Jonah 1
1 [One day] Yahweh said to [the prophet] Jonah, the son of Amittai,
Каринг о Иона, Амиттаёско щяво, сас ворба катар о Рай Яхва:
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].”
— Кидэту, жя андо баро форо Ниневия ай пхэн манушэнгэ ворба, анда кадо кэ ғира па лэскэ чёрэ бутя арэслас жи Мандэ.
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].
Алом о Иона кидаспэ тэ нашэл катар о Рай Яхва андо Таршыш. Вов гэластар андэ Яффа, аракхлас бэрo, саво жяластар андо Таршыш, потиндас пал традыпэ ай бэшлас пэ лэстэ тэ усый катар о Рай Яхва.
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.
Алом о Рай Яхва щюдас по море бари балвал, ай ваздаспэ касаво штормо, кэ о бэро сас тэ пхарадёл.
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].
Саворэ налара дарайлэ, ай сако лас тэ рудий кай пэско дэл. Вон щюдэ андо паи са э пхаримата, савэ сас по бэро, тэ авэл вов май локхо. Англа кадо о Иона мэкласпэ тэлэ андо бэро, пашлилас котэ ай сутас зуралэ соимаса.
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].
Бэроско паранчёдашы авилас лэстэ ай пхэндас: — Со ту совэс? Уще, рудинту тирэ Дэвлэскэ! Вов шай жутый амэнгэ, ай амэ чи хасайвас.
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].
Э налара пхэннас екх екхэскэ: — Тэ щюдамас жребиё тэ жянас, анда кастэ амэ хасайвас. Вон щюдэ жребиё, ай вов сыкадас по 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?”
Атунчи вон пущлэ лэс: — Пхэн амэнгэ, кон дошало андо кадо баё? Че бутяса лэсту? Катар жяс? Анда че тхэм сан? Анда че мануш?
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 пхэндас: — Мэ сым евреё ай дав патив кай о Рай Яхва, о Дэл лэ Черэско, Саво кэрдас море ай э пхув.
10 After the sailors heard that, they were terrified. So they asked him, “Do you realize what [trouble] you have caused?”
Иона пхэндас э наларэнгэ, кэ вов нашэл катар о Рай Яхва. Кана вон жянглэ па кадо, лас лэн бари дар, ай вон пущлэ: — Ай че баё кэрдан?
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?”
Ай лэ моряко паи ваздэласпэ са май зуралэс ай май учес, ай атунчи вон пущлэ лэстар: — Со тэ кэрас туса тэ чендэшийпэ о паи?
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].”
— Лэн ман ай щюдэн андо море, — пхэндас вов, — ай о паи чендэшыяпэ. Мэ жянав, кэ кадо насул штормо пэлас пэ тумэндэ анда мандэ.
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.
Вон лынэ тэ традавэн о бэро анда интрэги зор, тэ рэсэн жи кай пхув, алом вон чи биринас, анда кадо кэ о паи ваздэласпэ лэ балваляса инкэ май зуралэс.
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!”
Атунчи вон лынэ тэ мангэн лэ Рас лэ Яхвас: — Эта, Рай Яхва, тэ на хасайвас амэ анда кадо мануш. Тэ на щёс пэ амэндэ бэзэх анда мударипэ на дошалэ манушэско, чяк Ту, Рай Яхва, кэрэс кодо, со камэс Ту.
15 Then they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea. Then the sea became calm.
Атунчи вон лынэ Ионас, щюдэ лэс аври анда бэро, ай холярнико паи чендэшысайлас.
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].
Лас э манушэн бари дар катар о Рай Яхва, вон дынэ лэскэ жэртва ай солахадэ.
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.
О Рай Яхва кэрдас кадэ, кэ баро мащё накхадас Ионас, ай вов сас андэ мащески дёмра трин дес ай трин ратя.
