Jonah 1

1 The worde of the Lord came also vnto Ionah the sonne of Amittai, saying,

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

2 Arise, and goe to Nineueh, that great citie, and crye against it: for their wickednesse is come vp before mee.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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?

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 answered them, I am an Ebrewe, and I feare the Lord God of heauen, which hath made the sea, and the dry lande.

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

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)

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 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)

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 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.

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 Neuerthelesse, the men rowed to bring it to the lande, but they coulde not: for the sea wrought, and was troublous 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 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.

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 tooke vp Ionah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from her raging.

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

16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice vnto the Lord, and made vowes.

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 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.

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.
