Jona 1
1 Riječ Jahvina dođe Joni, sinu Amitajevu:
And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
2 “Ustani,” reče mu, “idi u Ninivu, grad veliki, i propovijedaj u njemu, jer se zloća njihova popela do mene.”
“Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness has come up before Me.”
3 A Jona ustade da pobjegne u Taršiš, daleko od Jahve. Siđe u Jafu i nađe lađu što je plovila u Taršiš. Plati vozarinu i ukrca se da otplovi s njima u Taršiš, daleko od Jahve.
And Jonah rises to flee to Tarshish from the face of YHWH, and goes down [to] Joppa, and finds a ship going [to] Tarshish, and he gives its fare, and goes down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of YHWH.
4 Ali Jahve podiže na moru silan vjetar i nastade nevrijeme veliko na moru te mišljahu da će se lađa razbiti.
And YHWH has cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great storm in the sea, and the ship has reckoned to be broken;
5 Uplašiše se mornari; svaki zazva svoga boga, i da bi je olakšali, stadoše iz lađe bacati tovar što bijaše u njoj. Jona pak bijaše sišao na dno lađe, legao i zaspao tvrdim snom.
and the mariners are afraid, and they each cry to his god, and cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make [it] light of them; and Jonah has gone down to the sides of the vessel, and he lies down, and is fast asleep.
6 Zapovjednik lađe pristupi mu i reče: “Što spavaš kao zaklan? Ustaj i prizivlji Boga svojega! Možda će nas se sjetiti Bog taj da ne poginemo.”
And the chief of the company draws near to him and says to him, “What are you [doing], O sleeper? Rise, call to your God, it may be God considers Himself of us, and we do not perish.”
7 Potom rekoše jedni drugima: “Hajde da bacimo ždrijeb da vidimo od koga nam dođe ovo zlo.” Baciše ždrijeb i pade ždrijeb na Jonu.
And they each say to his neighbor, “Come, and we cast lots, and we know on whose account this evil [is] on us.” And they cast lots, and the lot falls on Jonah.
8 Oni mu onda rekoše: “Kaži nam: zbog koga nas ovo zlo snađe, kojim se poslom baviš, odakle dolaziš, iz koje si zemlje i od kojega naroda?”
And they say to him, “Now declare to us, on whose account [is] this evil on us? What [is] your occupation, and where do you come from? What [is] your country, seeing you are not of this people?”
9 On im odgovori: “Ja sam Hebrej, i štujem Jahvu, Boga nebeskoga, koji stvori more i zemlju.”
And he says to them, “I—a Hebrew, and I fear YHWH, God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”
10 Ljudi se uplašiše veoma i rekoše mu: “Što si to učinio!” Jer bijahu doznali da on bježi od Jahve - sam im je to pripovjedio.
And the men fear a great fear, and say to him, “What [is] this you have done!” For the men have known that he is fleeing from the face of YHWH, for he has told them.
11 Oni ga zapitaše: “Što da učinimo s tobom da nam se more smiri?” Jer se more sve bješnje dizalo.
And they say to him, “What do we do to you that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more turbulent?”
12 On im odgovori: “Uzmite me i bacite u more, pa će vam se more smiriti, jer znam da se zbog mene diglo na vas ovo veliko nevrijeme.”
And he says to them, “Lift me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea ceases from you; for I know that on my account this great storm [is] on you.”
13 Ljudi uzeše veslati ne bi li se primakli kopnu, jer se more sve bješnje dizalo protiv njih.
And the men row to turn back to the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more turbulent against them.
14 Tad zazvaše Jahvu i rekoše: “Ah, Jahve, ne daj da poginemo zbog života ovoga čovjeka i ne svali na nas krv nevinu, jer ti si Jahve: činiš kako ti je milo.”
And they cry to YHWH, and say, “Ah, now, O YHWH, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not lay innocent blood on us! For You, YHWH, as You have pleased, You have done.”
15 I uzevši Jonu, baciše ga u more - i more presta bjesnjeti.
And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceases from its raging;
16 Tada velik strah Jahvin obuze ljude te prinesoše žrtvu Jahvi i učiniše zavjete.
and the men fear YHWH [with] a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to YHWH, and vow vows.
17 Jahve zapovjedi velikoj ribi da proguta Jonu. Tri dana i tri noći ostade Jona u ribljoj utrobi.
And YHWH appoints a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.
