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 Rise and go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach in it. For its malice has ascended before my eyes.
“Wuogi idhiyo e dala maduongʼ mar Nineve, mondo iyalne kisieme nikech timbene mamono osechopo e nyima.”
3 And Jonah rose in order to flee from the face of the Lord to Tarshish. And he went down to Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. And he paid its fare, and he went down into it, in order to go with them to Tarshish from the face of 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 But the Lord sent a great wind into the sea. And a great tempest took place in the sea, and the ship was in danger of being crushed.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nooro yamo maduongʼ e nam, kendo ahiti mager notugore ma yie koro ne dwaro barore.
5 And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried out to their god. And they threw the containers that were in the ship into the sea in order to lighten it of them. And Jonah went down into the interior of the ship, and he fell into a painful 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 helmsman approached him, and he said to him, “Why are you weighed down with sleep? Rise, call upon your God, so perhaps God will be mindful of us and we might not perish.”
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 a man said to his shipmate, “Come, and let us cast lots, so that we may know why this disaster is upon us.” And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
Eka jokwangʼ duto nowuoyo e kindgi giwegi niya, “Bi wagouru ombulu mondo wangʼe ngʼama okelo masirani.” Negigoyo ombulu, mi ombulu nolwar kuom Jona.
8 And they said to him: “Explain to us what is the reason that this disaster is upon us. What is your work? Which is your country? And where are you going? Or which people are you from?”
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 Hebrew, and I fear the Lord 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 greatly afraid, and they said to him, “Why have you done this?” (For the men knew that he was fleeing from the face of the Lord, because he had told 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 with you, so that the sea will cease for us?” For the sea flowed and swelled.
To nam ne medo mana gingore, omiyo negipenje niya, “Watimni angʼo mondo nam okwenwa?”
12 And he said to them, “Take me, and cast me into the sea, and the sea will cease for you. For I know that it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you.”
Nodwokogi niya, “Kawauru ubola e nam, eka obiro kwe. Angʼeyo ni kethona emomiyo ahiti maduongʼni osebiro kuomu.”
13 And the men were rowing, so as to return to dry land, but they did not succeed. For the sea flowed and swelled 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 And they cried out to the Lord, and they said, “We beseech you, Lord, do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not attribute to us innocent blood. For you, Lord, have done just as it pleased 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 And they took Jonah and cast him into the sea. And the sea was stilled from its fury.
Eka negikawo Jona mi gibolo e nam, kendo apaka mar nam mane ger nokwe.
16 And the men feared the Lord greatly, and they sacrificed victims to the Lord, and they made vows.
Wachni nomiyo jogo oluoro Jehova Nyasaye ahinya, mine gichiwo misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo ne gisingorene.
17 And the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of 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.
