Jonas 1
1 Karon ang pulong ni Yahweh gipadayag kang Jonas nga anak ni Amitai, nga nagaingon,
This message from the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai:
2 “Tindog ug adto sa Ninebe, kadtong bantogan nga siyudad, ug pagpamulong batok niini, tungod kay ang ilang pagkadaotan midangat na kanako.”
“Arise, go to that great city, Nineveh, and preach against it; for their wickedness is known to me.”
3 Apan si Jonas mitindog aron moikyas gikan sa presensya ni Yahweh ug moadto sa Tarsis. Milugsong siya sa Joppa ug nakakaplag ug barko paingon sa Tarsis. Busa nagbayad siya sa pamasahe ug misakay sa barko aron mouban kanila paingon sa Tarsis, palayo sa presensya ni Yahweh.
But Jonah started to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
4 Apan nagpadala si Yahweh ug kusog nga hangin ngadto sa dagat ug nahimo kining gamhanan nga bagyo sa dagat. Sa wala madugay ang barko daw hapit na maguba.
But the Lord made a furious wind blow over the sea, and there was such a great storm that the ship was in danger of breaking to pieces.
5 Unya ang mga manlalayag nangahadlok pag-ayo ug ang matag tawo misinggit ngadto sa iyang kaugalingon nga dios. Ilang gilabay ngadto sa dagat ang mga karga sa barko aron mogaan kini. Apan si Jonas mikanaog ngadto sa pinakasuok nga bahin sa barko, ug didto siya naghigda ug nahinanok sa pagkatulog.
The sailors were terrified and each cried for help to his own god. They threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to make the ship lighter. Meanwhile Jonah had gone down into the bottom of the ship and lay fast asleep.
6 Mao nga ang kapitan miduol ngadto kaniya ug miingon kaniya, “Nganong natulog ka man? Bangon! Tawag sa imong dios! Basin makamatngon pa ang imong dios kanato ug dili kita malaglag.”
The captain of the ship went and said to him, “How can you sleep? Call on your god; perhaps that god will think of us, so that we may not be lost.”
7 Nag-ingnanay sila sa usag-usa, “Dali, magripa kita, aron masayran nato kung kinsa ang hinungdan niining daotan nga nagakahitabo kanato.” Busa nagripa sila, ug ang ripa natunong kang Jonas.
The sailors said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots to discover on whose account this evil has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot indicated Jonah.
8 Unya miingon sila kang Jonas, “Palihog sultihi kami kung kinsa ang hinungdan niining kadaot nga nagakahitabo kanato.” Unsa man ang imong trabaho, ug asa ka man gikan? Unsa ang imong nasod ug kang kinsa kang katawhan nahisakop?”
So they said to him, “Are you to blame for this? Tell us, what is your business, and where do you come from? What is your country and to what people do you belong?”
9 Si Jonas miingon kanila, “Usa ako ka-Hebreohanon; ug adunay akoy kahadlok kang Yahweh, ang Dios sa langit, nga nagbuhat sa dagat ug sa uga nga yuta.”
He replied, “I am a Hebrew, and a worshipper of the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
10 Unya misamot pa gayod sa kahadlok ang mga tawo ug miingon kang Jonas, “Unsa man kining imong nabuhat?” Tungod nasayod man ang mga tawo nga mipalayo siya sa presensya ni Yahweh, tungod mitug-an man siya kanila.
Then the men were greatly frightened and said to him, “What have you done?” For they knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11 Unya miingon sila kang Jonas, “Unsa man ang angay namong buhaton kanimo aron ang dagat molurang alang kanamo?” Tungod ang dagat nag-anam pa gayod ug kakusog.
Then they said to him, “What should we do to you, to make the sea calm for us?” For the sea grew more and more stormy.
12 Si Jonas mitubag kanila, “Dayongi ako ninyo ug ilabay ako ngadto sa dagat. Unya ang dagat molurang alang kaninyo, tungod nasayod ako nga ako ang hinungdan nganong nagakahitabo kining kusog nga bagyo kaninyo.”
He said to them, “Take me up and throw me into the sea, and the sea will be calm for you, for I know that it is because of me this fierce storm has overtaken you.”
13 Apan ang mga tawo mibugsay pa gayod aron mobalik ang barko sa baybay, apan dili nila kini mahimo tungod misamot pa gayod ang dagat ug kakusog batok kanila.
But instead the men rowed hard to get back to the land; they could not, however, for the sea grew more and more stormy ahead.
14 Busa misinggit sila kang Yahweh ug miingon, “Nagpakiluoy kami kanimo, Yahweh, nagpakiluoy kami, ayaw kami paantosa tungod sa kinabuhi aning tawhana, ug ayaw kami himoang sad-an sa iyang kamatayon, tungod ikaw, Yahweh, nagbuhat kung unsa ang makapahimuot kanimo.”
So they cried to the Lord and said, “We beg you, Lord, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t let us be guilty of shedding innocent blood, for you are the Lord; you have done as it pleases you.”
15 Busa ilang gialsa si Jonas ug gitambog sa dagat ug ang dagat miundang sa kabangis. Unya nahadlok pag-ayo ang mga tawo kang Yahweh.
And they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea became calm.
16 Naghatag sila ug mga halad kang Yahweh ug naghimo ug mga pagpakigsaad.
Then the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice and made vows to him.
17 Karon si Yahweh nag-andam ug dako kaayo nga isda aron lamyon si Jonas, ug si Jonas anaa sa tiyan sa isda sulod sa tulo ka adlaw ug tulo ka gabii.
But the Lord arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.
