Jonas 1
1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying,
Дође реч Господња Јони, сину Аматијевом говорећи:
2 Rise, and go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it; for the cry of its wickedness is come up to me.
Устани, иди у Ниневију град велики, и проповедај против њега, јер изађе злоћа њихова преда ме.
3 But Jonas rose up to flee to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord. And he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid his fare, and went up into it, to sail with them to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord.
А Јона уста да бежи у Тарсис од Господа, и сишав у Јопу нађе лађу која иђаше у Тарсис и платив возарину уђе у њу да отиде с њима у Тарсис од Господа.
4 And the Lord raised up a wind on the sea; and there was a great storm on the sea, and the ship was in danger of being broken.
Али Господ подиже велик ветар на мору, и поста велика бура на мору да мишљаху да ће се разбити лађа.
5 And the sailors were alarmed, and cried every one to his god, and cast out the wares that were in the ship into the sea, that it might be lightened of them. But Jonas was gone down into the hold of the ship, and was asleep, and snored.
И лађари уплашивши се призиваху сваки свог бога, и бацаху шта беше у лађи у море да би била лакша; а Јона беше сишао на дно лађи, и легав спаваше тврдо.
6 And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, Why snore you? arise, and call upon your God, that God may save us, and we perish not.
А управитељ од лађе приступи к њему и рече му: Шта ти спаваш! Устани, призивај Бога свог, не би ли нас се опоменуо Бог да не погинемо.
7 And each man said to his neighbor, Come, let us cast lots, and find out for whose sake this mischief is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.
Потом рекоше један другом: Ходите, да бацимо жреб да видимо са кога дође на нас ово зло. И бацише жреб, и паде жреб на Јону.
8 And they said to him, Tell us what is your occupation, and whence come you, and of what country and what people are you?
Тада му рекоше: Кажи нам зашто дође ово зло на нас; које си радње? И одакле идеш? Из које си земље? И од кога си народа?
9 And he said to them, I am a servant of the Lord; and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea, and the dry [land].
А он им рече: Јеврејин сам, и бојим се Господа Бога небеског, који је створио море и суву земљу.
10 Then the men feared exceedingly, and said to him, What is this [that] you have done? for the men knew that he was fleeing from the face of the Lord, because he had told them.
Тада се врло уплашише људи, и рекоше му: Шта си учинио? Јер дознаше људи да бежи од Господа, јер им он каза.
11 And they said to him, What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea rose, and lifted its wave exceedingly.
И рекоше му: Шта ћемо чинити с тобом, да би нам море утолило? Јер бура на мору биваше све већа.
12 And Jonas said to them, Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
А он им рече: Узмите ме и баците ме у море, и море ће вам утолити, јер видим да је с мене дошла на вас ова велика бура.
13 And the men tried hard to return to the land, and were not able: for the sea rose and grew more and more tempestuous against them.
А људи стадоше веслати да би дошли ка крају; али не могаху, јер им бура на мору биваше све већа.
14 And they cried to the Lord, and said, Forbid it, Lord: let us not perish for the sake of this man's life, and bring not righteous blood upon us: for you, Lord, have done as you would.
Тада призваше Господа и рекоше: Молимо Ти се, Господе, да не погинемо ради душе овог човека, и немој метнути на нас крв праву, јер Ти, Господе, чиниш како хоћеш.
15 So they took Jonas, and cast him out into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.
Потом узеше Јону и бацише га у море, и преста бура на мору.
16 And the men feared the Lord very greatly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord, and vowed vows.
Тада се побојаше они људи Господа врло, и принесоше жртву Господу и учинише завете.
17 Now the Lord had commanded a great whale to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights.
Али Господ заповеди, те велика риба прогута Јону; и Јона би у трбуху рибљем три дана и три ноћи.
