Jonah 1
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying:
Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Jonu, Amitajus dēlu, sacīdams:
2 Rise and go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach in it. For its malice has ascended before my eyes.
Celies, ej uz Ninivi, to lielo pilsētu, un sludini pret to, jo viņas bezdievība ir uzkāpusi Manā priekšā.
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.
Bet Jona cēlās, bēgt no Tā Kunga vaiga uz Taršišu; un viņš nogāja uz Joppi un tur atrada laivu, kas gāja uz Taršišu, un nodeva maksu un kāpa iekšā, ar tiem braukt uz Taršišu, nost no Tā Kunga vaiga.
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.
Bet Tas Kungs lika nākt lielam vējam jūrā, un liela vētra cēlās jūrā, tā ka tā laiva taisījās lūst.
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.
Tad tie laivinieki bijās un kliedza ikviens uz savu dievu un meta tos rīkus, kas laivā bija, jūrā, laivu atvieglināt no tiem. Bet Jona bija nogājis laivas apakšā un gulēja cietā miegā.
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.”
Tad laivas virsnieks pie viņa nāca un uz viņu sacīja: ko tu guli? Celies, piesauc savu Dievu, varbūt ka tas Dievs mūs pieminēs, ka mēs neejam bojā.
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.
Un tie sacīja cits uz citu: iesim, metīsim meslus(lozes), lai zinām, kura dēļ šis ļaunums mums uziet? Un kad tie mesloja, tad Jona tapa iezīmēts.
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?”
Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: saki mums jel, kādēļ šis ļaunums pār mums nāk? Kāds tavs amats un no kurienes tu nāci? Kura ir tava zeme, un no kuras tautas tu esi?
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.”
Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: es esmu Ebrejs un bīstos To Kungu, to debes' Dievu, kas jūru un sausumu radījis.
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.)
Tad tie vīri bijās ar lielu bijāšanu un uz viņu sacīja: kā tu tā esi darījis? Jo tie vīri zināja, ka viņš no Tā Kunga vaiga bēga, jo viņš tiem to bija stāstījis.
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.
Un tie uz viņu sacīja: ko lai mēs ar tevi darām, ka jūra mums nostājās? Jo jūra palika arvienu briesmīgāka.
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.”
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: ņemiet mani un metiet mani jūrā, tad jūra jums nostāsies; jo es zinu, ka šī lielā vētra pār jums nāk manis dēļ.
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.
Bet tie vīri airēja un gribēja laivu vest malā, bet tie neiespēja, jo jūra palika arvienu briesmīgāka.
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.”
Tad tie piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: ak Kungs, lai jel mēs neejam bojā šā vīra dvēseles dēļ, un nepielīdzini mums nenoziedzīgas asinis, jo Tu, Kungs, esi darījis, kā Tev bija pa prātam.
15 And they took Jonah and cast him into the sea. And the sea was stilled from its fury.
Un tie ņēma Jonu un viņu iemeta jūrā; tad jūra nostājās no savas kaukšanas.
16 And the men feared the Lord greatly, and they sacrificed victims to the Lord, and they made vows.
Tad tie vīri bijās To Kungu ar lielu bijāšanu un upurēja Tam Kungam upurus un solīja solījumus.
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.
Un Tas Kungs sūtīja lielu zivi, Jonu aprīt, un Jona sabija tās zivs vēderā trīs dienas un trīs naktis.
