Jonah 1
1 Now the word of Jehovah came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Karon ang pulong ni Yahweh gipadayag kang Jonas nga anak ni Amitai, nga nagaingon,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.
“Tindog ug adto sa Ninebe, kadtong bantogan nga siyudad, ug pagpamulong batok niini, tungod kay ang ilang pagkadaotan midangat na kanako.”
3 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. So he paid the fare of it, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah.
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.
4 But Jehovah sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken.
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.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god. And they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it to them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he lay, and was fast asleep.
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.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What do thou mean, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we not perish.
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.”
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
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.
8 Then they said to him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us. What is thine occupation? And from where do thou come? What is thy country, and of what people are thou?
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?”
9 And he said to them, I am a Hebrew, and I fear Jehovah, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.
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.”
10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, What is this that thou have done? For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Jehovah, because he had told them.
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.
11 Then they said to him, What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
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.
12 And he said to them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea, so shall the sea be calm to you. For I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
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.”
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get themselves back to the land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
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.
14 Therefore they cried to Jehovah, and said, We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood. For thou, O Jehovah, have done as it pleased thee.
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.”
15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.
Busa ilang gialsa si Jonas ug gitambog sa dagat ug ang dagat miundang sa kabangis. Unya nahadlok pag-ayo ang mga tawo kang Yahweh.
16 Then the men feared Jehovah exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to Jehovah, and made vows.
Naghatag sila ug mga halad kang Yahweh ug naghimo ug mga pagpakigsaad.
17 And Jehovah prepared a great sea creature to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the sea creature three days and three nights.
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.
