Jonah 1
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to Jonas,
Torej Gospodova beseda je prišla k Jonu, Amitájevemu sinu, rekoč:
2 sone of Amathi, and seide, Rise thou, and go in to Nynyue, the greet citee, and preche thou ther ynne, for the malice therof stieth vp bifore me.
»Vstani, pojdi v Ninive, to veliko mesto in kliči zoper njega, kajti njihova zlobnost je prišla predme.«
3 And Jonas roos for to fle in to Tharsis, fro the face of the Lord. And he cam doun to Joppe, and foond a schip goynge in to Tharsis, and he yaf schip hire to hem; and he wente doun in to it, for to go with hem in to Tharsis, fro the face of the Lord.
Toda Jona se je dvignil, da pred Gospodovo prisotnostjo zbeži v Taršíš in je odšel dol v Jopo in našel ladjo, ki je šla v Taršíš. Tako je plačal njeno voznino in odšel dol vanjo, da gre z njimi v Taršíš, proč od Gospodove prisotnosti.
4 Forsothe the Lord sente a greet wynd in the see, and a greet tempest was maad in the see, and the schip was in perel for to be al to-brokun.
Toda Gospod je na morje odposlal velik veter in tam na morju je bil mogočen vihar, tako da je ladjo hotel zlomiti.
5 And schip men dredden, and men crieden to her god; and senten vessels, that weren in the schip, in to the see, that it were maad liytere of hem. And Jonas wente doun in to the ynnere thingis of the schip, and slepte bi a greuouse sleep.
Potem so bili mornarji prestrašeni in vsak je klical k svojemu bogu in odvrgli [so] blago, ki je bilo na ladji, v morje, da jo olajšajo. Jona pa je odšel dol med ladijske boke in legel ter trdno zaspal.
6 And the gouernour cam to him, and seide to hym, Whi art thou cast doun in sleep? rise thou, clepe thi God to help, if perauenture God ayenthenke of vs, and we perische not.
Tako je kapitan prišel k njemu in mu rekel: »Kaj ti misliš, oh zaspanec? Vstani, kliči k svojemu Bogu, če je tako, da bo Bog mislil na nas, da se ne pogubimo.«
7 And a man seide to his felowe, Come ye, and caste we lottis, and wite we, whi this yuel is to vs. And thei kesten lottis, and lot felle on Jonas.
In rekli so vsak svojemu tovarišu: »Pridimo in mečimo žrebe, da bomo lahko izvedeli zaradi čigavega vzroka je nad nami to zlo.« Tako so metali žrebe in žreb je padel na Jona.
8 And thei seiden to hym, Schewe thou to vs, for cause of what thing this yuel is to vs; what is thi werk, which is thi lond, and whidur goist thou, ether of what puple art thou?
Potem so mu rekli: »Povej nam, prosimo te, zaradi čigavega vzroka je nad nami to zlo. Kakšen je tvoj poklic? In od kod prihajaš? Katera je tvoja dežela? In iz katerega ljudstva si?«
9 And he seide to hem, Y am an Ebrew, and Y drede the Lord God of heuene, that made the see and the drie lond.
Rekel jim je: »Jaz sem Hebrejec in se bojim Gospoda, Boga nebes, ki je naredil morje in kopno zemljo.«
10 And the men dredden with greet drede, and seiden to him, Whi didist thou this thing? for the men knewen that he flei fro the face of the Lord, for Jonas hadde schewide to hem.
Potem so bili ljudje silno prestrašeni in mu rekli: »Zakaj si to storil?« Kajti ljudje so vedeli, da je pobegnil izpred Gospodovega obličja, ker jim je povedal.
11 And thei seiden to hym, What schulen we do to thee, and the see schal seesse fro vs? for the see wente, and wexe greet on hem.
Potem so mu rekli: »Kaj naj ti storimo, da se nam morje lahko umiri?« Kajti morje se je maščevalo in bilo viharno.
12 And he seide to hem, Take ye me, and throwe in to the see, and the see schal ceesse fro you; for Y woot, that for me this greet tempest is on you.
Rekel jim je: »Vzemite me in me vrzite v morje. Tako se vam bo morje umirilo, kajti vem, da je zaradi mene ta veliki vihar nad vami.«
13 And men rowiden, for to turne ayen to the drie lond, and thei miyten not, for the see wente, and wexe greet on hem.
Kljub temu so možje trdo veslali, da jo privedejo k obali, toda niso mogli, kajti morje se je maščevalo in bilo viharno proti njim.
14 And thei crieden to the Lord, and seiden, Lord, we bisechen, that we perische not in the lijf of this man, and that thou yyue not on vs innocent blood; for thou, Lord, didist as thou woldist.
Zato so klicali h Gospodu in rekli: »Rotimo te, oh Gospod, rotimo te, naj se ne pogubimo zaradi življenja tega moža in ne položi na nas nedolžne krvi, kajti ti, oh Gospod, si storil, kakor ti je ugajalo.«
15 And thei token Jonas, and threwen in to the see; and the see stood of his buylyng.
Tako so vzeli Jona in ga vrgli v morje in morje je odnehalo od svojega besnenja.
16 And the men dredden the Lord with greet drede, and offriden oostis to the Lord, and vowiden avowis.
Potem so se možje silno zbali Gospoda in Gospodu darovali klavno daritev in naredili zaobljube.
17 And the Lord made redi a greet fisch, that he shulde swolowe Jonas; and Jonas was in the wombe of the fisch thre daies and thre niytis.
Torej Gospod je pripravil veliko ribo, da je pogoltnila Jona. In Jona je bil v ribjem trebuhu tri dni in tri noči.
