Jonah 1
1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
Doðe rijeè Gospodnja Joni sinu Amatijevu govoreæi:
2 “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before Me.”
Ustani, idi u Nineviju grad veliki, i propovijedaj protiv njega, jer izaðe zloæa njihova preda me.
3 Jonah, however, got up to flee to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard to sail for Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.
A Jona usta da bježi u Tarsis od Gospoda, i sišav u Jopu naðe laðu koja iðaše u Tarsis, i plativ vozarinu uðe u nju da otide s njima u Tarsis od Gospoda.
4 Then the LORD hurled a great wind upon the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship was in danger of breaking apart.
Ali Gospod podiže velik vjetar na moru, i posta velika bura na moru da mišljahu da æe se razbiti laða.
5 The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down to the lowest part of the vessel, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
I laðari uplašivši se prizivahu svaki svojega boga, i bacahu što bješe u laði u more da bi bila lakša; a Jona bješe sišao na dno laði, i legav spavaše tvrdo.
6 The captain approached him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call upon your God. Perhaps this God will consider us, so that we may not perish.”
A upravitelj od laðe pristupi k njemu i reèe mu: šta ti spavaš! ustani, prizivaj Boga svojega, ne bi li nas se opomenuo Bog da ne poginemo.
7 “Come!” said the sailors to one another. “Let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity that is upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
Potom rekoše jedan drugome: hodite, da bacimo ždrijeb da vidimo sa koga doðe na nas ovo zlo. I baciše ždrijeb, i pade ždrijeb na Jonu.
8 “Tell us now,” they demanded, “who is to blame for this calamity that is upon us? What is your occupation, and where have you come from? What is your country, and who are your people?”
Tada mu rekoše: kaži nam zašto doðe ovo zlo na nas; koje si radnje? i odakle ideš? iz koje si zemlje? i od koga si naroda?
9 “I am a Hebrew,” replied Jonah. “I worship the LORD, the God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”
A on im reèe: Jevrejin sam, i bojim se Gospoda Boga nebeskoga, koji je stvorio more i suhu zemlju.
10 Then the men were even more afraid and said to him, “What have you done?” The men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
Tada se vrlo uplašiše ljudi, i rekoše mu: što si uèinio? Jer doznaše ljudi da bježi od Gospoda, jer im on kaza.
11 Now the sea was growing worse and worse, so they said to Jonah, “What must we do to you to calm this sea for us?”
I rekoše mu: što æemo èiniti s tobom, da bi nam more utolilo? Jer bura na moru bivaše sve veæa.
12 “Pick me up,” he answered, “and cast me into the sea, so it may quiet down for you. For I know that I am to blame for this violent storm that has come upon you.”
A on im reèe: uzmite me i bacite me u more, i more æe vam utoliti, jer vidim da je s mene došla na vas ova velika bura.
13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea was raging against them more and more.
A ljudi stadoše veslati da bi došli ka kraju; ali ne mogahu, jer im bura na moru bivaše sve veæa.
14 So they cried out to the LORD: “Please, O LORD, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life! Do not charge us with innocent blood! For You, O LORD, have done as You pleased.”
Tada prizvaše Gospoda i rekoše: molimo ti se, Gospode, da ne poginemo radi duše ovoga èovjeka, i nemoj metnuti na nas krvi prave, jer ti, Gospode, èiniš kako hoæeš.
15 At this, they picked up Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the raging sea grew calm.
Potom uzeše Jonu i baciše ga u more, i presta bura na moru.
16 Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to Him.
Tada se pobojaše oni ljudi Gospoda vrlo, i prinesoše žrtvu Gospodu i uèiniše zavjete.
17 Now the LORD had appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the fish.
A Gospod zapovjedi, te velika riba proguta Jonu; i Jona bi u trbuhu ribljem tri dana i tri noæi.
