< Jonah 1 >
1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Karon ang pulong ni Yahweh gipadayag kang Jonas nga anak ni Amitai, nga nagaingon,
2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim against it, for their wickedness has come up before me."
“Tindog ug adto sa Ninebe, kadtong bantogan nga siyudad, ug pagpamulong batok niini, tungod kay ang ilang pagkadaotan midangat na kanako.”
3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
Apan si Jonas mitindog aron moikyas gikan sa presensya ni Yahweh ug moadto sa Tarsis. Milugsong siya sa Joppa ug nakakaplag ug barko paingon sa Tarsis. Busa nagbayad siya sa pamasahe ug misakay sa barko aron mouban kanila paingon sa Tarsis, palayo sa presensya ni Yahweh.
4 But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
Apan nagpadala si Yahweh ug kusog nga hangin ngadto sa dagat ug nahimo kining gamhanan nga bagyo sa dagat. Sa wala madugay ang barko daw hapit na maguba.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.
Unya ang mga manlalayag nangahadlok pag-ayo ug ang matag tawo misinggit ngadto sa iyang kaugalingon nga dios. Ilang gilabay ngadto sa dagat ang mga karga sa barko aron mogaan kini. Apan si Jonas mikanaog ngadto sa pinakasuok nga bahin sa barko, ug didto siya naghigda ug nahinanok sa pagkatulog.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God. Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won't perish."
Mao nga ang kapitan miduol ngadto kaniya ug miingon kaniya, “Nganong natulog ka man? Bangon! Tawag sa imong dios! Basin makamatngon pa ang imong dios kanato ug dili kita malaglag.”
7 They all said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is on us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
Nag-ingnanay sila sa usag-usa, “Dali, magripa kita, aron masayran nato kung kinsa ang hinungdan niining daotan nga nagakahitabo kanato.” Busa nagripa sila, ug ang ripa natunong kang Jonas.
8 Then they asked him, "Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?"
Unya miingon sila kang Jonas, “Palihog sultihi kami kung kinsa ang hinungdan niining kadaot nga nagakahitabo kanato.” Unsa man ang imong trabaho, ug asa ka man gikan? Unsa ang imong nasod ug kang kinsa kang katawhan nahisakop?”
9 He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land."
Si Jonas miingon kanila, “Usa ako ka-Hebreohanon; ug adunay akoy kahadlok kang Yahweh, ang Dios sa langit, nga nagbuhat sa dagat ug sa uga nga yuta.”
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "What is this that you have done?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
Unya misamot pa gayod sa kahadlok ang mga tawo ug miingon kang Jonas, “Unsa man kining imong nabuhat?” Tungod nasayod man ang mga tawo nga mipalayo siya sa presensya ni Yahweh, tungod mitug-an man siya kanila.
11 Then said they to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more stormy.
Unya miingon sila kang Jonas, “Unsa man ang angay namong buhaton kanimo aron ang dagat molurang alang kanamo?” Tungod ang dagat nag-anam pa gayod ug kakusog.
12 He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you."
Si Jonas mitubag kanila, “Dayongi ako ninyo ug ilabay ako ngadto sa dagat. Unya ang dagat molurang alang kaninyo, tungod nasayod ako nga ako ang hinungdan nganong nagakahitabo kining kusog nga bagyo kaninyo.”
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them.
Apan ang mga tawo mibugsay pa gayod aron mobalik ang barko sa baybay, apan dili nila kini mahimo tungod misamot pa gayod ang dagat ug kakusog batok kanila.
14 Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, "We beg you, LORD, we beg you, let us not perish for this man's life, and do not lay on us innocent blood; for you, LORD, have done as it pleased you."
Busa misinggit sila kang Yahweh ug miingon, “Nagpakiluoy kami kanimo, Yahweh, nagpakiluoy kami, ayaw kami paantosa tungod sa kinabuhi aning tawhana, ug ayaw kami himoang sad-an sa iyang kamatayon, tungod ikaw, Yahweh, nagbuhat kung unsa ang makapahimuot kanimo.”
15 So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
Busa ilang gialsa si Jonas ug gitambog sa dagat ug ang dagat miundang sa kabangis. Unya nahadlok pag-ayo ang mga tawo kang Yahweh.
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD, and made vows.
Naghatag sila ug mga halad kang Yahweh ug naghimo ug mga pagpakigsaad.
17 The LORD prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Karon si Yahweh nag-andam ug dako kaayo nga isda aron lamyon si Jonas, ug si Jonas anaa sa tiyan sa isda sulod sa tulo ka adlaw ug tulo ka gabii.
