Jonáš 1
1 I stalo se slovo Hospodinovo k Jonášovi synu Amaty, řkoucí:
And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Vstaň, jdi do Ninive města toho velikého, a volej proti němu; neboť jest vstoupila nešlechetnost jejich před oblíčej můj.
Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.
3 Ale Jonáš vstal, aby utekl do Tarsu od tváři Hospodinovy. A přišed do Joppe, našel lodí, ana jde do Tarsu, a zaplativ od ní, vstoupil na ni, aby se plavil s nimi do Tarsu od tváři Hospodinovy.
And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.
4 Ale Hospodin vzbudil vítr veliký na moři. I stala se bouře veliká na moři, až se domnívali, že se lodí ztroskoce.
And the Lord sent out a great wind on to the sea and there was a violent storm in the sea, so that the ship seemed in danger of being broken.
5 A bojíce se plavci, volali jeden každý k bohu svému, a vyhazovali to, což měli na lodí, do moře, aby sobě tím polehčili. Jonáš pak byl sešel k bokům lodí, a položiv se, spal tvrdě.
Then the sailors were full of fear, every man crying to his god; and the goods in the ship were dropped out into the sea to make the weight less. But Jonah had gone down into the inmost part of the ship where he was stretched out in a deep sleep.
6 Tedy přišed k němu správce lodí, řekl jemu: Což ty děláš, ospalče? Vstaň, volej k Bohu svému. Snad ten Bůh rozpomene se na nás, abychom nezahynuli.
And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.
7 I řekli jeden druhému: Poďte, vrzme losy, abychom zvěděli, pro koho to zlé přišlo na nás. Tedy metali losy, a padl los na Jonáše.
And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man.
8 I řekli jemu: Pověz nám medle, pro koho toto zlé na nás? Jaký jest obchod tvůj, a odkud jdeš? Z které jsi země a z kterého národu?
Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people?
9 I řekl jim: Hebrejský jsem, a Hospodina Boha nebes, kterýž učinil moře i zemi, já ctím.
And he said to them, I am a Hebrew, a worshipper of the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.
10 Pročež báli se ti muži bázní velikou, a dověděvše se muži ti, že od tváři Hospodinovy utíká, (nebo jim byl oznámil, ) řekli jemu: Což jsi to učinil?
And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them.
11 Řekli ještě k němu: Což máme učiniti s tebou, aby se moře spokojilo? (Nebo moře vždy více a více bouřilo se.)
And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.
12 Jimžto řekl: Vezměte mne, a uvrzte mne do moře, a utichne moře před vámi; nebo já vím, že příčinou mou bouře tato veliká jest proti vám.
And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you.
13 Ale muži ti statečně táhli, chtíce k břehu přistati, však nemohli; nebo moře vždy více a více se bouřilo proti nim.
And the men were working hard to get back to the land, but they were not able to do so: for the sea got rougher and rougher against them.
14 I zvolali k Hospodinu, řkouce: Prosímeť, ó Hospodine, abychom nezahynuli pro smrt člověka tohoto, aniž na nás vyhledávej krve nevinné; nebo ty, ó Hospodine, jakž chceš, tak činíš.
So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.
15 Tedy vzavše Jonáše, uvrhli ho do moře. I přestalo moře bouřiti se.
So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry.
16 Pročež báli se muži ti bázní velikou Hospodina, a obětovali obět Hospodinu, a sliby činili.
Then great was the men's fear of the Lord; and they made an offering to the Lord and took oaths to him.
17 Nastrojil pak byl Hospodin rybu velikou, aby požřela Jonáše. I byl Jonáš v střevách té ryby tři dni a tři noci.
And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.
