< Jonah 1 >

1 Now the word of YHWH came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Haddaba waxaa Yoonis ina Amitay u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo sidan ku leh,
2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim against it, for their wickedness has come up before me."
Kac, oo waxaad tagtaa magaaladaas weyn oo Nineweh, oo iyada ku qayli, waayo, sharkoodii wuxuu yimid hortayda.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of YHWH. 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 YHWH.
Laakiinse Yoonis wuxuu u kacay inuu Rabbiga hortiisa ka cararo oo xagga Tarshiish u baxsado. Markaasuu Yaafaa u dhaadhacay oo wuxuu halkaas ka helay doonni Tarshiish tegaysa. Sidaas daraaddeed lacagtii nooliguu bixiyey, kolkaasuu gudaha galay, waayo, wuxuu doonayay inuu iyaga Tarshiish u raaco oo uu ka cararo Rabbiga hortiisa.
4 But YHWH 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.
Laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu baddii ku soo daayay dabayl weyn, kolkaasaa waxaa baddii ka dhex kacay duufaan xoog leh, doonnidiina waxay ku dhowaatay inay burburto.
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.
Markaasay raggii baxriyiinta ahaa aad u baqeen, oo mid waluba wuxuu u qayshaday ilaahiisii. Alaabtii doonnida ku jirtayna badday ku dhex tuureen, si ay doonnidu iyaga ugu fududaato. Laakiinse wuxuu Yoonis mar hore u dhaadhacay doonnida meesha ugu hoosaysa, oo halkaasuu seexday, wuxuuna ku jiray hurdo weyn.
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."
Haddaba waxaa isagii u yimid naakhudihii doonnida, oo ku yidhi, Hurdahayow, maxaad u jeeddaa? Kac oo Ilaahaaga u qayli, waaba intaasoo uu inaga fikiraa inaannan halligmine.
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.
Oo wuxuu midba midkii kale ku yidhi, Kaalaya aynu saami ridannee si aan u ogaanno kan aawadiis belaayadanu inoogu dhacday. Sidaas daraaddeed saami bay riteen, oo saamigiina wuxuu ku dhacay Yoonis.
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?"
Markaasay waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye noo sheeg kan aawadiis belaayadanu inoogu dhacday. Waa maxay shuqulkaagu? Oo xaggee baad ka timid? Waddankaagu waa kee? Dadkaaguna waa ayo?
9 He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear YHWH, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land."
Oo isna wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxaan ahay Cibraani, oo waxaan ka cabsadaa Rabbiga ah Ilaaha samada, oo ah Kan abuuray badda iyo berrigaba.
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 YHWH, because he had told them.
Markaasay nimankii aad iyo aad u cabsadeen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Waa maxay waxa aad samaysay? Waayo, waxay ogaadeen inuu Rabbiga hortiisa ka soo cararay, maxaa yeelay, isagaa u sheegay.
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.
Markaasay ku yidhaahdeen, Si baddu noogu degto aawadeed haddaba bal maxaannu kugu samaynaa? Waayo, badda duufaankeedii aad iyo aad buu u sii weynaaday.
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."
Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Kor ii qaada oo badda igu dhex tuura, sidaasay baddu idiinku degi doontaaye, waayo, waxaan ogahay in duufaankan weynu daraadday idiinku soo kacay.
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.
Habase yeeshee nimankii aad bay seeb doonnidii ugu wadeen oo ugu dadaaleen inay xeebtii ku soo noqdaan, laakiinse way kari waayeen, maxaa yeelay, badda duufaankeedii oo ka gees ahaa aad iyo aad buu u sii weynaaday.
14 Therefore they cried to YHWH, and said, "We beg you, YHWH, we beg you, let us not perish for this man's life, and do not lay on us innocent blood; for you, YHWH, have done as it pleased you."
Markaasay Rabbiga u qayshadeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Rabbiyow, waannu ku baryaynaa, oo waannu ku baryaynaaye, yaannan u halligmin nolosha ninkan aawadeed, oo annaga ha na saarin dhiig aan xaq qabin, waayo, Rabbiyow, waxaad samaysay sidii aad ku faraxday.
15 So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
Sidaas daraaddeed Yoonis bay kor u qaadeen oo waxay ku dhex tuureen baddii, kolkaasay baddii joojisay cadhadeedii.
16 Then the men feared YHWH exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to YHWH, and made vows.
Markaasay nimankii aad iyo aad Rabbiga uga cabsadeen, oo waxay Rabbiga u bixiyeen allabari, nidarrona way galeen.
17 YHWH prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Oo Rabbigu wuxuu Yoonis u diyaariyey kalluun weyn oo isaga liqa; Yoonisna wuxuu kalluunka calooshiisii ku dhex jiray saddex habeen iyo saddex maalmood.
