Jonah 1
1 And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Jonu, Amitajus dēlu, sacīdams:
2 “Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness has come up before Me.”
Celies, ej uz Ninivi, to lielo pilsētu, un sludini pret to, jo viņas bezdievība ir uzkāpusi Manā priekšā.
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.
Bet Jona cēlās, bēgt no Tā Kunga vaiga uz Taršišu; un viņš nogāja uz Joppi un tur atrada laivu, kas gāja uz Taršišu, un nodeva maksu un kāpa iekšā, ar tiem braukt uz Taršišu, nost no Tā Kunga vaiga.
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;
Bet Tas Kungs lika nākt lielam vējam jūrā, un liela vētra cēlās jūrā, tā ka tā laiva taisījās lūst.
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.
Tad tie laivinieki bijās un kliedza ikviens uz savu dievu un meta tos rīkus, kas laivā bija, jūrā, laivu atvieglināt no tiem. Bet Jona bija nogājis laivas apakšā un gulēja cietā miegā.
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.”
Tad laivas virsnieks pie viņa nāca un uz viņu sacīja: ko tu guli? Celies, piesauc savu Dievu, varbūt ka tas Dievs mūs pieminēs, ka mēs neejam bojā.
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.
Un tie sacīja cits uz citu: iesim, metīsim meslus(lozes), lai zinām, kura dēļ šis ļaunums mums uziet? Un kad tie mesloja, tad Jona tapa iezīmēts.
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?”
Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: saki mums jel, kādēļ šis ļaunums pār mums nāk? Kāds tavs amats un no kurienes tu nāci? Kura ir tava zeme, un no kuras tautas tu esi?
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.”
Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: es esmu Ebrejs un bīstos To Kungu, to debes' Dievu, kas jūru un sausumu radījis.
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.
Tad tie vīri bijās ar lielu bijāšanu un uz viņu sacīja: kā tu tā esi darījis? Jo tie vīri zināja, ka viņš no Tā Kunga vaiga bēga, jo viņš tiem to bija stāstījis.
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?”
Un tie uz viņu sacīja: ko lai mēs ar tevi darām, ka jūra mums nostājās? Jo jūra palika arvienu briesmīgāka.
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.”
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: ņemiet mani un metiet mani jūrā, tad jūra jums nostāsies; jo es zinu, ka šī lielā vētra pār jums nāk manis dēļ.
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.
Bet tie vīri airēja un gribēja laivu vest malā, bet tie neiespēja, jo jūra palika arvienu briesmīgāka.
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.”
Tad tie piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: ak Kungs, lai jel mēs neejam bojā šā vīra dvēseles dēļ, un nepielīdzini mums nenoziedzīgas asinis, jo Tu, Kungs, esi darījis, kā Tev bija pa prātam.
15 And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceases from its raging;
Un tie ņēma Jonu un viņu iemeta jūrā; tad jūra nostājās no savas kaukšanas.
16 and the men fear YHWH [with] a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to YHWH, and vow vows.
Tad tie vīri bijās To Kungu ar lielu bijāšanu un upurēja Tam Kungam upurus un solīja solījumus.
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.
Un Tas Kungs sūtīja lielu zivi, Jonu aprīt, un Jona sabija tās zivs vēderā trīs dienas un trīs naktis.
