Jonah 1
1 [One day] Yahweh said to [the prophet] Jonah, the son of Amittai,
Сля лав РАЕСТАР Ионасти, чявэ Амиттаёхкирэсти:
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].”
— Вщи, джя ды Ниневия, баро форо, тай роспхэн ды лэ, со дума пала врыти рындуря кадылэн манушэн доджиля ды ман.
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].
Нэ Иона вщиля, соб тэ нашэ ды Таршыш РАЕСТАР, тай авиля ды Яффа, аракхля корабли, саво оджялас ды Таршыш, потинда, соб лэ тэ пролиджян, и заджиля ды лэ, соб тэ авэ РАЕСТАР ды Таршыш.
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.
Нэ РАЙ бичялда пы море састо балвал. Тирдапэ баро гвалто, и кораблести трэбуни сля тэ розмарэпэ.
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].
Матросуря здарэнэпэ тай ачиле тэ типисявэ кожно пэхкирэ дэвлэсти. Вонэ вычютэ всаворэ бужэ кораблестар ды пане, соб тэ авэл локхэдэр. Нэ Иона ды калэ смукляпэ андрэ, пыля тай састэс засута.
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].
Капитано кораблехкоро авиля лэстэ тай пхэнда лэсти: — Со ту совэх? Вщи, типисяв тирэ Дэвлэсти. Ко джянэл, Вов ушунэла амэн, тай амэ на хасяваґа.
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].
Матросуря пхэндэ екх екхэсти: — Джям, чюваґа жребиё, соб тэ уджянэ, пала ка кадыя грыжа авиля пы амэн. Вонэ чютэ жребиё, и жребиё выпыля пы Иона.
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?”
Тунчи вонэ пхэндэ лэсти: — Пхэн амэнди, пала ка дорэсля амэн кадыя грыжа? Соґа ту залэхпэ? Катар ту джях? Тев тири пхув? Савэндар ту манушэндар?
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].”
Вов пхэнда лэнди: — Мэ евреё, даравпэ РАЕСТАР, Дэвлэ болыбнахкирэ, Саво стирда баро пани тай пхув.
10 After the sailors heard that, they were terrified. So they asked him, “Do you realize what [trouble] you have caused?”
Тунчи Иона пхэнда лэнди, со вов нашэл РАЕСТАР. Кала мануша уджянгле пала када, вонэ фартэ пэрэдарэне тай пхэндэ лэсти: — Сости ту када тирдан?
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?”
Море на пэрэачелас гвалтовать. Вонэ пхэндэ лэсти: — Со амэнди тэ тирэ туґа, тэ на гвалтует море?
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].”
Тунчи вов пхэнда лэнди: — Лэн ман и вычювэн ды море, тай море пэрэачела гвалтовать важ тумэнди. Мэ джянав, со кадыя бари грыжа доросля тумэн пала ман.
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.
Нэ кала мануша ачиле фартыдэр тэ тирэ бути, соб тэ прыаче пхуятэ, лэндэ нисо на выджялас, колэсти со море на пэрэачелас гвалтовать.
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!”
Тунчи вонэ типисине РАЕСТИ тай пхэндэ: — Мангах Тут, РАЕ, тэ на хасявах пала води кадылэ манушэ, тай на прычувэґа амэнди навуджило рат. Ту, РАЕ, стирдан, со Ту камлян!
15 Then they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea. Then the sea became calm.
Вонэ лиле Иона тай вычютэ ды пане, тай пы море авиля пачя.
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].
Матросуря фартэ пэрэдаранепэ РАЕСТАР, андэ Лэсти жэртва и дыне солах.
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.
РАЙ бичялда баро мачё, тай вой прозумавда Иона. Вов просля андрэ ды пэр мачестэ трин дивэ тай трин рятя.
