Jonas 1
1 Karon ang pulong ni Jehova midangat kang Jonas ang anak nga lalake ni Amittai, nga nagaingon:
Now Yahweh’s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Tumindog ka, sa Ninive, kanang dakung ciudad, ug sumiggit ka batok niana; kay ang ilang pagkadautan midangat sa akong atubangan.
“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has 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 to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
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 Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
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.
Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship and he was laying 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 to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won’t perish.”
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.
They all said to each other, “Come! Let’s cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on 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 they asked him, “Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?”
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.
He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.”
10 Unya ang mga tawo nangahadlok sa hilabihan gayud, ug ming-ingon kaniya:
Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “What have you done?” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, 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.
Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?” For the sea grew more and more stormy.
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.
He said to them, “Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on 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 get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against 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.
Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, “We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you.”
15 Busa ilang gisakwat si Jonas, ug gitambog siya ngadto sa dagat; ug ang dagat mihunong sa iyang kabangis.
So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
16 Unya ang mga tawo nangahadlok kang Jehova sa hilabihan gayud; ug sila nanaghalad usa ka halad kang Jehova, ug nanagpanaad sila.
Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh 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.
Yahweh prepared a huge fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
