< Jonah 1 >

1 Now the LORD’s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Ita, ti sao ni Yahweh ket immay kenni Jonas nga anak a lalaki ni Amittai, kinunana,
2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.”
“Agrubbuatka ket mapanka idiay Nineve, ti dakkel a siudad ket agsaoka ti maibusor iti daytoy, gapu ta dimmanon kaniak ti kinadakesda.”
3 But Jonah rose up 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 its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
Ngem nagrubbuat ni Jonas a mapan idiay Tarsis tapno itarayanna ti imatang ni Yahweh. Simmalog isuna idiay Joppe ket nakasarak iti barko nga agturong idiay Tarsis. Binayadanna ngarud ti pletena ket naglugan iti barko tapno kumuyog kadakuada nga agturong idiay Tarsis, adayo iti imatang ni Yahweh.
4 But the LORD 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.
Ngem imbulos ni Yahweh ti napigsa nga angin iti taaw ket nagbalin daytoy a napigsa a bagyo. Nganngani marba ti barko.
5 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.
Nagbuteng unay dagiti tripulante ket immawag ti tunggal lalaki iti bukodna a dios. Impurruakda dagiti karga ti barko iti taaw tapno lumag-an daytoy. Ngem adda ni Jonas iti kaunegan a kadsaaran ti barko ken agid-idda sadiay a narnekan ti turogna.
6 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 will not perish.”
Isu nga immay ti kapitan kenkuana ket kinunana, Ania ti ar-aramidem, matmaturog? Bumangonka! Awagam ti diosmo! Bareng no makitanatayo ti diosmo ket saantayo a matay.”
7 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.
Kinunada iti tunggal maysa, “Umaykayo, agbibinnunottayo, tapno maammoantayo no siasino ti nakaigapuan daytoy dakes a mapaspasamak kadatayo.” Isu a nagbibinnunotda ket nabunot ti nagan ni Jonas.
8 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?”
Ket kinunada kenni Jonas, “Pangaasim ta ibagam kadakami no siasino ti nakaigapuan daytoy dakes a mapaspasamak kadatayo. Ania ti trabahom ken sadino ti naggapuam? Ania ti pagiliam ken ania a puli ti nagtaudam?”
9 He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.”
Kinuna ni Jonas kadakuada, “Maysaak a Hebreo; ket agbutengak kenni Yahweh, ti Dios ti langit, a nangaramid iti taaw ken ti daga.”
10 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 the LORD, because he had told them.
Ad-adda ngarud a nagbuteng dagiti lallaki ket kinunada kenni Jonas, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo?” Ta ammo dagiti lallaki nga itartarayanna ti imatang ni Yahweh, gapu ta imbagana kadakuada.
11 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.
Ket kinunada kenni Jonas, “Ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenmi kenka tapno agtalna ti taaw kadatayo?” Ta ad-adda a dimmawel ti taaw.
12 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.”
Kinuna ni Jonas kadakuada, “Bagkatendak ket ipurruakdak iti taaw. Ket agkalmanto ti taaw kadakayo, ta ammok a gapu kaniak a mapaspasamak daytoy napigsa a bagyo.”
13 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.
Nupay kasta, naggaud ti kasta unay dagiti lallaki tapno makasublida iti daga, ngem saanda a maaramid daytoy gapu ta ad-adda a dumawdawel ti taaw a maibusor kadakuada.
14 Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, “We beg you, LORD, we beg you, do not let us die for this man’s life, and do not lay on us innocent blood; for you, LORD, have done as it pleased you.”
Ngarud, immawagda kenni Yahweh ket kinunada, “Agpakpakaasikami kenka Yahweh, agpakpakaasikami kenka, saanmo nga ipalubos a mataykami maigapu iti biag daytoy a lalaki, ken saanmo nga ipabasol kadakami ti ipapatayna, gapu ta sika, Yahweh, inaramidmo laeng ti makaay-ayo kenka.”
15 So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
Binagkatda ngarud ni Jonas ket impuruakda iti taaw, ket nagsardeng ti kinadawel ti taaw. Ket kasta unay ti buteng dagiti lallaki kenni Yahweh.
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
Nangidatagda iti daton kenni Yahweh ken nagsapatada.
17 The LORD prepared a huge fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Ita, nangisagana ni Yahweh iti dakkel nga ikan a mangalun-on kenni Jonas ket adda ni Jonas iti tian ti ikan iti tallo nga aldaw ken tallo a rabii.
