Jonas 1
1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Yoonaas ilma Amitaayi dhufe:
2 Rise, and go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it; for the cry of its wickedness is come up to me.
“Sababii hamminni ishee fuula koo dura dhufeef, gara Nanawwee magaalaa guddittii dhaqiitii isheedhaan mormuudhaan itti lallabi.”
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.
Yoonaas garuu Waaqayyo duraa baqatee Tarshiishitti qajeele. Innis Yoopheetti gad buʼee doonii gara Tarshiish deemu tokko argate. Erga gatii geejjibaa baasee booddee Waaqayyo duraa miliquuf jedhee doonii yaabbatee Tarshiishitti imale.
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.
Waaqayyo bubbee jabaa tokko galaanatti erge; dambaliin akka malee jabaan tokko kaanaan dooniin sun gargar caccabuu gaʼe.
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.
Warri doonii sana oofan hundinuu akka malee sodaatanii tokkoon tokkoon isaanii waaqa isaaniitti iyyatan. Isaanis baʼaa xinneessuuf jedhanii doonii irraa feʼiisa galaanatti gad dadarbatan. Yoonaas garuu garaa doonii seenee ciisee achitti hirribni guddaan isa qabe.
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.
Ajajaan doonii sanaa gara isaa dhufee, “Ati akkam akkas rafuu dandeessa? Kaʼii waaqa kee waammadhu! Tarii inni nuu dhagaʼee nus duʼa oolla taʼaatii” jedheen.
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.
Warri doonii oofanis, “Kottaa nama balaa kana nutti fide beekuuf ixaa buufannaatii” waliin jedhan. Isaan ixaa buufannaan ixaan sun Yoonaas irra buʼe.
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?
Kanaafuu isaan, “Mee nutti himi; namni balaa nutti dhufe kana hundaaf itti gaafatamu eenyu? Hojiin kee maali? Ati eessaa dhufte? Biyyi kee eessa? Ati saba kam keessaa dhalatte?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
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].
Innis, “Ani Ibricha Waaqayyo, Waaqa isa samii, galaanaa fi lafa uume sana waaqeffatuu dha” jedhee deebise.
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.
Wanni kun isaan sodaachisnaan, “Ati maal goote?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Isaanis sababii inni duraanuu isaanitti himeef akka inni Waaqayyo duraa miliquuf baqachuutti jiru beekan.
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.
Galaanni sunis ittuma caalchisee raafamaa dhufe. Kanaafuu isaan, “Nu amma galaana kana tasgabbeessuuf maal si gochuu qabna?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
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.
Innis, “Ol na fuudhaatii galaanatti na darbadhaa; ergasii galaanichi gab jedha. Ani akka dhaʼaan galaanaa hamaan kun sababii balleessaa kootiitiif dhufe nan beeka” jedhee deebise.
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.
Namoonni sun garuu qooda kanaa doonii sana gara qarqaraatti baasuuf waan dandaʼan hunda yaalan. Isaan garuu galaanni sun ittuma caalchisee raafamaa waan dhufeef baasuu hin dandeenye.
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.
Kana irratti isaan, “Yaa Waaqayyo, ati sababii lubbuu namicha kanaatiif jettee nu hin fixin. Yaa Waaqayyo ati waan akkuma feete hojjetteef yakka lubbuu nama balleessaa hin qabnee ajjeesuu nutti hin herregin” jedhanii gara Waaqayyootti iyyatan.
15 So they took Jonas, and cast him out into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.
Akkasiin Yoonaasin fuudhanii doonii irraa gad darbatan; galaanni raafamaa ture sunis gab jedhe.
16 And the men feared the Lord very greatly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord, and vowed vows.
Kana irratti namoonni sun akka malee Waaqayyoon sodaatanii aarsaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan; wareegas wareeganiif.
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.
Waaqayyo garuu akka inni Yoonaasin liqimsuuf qurxummii guddaa tokko qopheesse; Yoonaasis guyyaa sadii fi halkan sadii garaa qurxummii sanaa keessa ture.
