< Jonah 1 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,
A HIKI mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Iona, ke keiki a Amitai, i mai la,
2 Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.
E ku oe, e hele i Nineva, i kela kulanakauhale nui, e kahea aku ia ia; no ka mea, ua pii mai ko lakou hewa imua o'u.
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.
Aka, ku ae la o Iona e holo i Taresisa, mai ke alo aku o Iehova, a iho aku la i Iopa; a loaa ia ia ka moku e holo ana i Taresisa: a haawi aku ia i ka uku, a komo iho la ia iloko ona e holo pu me lakou i Taresisa mai ke alo aku o Iehova.
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.
A hoouna mai o Iehova i ka makani nui ma ke kai, a he ino nui ma ke kai, a aneane nahaha ka moku.
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.
Alaila, makau iho la na hooholo moku, a kahea aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona akua, a hoolei ka waiwai ma ka moku iloko o ke kai, e hoomama i ka moku no ia mau mea. A ua iho o Iona ilalo i ka aoao hope o ka moku, a moe iho, a ua pauhia i ka hiamoe.
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.
A hele aku ke kahu moku ia ia, a i aku la ia ia, Heaha kau, e ka mea hiamoe? e ala, e hea aku i kou Akua, malia paha e manao mai ke Akua ia kakou i make ole ai kakou.
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.
A olelo ae la lakou, kela mea keia mea i kona hoa, Ina kakou e hailona, i ike ai kakou i ka mea nona i hiki mai ai keia ino maluna o kakou. A hailona lakou, a lilo ka hailona no Iona.
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?
Alaila, i aku la lakou ia ia, Ke noi aku nei makou, e hai mai oe ia makou i ka mea nona i hiki mai ai keia ino maluna o kakou? Heaha kau oihana? Mai hea mai oe? Owai kou aina? a no ka lahuikanaka hea oe?
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.
I mai la oia ia lakou, He Hebera no wau; a ke makau nei au ia Iehova ke Akua o ka lani, nana i hana ke kai, a me ka aina maloo.
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.
Alaila, makau iho la na kanaka i ka makau nui, a i aku la ia ia, No ke aha la oe i hana mai ai i keia? No ka mea, ua ike na kanaka, ua holo ia mai ke alo aku o Iehova, no ka mea, ua hai mai kela ia lakou.
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.
Alaila, i aku la lakou ia ia, Heaha ka makou e hana aku ai ia oe, i malie iho ai ke kai no kakou? no ka mea, ua nui ae ka inoino o ke kai.
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.
A i mai la kela ia lakou, E lawe oukou ia'u, a e kiola ia'u iloko o ke kai, a e malie iho ke kai ia oukou: no ka mea, ua ike au, no'u nei i hiki mai ai keia ino nui maluna o oukou.
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.
A hoe ikaika aku la na kanaka e hoi hou i ka aina; aole lakou e hiki: no ka mea, ua nui ae ka inoino o ke kai ia lakou.
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.
No ia mea, kahea aku la lakou ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei makou ia oe, e Iehova, ke noi aku nei makou, mai lukuia makou no ke ola o keia kanaka, a mai hoopai ia makou i ke koko hala ole: no ka mea, ua hana mai oe, e Iehova, e like me kou makemake.
15 So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry.
Nolaila, kaikai ae la lakou ia Iona a kiola aku la ia ia iloko o ke kai: e malie iho la ke kai mai kona kupikipikio ana.
16 Then great was the men's fear of the Lord; and they made an offering to the Lord and took oaths to him.
Alaila, makau nui loa iho la na kanaka ia Iehova, a kaumaha aku lakou i mohai ia Iehova, a hoohiki i na hoohiki ana.
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.
A ua hoomakaukau o Iehova i ia nui e ale iho ia Iona. A ekolu ao, a ekolu po o Iona ileko o ka opu o ka ia.
