Jonah 1
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye ne obiro ne Jona wuod Amitai kama:
2 Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.
“Wuogi idhiyo e dala maduongʼ mar Nineve, mondo iyalne kisieme nikech timbene mamono osechopo e nyima.”
3 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.
To Jona noringo oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kochomo Tarshish. Ne olor modhi Jopa, kumane oyudoe yie mane dhi e dho wadhno. Bangʼ chulo nengo wuoth noidho mokwangʼ kodhiyo Tarshish mondo oring oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
4 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.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nooro yamo maduongʼ e nam, kendo ahiti mager notugore ma yie koro ne dwaro barore.
5 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.
Jokwangʼ duto ne luoro omako mi ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi ne oywak ne nyasache owuon. Ne gidiro mwandu duto mane gin-go e nam mondo yie odongʼ mayot. To ne oyudo Jona oselor e ot ma piny mar yie, kuma ne oriere mi nindo okwanye mogoye ngoga.
6 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.
Jatend yie nolor piny ire mowachone niya, “Mara angʼo in to inindo? Aa malo mondo iywagne nyasachi! Dipo ka oparowa, mondo kik watho.”
7 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.
Eka jokwangʼ duto nowuoyo e kindgi giwegi niya, “Bi wagouru ombulu mondo wangʼe ngʼama okelo masirani.” Negigoyo ombulu, mi ombulu nolwar kuom Jona.
8 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?
Omiyo negipenje niya, “Wachnwa ane ni en angʼo mokelonwa chandruokgi duto? En tich mane mitiyo? In japiny mane? To iwuok e oganda mane?”
9 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.
To nodwokogi niya, “An ja-Hibrania kendo alamo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach polo, mane ochweyo nam kod piny.”
10 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.
Wachno nobwogogi mine gipenjo niya, “En angʼo misetimo?” (To negingʼeyo ni oringo oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nikech ne oyudo osenyisogi kamano).
11 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.
To nam ne medo mana gingore, omiyo negipenje niya, “Watimni angʼo mondo nam okwenwa?”
12 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.
Nodwokogi niya, “Kawauru ubola e nam, eka obiro kwe. Angʼeyo ni kethona emomiyo ahiti maduongʼni osebiro kuomu.”
13 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.
Kar timo kamano, jogo ne otemo kar nyalogi mondo gikwangʼ gidogi e dho wath. To ne ok ginyal, nimar nam nomedo gingore marach moloyo kaka ne en mokwongo.
14 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.
Eka ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kiyie to kik iwewa watho kuom kawo ngima ngʼatni. Kik ikwanwa kaka joketho kuom nego ngʼama onge ketho, nimar in, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isetimo dwaroni.”
15 So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry.
Eka negikawo Jona mi gibolo e nam, kendo apaka mar nam mane ger nokwe.
16 Then great was the men's fear of the Lord; and they made an offering to the Lord and took oaths to him.
Wachni nomiyo jogo oluoro Jehova Nyasaye ahinya, mine gichiwo misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo ne gisingorene.
17 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.
To Jehova Nyasaye nokelo rech marangʼongo mondo omwony Jona, kendo Jona nenie ei rechno kuom ndalo adek odiechiengʼ gotieno.
