Jonas 1

1 Karon ang pulong ni Jehova midangat kang Jonas ang anak nga lalake ni Amittai, nga nagaingon:

The word of the Lord also came unto Jonah the son of 'Amitthai, saying,

2 Tumindog ka, sa Ninive, kanang dakung ciudad, ug sumiggit ka batok niana; kay ang ilang pagkadautan midangat sa akong atubangan.

Arise, Go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against her; for their wickedness is come up before me.

3 Apan ni Jonas mitindog aron sa pagkalagiw paingon sa Tarsis gikan sa atubangan ni Jehova; ug siya milugsong ngadto sa Joppe, ug nakakaplag usa ka sakayan paingon sa Tarsis: busa mibayad siya sa ilete niana, ug misakay niana, aron sa pag-adto uban kanila ngadto sa Tarsis gikan sa atubangan ni Jehova.

But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tharshish from the presence of the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tharshish, and paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tharshish, from the presence of the Lord.

4 Apan si Jehova nagpadala ug usa ka dakung hangin ibabaw sa kadagatan, ug miabut ang makusog nga bagyo sa dagat, sa pagkaagi nga ang sakayan daw naguba na.

But the Lord excited a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea; and it was thought that the ship would be broken in pieces.

5 Nan ang mga sakayanon nangahadlok, ug ang tagsatagsa ka tawo misinggit sa pagpakitabang sa iyang dios; ug ilang gisalibay ngadto dagat ang uban nilang mga lulan sa sakayan, aron sa pagpagaan niini alang kanila. Apan si Jonas misulod ngadto sa labing tago nga mga bahin sa sakayan ug siya mihigda, ug nahikatulog sa halalum nga paghinamok.

And the mariners were afraid, and called every man unto his god; and they cast forth the articles which were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah was gone down into the hold of the ship, and lay down, and was fast asleep.

6 Busa ang arayis sa sakayan miadto kaniya, ug miingon kaniya: Unsa ang buot mong ipasabut, Oh hingatulogon? tindog, tawga ang imong Dios, basin pa ang Dios magahunahuna tungod kanato, aron kita dili mangamatay.

So the ship-master came near unto him, and said unto him, Why dost thou sleep? arise, call upon thy God: perhaps it be that God will think of us, that we may not be lost.

7 Ug ang tagsatagsa kanila miingon sa iyang kauban: Umari kamo, ug magpapalad kita, aron hibaloan ta kong kang kinsa nahimutang kining kadautan nga midangat kanato. Busa nagpapadala sila, ug ang palad naha-igo kang Jonas.

And they said one to the other, Come, and let us cast lots; that we may know for whose cause this evil hath happened unto us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

8 Unya sila ming-ingon kaniya: Suginli kami, nangaliyupo kami kanimo, alang kang kinsang hinungdan nga kining kadaut midangat man kanato; unsa ang imong bulohaton? ug diin ba ikaw gikan? taga-diin ba nga yuta ikaw? ug sa unsa nga katawohan ikaw?

Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, thou for whose cause this evil hath happened unto us, What is thy business? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?

9 Ug siya miingon kanila: Ako Hebreohanon man; ug ako mahadlokon kang Jehova, ang Dios sa langit, nga maoy nagbuhat sa dagat ug sa yuta nga mamala.

And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land.

10 Unya ang mga tawo nangahadlok sa hilabihan gayud, ug ming-ingon kaniya:

Then were the men exceedingly afraid and they said unto him, What is this thou hast done? for the men knew that he was flying from the presence of the Lord; because he had told them.

11 Ug sila ming-ingon kaniya: Unsa ang among pagabuhaton kanimo, aron ang dagat magmalinawon alang kanamo? kay nagkakusog ang b agyo sa dagat.

And they said unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may become calm around us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous.

12 Ug siya miingon kanila: Sakwata ako, ug itambog ako ngadto sa dagat; aron ang dagat magmalinawon alang kaninyo: kay ako nahibalo nga tungod kanako kining dakung bagyo midangat kaninyo.

And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea: so shall the sea be calm around you; for I know well that because of me is this great tempest upon you.

13 Apan ang mga tawo nanaggaud sa makusog aron sila mahibalik sa yuta; apan sila wala makahimo; kay ang bagyo sa dagat misamot pagkakusog batok kanila.

Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring [the ship] back to the land; but they could not; for the sea grew more and more tempestuous around them.

14 Busa sila mingtu-aw kang Jehova, ug ming-ingon: Nangaliyupo kami kanimo, Oh Jehova, nangaliyupo kami kanimo, ayaw pag-itugot nga kami mangamatay tungod sa kinabuhi niining tawohanana, ug ayaw ibutang sa ibabaw namo ang dugo nga inocente; kay ikaw, Oh Jehova, nagbuhat ingon sa nahamut-an nimo.

And they called unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, let us not be lost, we pray thee, for the life of this man, and lay not upon us [the guilt of] innocent blood; for thou art the Lord, as it pleaseth thee so dost thou do.

15 Busa ilang gisakwat si Jonas, ug gitambog siya ngadto sa dagat; ug ang dagat mihunong sa iyang kabangis.

And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.

16 Unya ang mga tawo nangahadlok kang Jehova sa hilabihan gayud; ug sila nanaghalad usa ka halad kang Jehova, ug nanagpanaad sila.

And the men feared the Lord very greatly; and they offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows.

17 Ug giandam ni Jehova ang usa ka dakung isda nga molomoy kang Jonas; ug si Jonas diha sa sulod sa tiyan sa isda totolo ka adlaw ug totolo ka gabii.

And the Lord made ready a large fish to swallow up Jonah: and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
