no ka mea, ua hana mai oe, e Iehova, e like me kou makemake.
15 And they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea became calm.
Nolaila, kaikai ae la lakou ia Iona a kiola aku la ia ia iloko o ke kai: e malie iho la ke kai mai kona kupikipikio ana.
16 Then the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice and made vows to him.
Alaila, makau nui loa iho la na kanaka ia Iehova, a kaumaha aku lakou i mohai ia Iehova, a hoohiki i na hoohiki ana.
17 But the Lord arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.
A ua hoomakaukau o Iehova i ia nui e ale iho ia Iona. A ekolu ao, a ekolu po o Iona ileko o ka opu o ka ia.
