Jonah 1
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying:
Doðe rijeè Gospodnja Joni sinu Amatijevu govoreæi:
2 Rise and go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach in it. For its malice has ascended before my eyes.
Ustani, idi u Nineviju grad veliki, i propovijedaj protiv njega, jer izaðe zloæa njihova preda me.
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.
A Jona usta da bježi u Tarsis od Gospoda, i sišav u Jopu naðe laðu koja iðaše u Tarsis, i plativ vozarinu uðe u nju da otide s njima u Tarsis od Gospoda.
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.
Ali Gospod podiže velik vjetar na moru, i posta velika bura na moru da mišljahu da æe se razbiti laða.
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.
I laðari uplašivši se prizivahu svaki svojega boga, i bacahu što bješe u laði u more da bi bila lakša; a Jona bješe sišao na dno laði, i legav spavaše tvrdo.
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.”
A upravitelj od laðe pristupi k njemu i reèe mu: šta ti spavaš! ustani, prizivaj Boga svojega, ne bi li nas se opomenuo Bog da ne poginemo.
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.
Potom rekoše jedan drugome: hodite, da bacimo ždrijeb da vidimo sa koga doðe na nas ovo zlo. I baciše ždrijeb, i pade ždrijeb na Jonu.
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?”
Tada mu rekoše: kaži nam zašto doðe ovo zlo na nas; koje si radnje? i odakle ideš? iz koje si zemlje? i od koga si naroda?
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.”
A on im reèe: Jevrejin sam, i bojim se Gospoda Boga nebeskoga, koji je stvorio more i suhu zemlju.
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.)
Tada se vrlo uplašiše ljudi, i rekoše mu: što si uèinio? Jer doznaše ljudi da bježi od Gospoda, jer im on kaza.
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.
I rekoše mu: što æemo èiniti s tobom, da bi nam more utolilo? Jer bura na moru bivaše sve veæa.
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.”
A on im reèe: uzmite me i bacite me u more, i more æe vam utoliti, jer vidim da je s mene došla na vas ova velika bura.
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.
A ljudi stadoše veslati da bi došli ka kraju; ali ne mogahu, jer im bura na moru bivaše sve veæa.
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.”
Tada prizvaše Gospoda i rekoše: molimo ti se, Gospode, da ne poginemo radi duše ovoga èovjeka, i nemoj metnuti na nas krvi prave, jer ti, Gospode, èiniš kako hoæeš.
15 And they took Jonah and cast him into the sea. And the sea was stilled from its fury.
Potom uzeše Jonu i baciše ga u more, i presta bura na moru.
16 And the men feared the Lord greatly, and they sacrificed victims to the Lord, and they made vows.
Tada se pobojaše oni ljudi Gospoda vrlo, i prinesoše žrtvu Gospodu i uèiniše zavjete.
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.
A Gospod zapovjedi, te velika riba proguta Jonu; i Jona bi u trbuhu ribljem tri dana i tri noæi.
