Jonas 1

1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying,

Sie len ah LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Jonah, wen natul Amittai.

2 Rise, and go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it; for the cry of its wickedness is come up to me.

El fahk, “Fahla nu Nineveh, siti lulap sac, ac fahkak nu sin mwet we lah nga arulana etu lupan koluk lalos.”

3 But Jonas rose up to flee to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord. And he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid his fare, and went up into it, to sail with them to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord.

Tusruktu Jonah el mukuiyak ac som nu siena acn elan kaingla liki LEUM GOD. El som nu Joppa ac konauk lah oasr oak soko akola in som nu Tarshish. El molella nu fin oak uh ac sroang in som nu Tarshish, wi mwet orekma fin oak uh, in kaingla nu ke sie acn loes liki LEUM GOD.

4 And the Lord raised up a wind on the sea; and there was a great storm on the sea, and the ship was in danger of being broken.

Tuh LEUM GOD El supwala sie paka nu meoa, ac eng uh arulana upa pwanang oak soko ah apkuran in musalla.

5 And the sailors were alarmed, and cried every one to his god, and cast out the wares that were in the ship into the sea, that it might be lightened of them. But Jonas was gone down into the hold of the ship, and was asleep, and snored.

Selu fin oak uh tuninfongla, ac kais sie selos wowoyak in suk kasru sin god lal sifacna. Na elos sis koanon oak uh nu in meoa uh in akmulalaye oak uh. In pacl se inge Jonah el fani nu ten ac ona motul folosuwosla.

6 And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, Why snorest thou? arise, and call upon thy God, that God may save us, and we perish not.

Captain lun oak uh liyalak ac fahk nu sel, “Efu kom ku motul? Tukakek ac pre nu sin god lom. Sahp el ac pakomutasr ac molikutla.”

7 And each man said to his neighbour, Come, let us cast lots, and find out for whose sake this mischief is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.

Na selu ah fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Wona kut in susfa in konauk lah su pwanma mwe fosrnga inge nu sesr uh.” Elos orala fa uh, na inel Jonah fwacfeyak.

8 And they said to him, Tell us what is thine occupation, and whence comest thou, and of what country and what people art thou?

Na elos fahk nu sel, “Mea kom oru inge uh? Kom tuku ya me? Kom mwet ya? Ya kom pa pwanang ma sikyak inge uh?”

9 And he said to them, I am a servant of the Lord; and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea, and the dry [land].

Jonah el topuk, “Nga mwet Hebrew. Nga alu nu sin LEUM GOD, God inkusrao, su orala acn ac meoa uh.”

10 Then the men feared exceedingly, and said to him, What is this [that] thou hast done? for the men knew that he was fleeing from the face of the Lord, because he had told them.

Jonah el fahk pac nu selos lah el kaing liki LEUM GOD. Mwet fin oak uh arulana sangengla ac fahk nu sel, “Ma na koluk se pa kom oru ingan!”

11 And they said to him, What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea rose, and lifted its wave exceedingly.

Ac ke paka uh sifilpa upala liki meet ah, mwet fin oak uh siyuk sel, “Mea kut ac oru nu sum in kutongya paka uh?”

12 And Jonas said to them, Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

Jonah el topuk, “Sisyula nu in meoa uh na ac fah mihsi. Nga etu lah nga pa pwanang kowos sun eng na upa se inge.”

13 And the men tried hard to return to the land, and were not able: for the sea rose and grew more and more tempestuous against them.

Elos tia sisella, a elos srike na ke kuiyalos in kalang nu weacn uh, tuh elos tia ku mweyen paka uh upala liki na meet.

14 And they cried to the Lord, and said, Forbid it, Lord: let us not perish for the sake of this man's life, and bring not righteous blood upon us: for thou, Lord, hast done as thou wouldest.

Na elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, kut siyuk, nikmet eisla moul lasr ke kut ac eisla moul lun mwet se inge! Kom, O LEUM GOD, pa pwanang ma inge nukewa. Ma inge kut ac oru fal nu ke lungse lom.”

15 So they took Jonas, and cast him out into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.

Na elos sraklalak Jonah ac sisella nu in meoa, na eng uh tui in kitin pacl ah na.

16 And the men feared the Lord very greatly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord, and vowed vows.

Ma se inge oru mwet fin oak uh arulana sangeng sin LEUM GOD, pwanang elos oru sie mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD, ac wulela mu elos ac kulansap nu sel.

17 Now the Lord had commanded a great whale to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights.

Ac LEUM GOD El oru tuh soko ik lulap in okomulla Jonah, ac el muta insien ik soko ah ke len tolu ac fong tolu.
