Jonah 1
1 The worde of the Lord came also vnto Ionah the sonne of Amittai, saying,
Riječ Jahvina dođe Joni, sinu Amitajevu:
2 Arise, and goe to Nineueh, that great citie, and crye against it: for their wickednesse is come vp before mee.
“Ustani,” reče mu, “idi u Ninivu, grad veliki, i propovijedaj u njemu, jer se zloća njihova popela do mene.”
3 But Ionah rose vp to flee into Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went downe to Iapho: and he founde a ship going to Tarshish: so he payed the fare thereof, and went downe into it, that he might go with them vnto Tarshish, from the presence of the Lord.
A Jona ustade da pobjegne u Taršiš, daleko od Jahve. Siđe u Jafu i nađe lađu što je plovila u Taršiš. Plati vozarinu i ukrca se da otplovi s njima u Taršiš, daleko od Jahve.
4 But the Lord sent out a great winde into the sea, and there was a mightie tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
Ali Jahve podiže na moru silan vjetar i nastade nevrijeme veliko na moru te mišljahu da će se lađa razbiti.
5 Then the mariners were afraide, and cryed euery man vnto his God, and cast the wares that were in the ship, into the sea to lighten it of the: but Ionah was gone downe into the sides of the ship, and he lay downe, and was fast a sleepe.
Uplašiše se mornari; svaki zazva svoga boga, i da bi je olakšali, stadoše iz lađe bacati tovar što bijaše u njoj. Jona pak bijaše sišao na dno lađe, legao i zaspao tvrdim snom.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and saide vnto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call vpon thy God, if so be that God wil thinke vpon vs, that we perish not.
Zapovjednik lađe pristupi mu i reče: “Što spavaš kao zaklan? Ustaj i prizivlji Boga svojega! Možda će nas se sjetiti Bog taj da ne poginemo.”
7 And they saide euery one to his fellowe, Come, and let vs cast lottes, that we may know, for whose cause this euill is vpon vs. So they cast lottes, and the lot fell vpon Ionah.
Potom rekoše jedni drugima: “Hajde da bacimo ždrijeb da vidimo od koga nam dođe ovo zlo.” Baciše ždrijeb i pade ždrijeb na Jonu.
8 Then said they vnto him, Tell vs for whose cause this euill is vpon vs? what is thine occupation? and whence commest thou? which is thy countrey? and of what people art thou?
Oni mu onda rekoše: “Kaži nam: zbog koga nas ovo zlo snađe, kojim se poslom baviš, odakle dolaziš, iz koje si zemlje i od kojega naroda?”
9 And he answered them, I am an Ebrewe, and I feare the Lord God of heauen, which hath made the sea, and the dry lande.
On im odgovori: “Ja sam Hebrej, i štujem Jahvu, Boga nebeskoga, koji stvori more i zemlju.”
10 Then were the men exceedingly afrayde, and said vnto him, Why hast thou done this? (for the men knewe, that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had tolde them)
Ljudi se uplašiše veoma i rekoše mu: “Što si to učinio!” Jer bijahu doznali da on bježi od Jahve - sam im je to pripovjedio.
11 Then saide they vnto him, What shall we doe vnto thee, that the sea may be calme vnto vs? (for the sea wrought and was troublous)
Oni ga zapitaše: “Što da učinimo s tobom da nam se more smiri?” Jer se more sve bješnje dizalo.
12 And he said vnto them, Take me, and cast me into the sea: so shall the sea be calme vnto you: for I knowe that for my sake this great tempest is vpon you.
On im odgovori: “Uzmite me i bacite u more, pa će vam se more smiriti, jer znam da se zbog mene diglo na vas ovo veliko nevrijeme.”
13 Neuerthelesse, the men rowed to bring it to the lande, but they coulde not: for the sea wrought, and was troublous against them.
Ljudi uzeše veslati ne bi li se primakli kopnu, jer se more sve bješnje dizalo protiv njih.
14 Wherefore they cryed vnto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let vs not perish for this mans life, and lay not vpon vs innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done, as it pleased thee.
Tad zazvaše Jahvu i rekoše: “Ah, Jahve, ne daj da poginemo zbog života ovoga čovjeka i ne svali na nas krv nevinu, jer ti si Jahve: činiš kako ti je milo.”
15 So they tooke vp Ionah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from her raging.
I uzevši Jonu, baciše ga u more - i more presta bjesnjeti.
16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice vnto the Lord, and made vowes.
Tada velik strah Jahvin obuze ljude te prinesoše žrtvu Jahvi i učiniše zavjete.
17 Nowe the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallowe vp Ionah: and Ionah was in the belly of the fish three dayes, and three nightes.
Jahve zapovjedi velikoj ribi da proguta Jonu. Tri dana i tri noći ostade Jona u ribljoj utrobi.
