Jonah 1
1 And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
Torej Gospodova beseda je prišla k Jonu, Amitájevemu sinu, rekoč:
2 “Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness has come up before Me.”
»Vstani, pojdi v Ninive, to veliko mesto in kliči zoper njega, kajti njihova zlobnost je prišla predme.«
3 And Jonah rises to flee to Tarshish from the face of YHWH, and goes down [to] Joppa, and finds a ship going [to] Tarshish, and he gives its fare, and goes down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of YHWH.
Toda Jona se je dvignil, da pred Gospodovo prisotnostjo zbeži v Taršíš in je odšel dol v Jopo in našel ladjo, ki je šla v Taršíš. Tako je plačal njeno voznino in odšel dol vanjo, da gre z njimi v Taršíš, proč od Gospodove prisotnosti.
4 And YHWH has cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great storm in the sea, and the ship has reckoned to be broken;
Toda Gospod je na morje odposlal velik veter in tam na morju je bil mogočen vihar, tako da je ladjo hotel zlomiti.
5 and the mariners are afraid, and they each cry to his god, and cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make [it] light of them; and Jonah has gone down to the sides of the vessel, and he lies down, and is fast asleep.
Potem so bili mornarji prestrašeni in vsak je klical k svojemu bogu in odvrgli [so] blago, ki je bilo na ladji, v morje, da jo olajšajo. Jona pa je odšel dol med ladijske boke in legel ter trdno zaspal.
6 And the chief of the company draws near to him and says to him, “What are you [doing], O sleeper? Rise, call to your God, it may be God considers Himself of us, and we do not perish.”
Tako je kapitan prišel k njemu in mu rekel: »Kaj ti misliš, oh zaspanec? Vstani, kliči k svojemu Bogu, če je tako, da bo Bog mislil na nas, da se ne pogubimo.«
7 And they each say to his neighbor, “Come, and we cast lots, and we know on whose account this evil [is] on us.” And they cast lots, and the lot falls on Jonah.
In rekli so vsak svojemu tovarišu: »Pridimo in mečimo žrebe, da bomo lahko izvedeli zaradi čigavega vzroka je nad nami to zlo.« Tako so metali žrebe in žreb je padel na Jona.
8 And they say to him, “Now declare to us, on whose account [is] this evil on us? What [is] your occupation, and where do you come from? What [is] your country, seeing you are not of this people?”
Potem so mu rekli: »Povej nam, prosimo te, zaradi čigavega vzroka je nad nami to zlo. Kakšen je tvoj poklic? In od kod prihajaš? Katera je tvoja dežela? In iz katerega ljudstva si?«
9 And he says to them, “I—a Hebrew, and I fear YHWH, God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”
Rekel jim je: »Jaz sem Hebrejec in se bojim Gospoda, Boga nebes, ki je naredil morje in kopno zemljo.«
10 And the men fear a great fear, and say to him, “What [is] this you have done!” For the men have known that he is fleeing from the face of YHWH, for he has told them.
Potem so bili ljudje silno prestrašeni in mu rekli: »Zakaj si to storil?« Kajti ljudje so vedeli, da je pobegnil izpred Gospodovega obličja, ker jim je povedal.
11 And they say to him, “What do we do to you that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more turbulent?”
Potem so mu rekli: »Kaj naj ti storimo, da se nam morje lahko umiri?« Kajti morje se je maščevalo in bilo viharno.
12 And he says to them, “Lift me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea ceases from you; for I know that on my account this great storm [is] on you.”
Rekel jim je: »Vzemite me in me vrzite v morje. Tako se vam bo morje umirilo, kajti vem, da je zaradi mene ta veliki vihar nad vami.«
13 And the men row to turn back to the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more turbulent against them.
Kljub temu so možje trdo veslali, da jo privedejo k obali, toda niso mogli, kajti morje se je maščevalo in bilo viharno proti njim.
14 And they cry to YHWH, and say, “Ah, now, O YHWH, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not lay innocent blood on us! For You, YHWH, as You have pleased, You have done.”
Zato so klicali h Gospodu in rekli: »Rotimo te, oh Gospod, rotimo te, naj se ne pogubimo zaradi življenja tega moža in ne položi na nas nedolžne krvi, kajti ti, oh Gospod, si storil, kakor ti je ugajalo.«
15 And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceases from its raging;
Tako so vzeli Jona in ga vrgli v morje in morje je odnehalo od svojega besnenja.
16 and the men fear YHWH [with] a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to YHWH, and vow vows.
Potem so se možje silno zbali Gospoda in Gospodu darovali klavno daritev in naredili zaobljube.
17 And YHWH appoints a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.
Torej Gospod je pripravil veliko ribo, da je pogoltnila Jona. In Jona je bil v ribjem trebuhu tri dni in tri noči.
