Jonah 1
1 [One day] Yahweh said to [the prophet] Jonah, the son of Amittai,
Karon ang pulong ni Jehova midangat kang Jonas ang anak nga lalake ni Amittai, nga nagaingon:
2 “I have [seen] how wicked [the people of] [MTY] the great city of Nineveh are. Therefore go there and warn the people that [I am planning to] destroy their city [because of their sins].”
Tumindog ka, sa Ninive, kanang dakung ciudad, ug sumiggit ka batok niana; kay ang ilang pagkadautan midangat sa akong atubangan.
3 But [instead of going to Nineveh], Jonah [went in the direction] opposite to where Yahweh [told him to go]. He went down to Joppa [city]. There he bought a ticket to travel on a ship that was going to Tarshish [city], in order to avoid [doing what] Yahweh [told him to do]. [He got on the ship, ] and [then went down] to a lower deck, [lay down, and went to sleep].
Apan ni Jonas mitindog aron sa pagkalagiw paingon sa Tarsis gikan sa atubangan ni Jehova; ug siya milugsong ngadto sa Joppe, ug nakakaplag usa ka sakayan paingon sa Tarsis: busa mibayad siya sa ilete niana, ug misakay niana, aron sa pag-adto uban kanila ngadto sa Tarsis gikan sa atubangan ni Jehova.
4 Then Yahweh caused a very strong wind to blow, and there was such a violent storm that [the sailors thought] the ship would break apart.
Apan si Jehova nagpadala ug usa ka dakung hangin ibabaw sa kadagatan, ug miabut ang makusog nga bagyo sa dagat, sa pagkaagi nga ang sakayan daw naguba na.
5 The sailors were very frightened. Because of that, they each [started to] pray to their own gods [to save them]. Then they threw the cargo into the sea to make the ship lighter [in order that it would not sink easily].
Nan ang mga sakayanon nangahadlok, ug ang tagsatagsa ka tawo misinggit sa pagpakitabang sa iyang dios; ug ilang gisalibay ngadto dagat ang uban nilang mga lulan sa sakayan, aron sa pagpagaan niini alang kanila. Apan si Jonas misulod ngadto sa labing tago nga mga bahin sa sakayan ug siya mihigda, ug nahikatulog sa halalum nga paghinamok.
6 Then the captain went [down] to where Jonah was sleeping soundly. [He awoke him] and said [to him], “(How can you sleep [during a storm like this]?/You should not be sleeping [during a storm like this]) [RHQ]! Get up and pray to your god! Perhaps he will pity us and save us, in order that we will not drown!” [But Jonah refused to do that].
Busa ang arayis sa sakayan miadto kaniya, ug miingon kaniya: Unsa ang buot mong ipasabut, Oh hingatulogon? tindog, tawga ang imong Dios, basin pa ang Dios magahunahuna tungod kanato, aron kita dili mangamatay.
7 Then the sailors said to each other, “We need to (cast lots/shake from a container small objects that we have all marked), to determine who has caused [all] this trouble!” So they did that, and [the object with] Jonah’s mark fell out [of the container].
Ug ang tagsatagsa kanila miingon sa iyang kauban: Umari kamo, ug magpapalad kita, aron hibaloan ta kong kang kinsa nahimutang kining kadautan nga midangat kanato. Busa nagpapadala sila, ug ang palad naha-igo kang Jonas.
8 So [various ones of] them asked him, “Are you the one who has caused us all this trouble?” “What work do you do?” “Where are you [coming] from?” “What country and what people-group do you belong to?”
Unya sila ming-ingon kaniya: Suginli kami, nangaliyupo kami kanimo, alang kang kinsang hinungdan nga kining kadaut midangat man kanato; unsa ang imong bulohaton? ug diin ba ikaw gikan? taga-diin ba nga yuta ikaw? ug sa unsa nga katawohan ikaw?
9 Jonah replied, “I am a Hebrew. I worship Yahweh God, who [lives in] heaven. He is the one who made the sea and the land. I am trying to escape from [doing what] Yahweh [told me to do].”
Ug siya miingon kanila: Ako Hebreohanon man; ug ako mahadlokon kang Jehova, ang Dios sa langit, nga maoy nagbuhat sa dagat ug sa yuta nga mamala.
10 After the sailors heard that, they were terrified. So they asked him, “Do you realize what [trouble] you have caused?”
Unya ang mga tawo nangahadlok sa hilabihan gayud, ug ming-ingon kaniya:
11 The [storm kept getting worse and] the waves kept getting bigger. So [one of] the sailors asked Jonah, “What should we do in order to make the sea become calm?”
Ug sila ming-ingon kaniya: Unsa ang among pagabuhaton kanimo, aron ang dagat magmalinawon alang kanamo? kay nagkakusog ang b agyo sa dagat.
12 He replied, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. [If you do that], it will become calm. I know that this terrible storm is the result of my [not doing what Yahweh told me to do].”
Ug siya miingon kanila: Sakwata ako, ug itambog ako ngadto sa dagat; aron ang dagat magmalinawon alang kaninyo: kay ako nahibalo nga tungod kanako kining dakung bagyo midangat kaninyo.
13 But the sailors did [not want to do that]. [Instead], they tried hard to row the ship back to the land. But they could not [do that], because the storm continued to get worse.
Apan ang mga tawo nanaggaud sa makusog aron sila mahibalik sa yuta; apan sila wala makahimo; kay ang bagyo sa dagat misamot pagkakusog batok kanila.
14 Therefore they prayed to Yahweh, and [one of them] prayed, “O Yahweh, please do not let us drown because of our causing this man to die. O Yahweh, you have done what you wanted to do. [We do not know if this man has sinned. If] he has not sinned, do not consider that we are guilty of sinning when we cause him to die!”
Busa sila mingtu-aw kang Jehova, ug ming-ingon: Nangaliyupo kami kanimo, Oh Jehova, nangaliyupo kami kanimo, ayaw pag-itugot nga kami mangamatay tungod sa kinabuhi niining tawohanana, ug ayaw ibutang sa ibabaw namo ang dugo nga inocente; kay ikaw, Oh Jehova, nagbuhat ingon sa nahamut-an nimo.
15 Then they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea. Then the sea became calm.
Busa ilang gisakwat si Jonas, ug gitambog siya ngadto sa dagat; ug ang dagat mihunong sa iyang kabangis.
16 [When that happened], the sailors became greatly awed at Yahweh’s [power]. So they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh, and they strongly promised [him that they would do things that would please him].
Unya ang mga tawo nangahadlok kang Jehova sa hilabihan gayud; ug sila nanaghalad usa ka halad kang Jehova, ug nanagpanaad sila.
17 [While they were doing that, ] Yahweh sent a huge fish that swallowed Jonah. Then Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.
Ug giandam ni Jehova ang usa ka dakung isda nga molomoy kang Jonas; ug si Jonas diha sa sulod sa tiyan sa isda totolo ka adlaw ug totolo ka gabii.
