Youna 1
1 Eso afaega, Hina Bagade Gode da Youna, (Amidai ea mano) ema sia: i.
Now the word of Jehovah came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,
2 E amane adoi, “Di Ninefe moilai bai bagade fi amoga asili, gasa gala ilima amane sisia: ma, ‘Na ba: loba da dili wadela: i hou bagohame hamosa’ ia adoma.”
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 Be Youna da Hina Gode yolesili, Dasase moilai bai bagade fi amoga hobeale masunusa: dawa: i. Be amomane E da Yoba moilai amoga asi, amola E asili ba: loba, dusagai bagade amo da Dasase moilai bai bagade (Siba: ini soge ganodini) amoga ahoanebe ba: i. Amanoba, e da ea masunu muni ianu, dusagai hawa: hamosu dunu gilisili amoga fila heda: i. E da Gode yolesili hobeale masunusa: dawa: i
But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish, and paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah.
4 Be Youna amola dunu oda ilia gilisili fila heda: le ahoanoba, Hina Gode Hi da isu amola fo amola gibu amo i, amola hano da bagade gafululi amola da dusagai amo gadenene agoane, gela sa: imu agoai ba: i.
But Jehovah sent forth a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken in pieces.
5 Amabeba: le, dusagaiga hawa: hamosu dunu ilia bagadewane beda: ne, ilia ‘gode’ liligi ilima fidima: ne sia: ne gadoi. Amola ilia liligi dusagai ganodini dialu amo huluane ladili hanoa ga galagai. Be ili amo hawa: hamonanoba da Youna e dusagai amo ganodini, sesei amo ganodini sima dialu.
Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god. And they cast forth the things that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah had gone down to the lower part of the ship, and he lay and was fast asleep.
6 Be dusagai ouligisu dunu ea da Youna ba: le amane sia: i, “Abuliba: le di sima dianabela: ? Di waha wa: legadole di fidima: ne dia Godema sia: ne gadoma, amola da nini huluane hanoga gela sa: imu galebe. Na dawa: loba da dia Godema sia: ne gadosea, amola Ea ninima asigili fidima: bela: amola ninia da hame bogoma: bela: ?”
And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God! Perhaps God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 Amalu dusagaiga hawa: hamosu dunu ilia gilisili sia: sa: i amola bai hogoi, “Nowa da bai mubala: le amola goe hou doaga: ma: ne amola ninia gadenenewane se nabimu galebe. Ninia amo hou dawa: ma: ne ganisano sagamu.” Hogole ba: loba Youna e da afuda: i ba: i, amola ea dio dialebe ba: i.
And they said one to another, come, and let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil is upon us! And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Amabeba: le, ilia ema amane sia: i, “Dia amola ninima goe hou hamoi amo se nabasu bai amo ninima adole ima. Dia da goe guda: adi hamobela: ? Amola di da habidili fi dunula: ? Dia da habidili fi dunu amola dia sosogo fi da habigala?”
Then said they to him, Tell us, we pray thee, on whose account this evil is upon us. What is thy business? And whence comest thou? What is thy country? And of what people art thou?
9 Amola Youna amane adole i, “Na da Hibulu sosogo fi amoga, amola na da Hina Gode Bagade Hebene ganodini esalebe, amoma fa: no bobogesa amola Ema sia: ne gadosa. E da osobo bagade amola hano huluane hamoi.”
And he said to them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear Jehovah, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.
10 Amola Youna e da dusagaiga hawa: hamosu ilima amane adole i, “Na da Hina Bagade Ema hobeale ahoa.” Be amo sia: nababeba: le, dusagaiga hawa: hamosu ilia bagadewane fofogadigili amola bagade beda: gia: i, amola ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Amo hou dia da abuliba: le hamobela: ? (E da Godema hobeale asi ilima adoiba: le, ilia da amo hou dawa: i dagoi).
Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, Wherefore hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of Jehovah, because he had told them.
11 Be fo amola isu da mae yolelewane, bagade manu, amabeba: le ilia ema adole ba: i. “Adi hamonanea da fo amola isu amola yolema: bela: ?”
Then said they to him, What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
12 Youna da amane sia: i, “Dilia da na hanoga ha: digisia, da fo amola isu amola da yolemu. Na dawa: , amo da na baiga agoane hamosa.”
And he said to them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; and the sea shall be calm to you. For I know that because of me this great tempest is upon you.
13 Be amomane dusagaiga hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da gasa fili, hano bega: ganodini doaga: musa: ha: giwane sua: lala asi, be amomane ahoa ba: loba hamedeidafa ba: i. Be fo amola isu da bu bagade misi.
Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring the ship to the land; but they could not; for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
14 Amabeba: le, ili da Godema gasa gala bagadewane sia: ne gadoi, ili fidima: ne, amola ilia amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Nini bagade beda: i galebe. Be ninia goe dunu ha: digisia, Dia nini mae se nabasima amola mae medole legema. Hina Gode! Di fawane da Dia hanaiga hamoi.
And they cried to Jehovah, and said, We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for the life of this man, and lay not upon us innocent blood! For thou, O Jehovah, hast done as it pleased thee.
15 Amanoba, ilia Youna ouga: ne hanoa galagai, be amane hamobeba: le, fo amola isu amola hano gafului huluane fisi dagoi.
And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.
16 Amo hou ba: beba: le, ilia amola da Hina Godema beda: ne amola nodone gobele salasu hou amola, Ema dafawane fa: no bobogemu sia: i.
Then the men feared Jehovah exceedingly, and offered sacrifice to Jehovah, and made vows.
17 Be Hina Gode da hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, menabo bagade afae amo da Youna e da: gi, amola Youna da menabo ea hagomo ganodini esaloba, eso udiana amola gasi udiana amola ha: digi.
Now Jehovah had appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
