Jonah 1
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.
Na i puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hona, tama a Amitai, i mea,
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.
Whakatika, haere ki Ninewe, ki taua pa nui, karangatia he he mona; kua tae ake hoki to ratou kino ki toku aroaro.
3 And he arose Jonah to flee Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh and he went down Joppa and he found a ship - [which was] about to go Tarshish and he gave fare its and he went down in it to go with them Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh.
Ko Hona ia i whakatika, he rere ki Tarahihi i te aroaro o Ihowa; haere ana ia ki raro, ki Hopa, a ka kitea e ia tetahi kaipuke e rere ana ki Tarahihi: ka hoatu e ia te utu mo te ekenga ki runga, kia haere atu ai ia i roto i a ratou ki Tarahihi i te aroaro o Ihowa.
4 And Yahweh he threw a wind great to the sea and it was a storm great on the sea and the ship it thought to be broken.
Na ka tukua e Ihowa he hau nui ki te moana, a he nui te awha i te moana, no ka kiia ka pakaru te kaipuke.
5 And they were afraid the sailors and they cried for help everyone to gods his and they threw the vessels which [were] in the ship into the sea to lighten from on them and Jonah he had gone down into [the] innermost parts of the ship and he had lain down and he had fallen fast asleep.
Na ka wehi nga kaiwhakatere, ka karanga ki tona atua, ki tona atua; a akiritia ana e ratou nga taonga o runga o te kaipuke ki te moana kia mama ai ki a ratou. Ko Hona ia kua riro ki roto rawa i te kaipuke, a ka takoto ia, ka moe, au rawa.
6 And he drew near to him [the] chief of the sailor[s] and he said to him what? [is] to you sleeping arise call to god your perhaps he will give thought the god to us and not we will perish.
Na ko te haerenga atu o te rangatira o te kaipuke, ka mea ki a ia, He aha tau, e te tangata e moe na? maranga, karanga ki tou Atua, me kahore te Atua e whakaaro ki a tatou, kei ngaro tatou.
7 And they said each to neighbor his come so let us cast lots so we may know by which of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us and they cast lots and it fell the lot on Jonah.
Na ka mea ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, Haere mai, kia makamaka rota tatou, kia mohio ai ko wai te take o tenei he ki a tatou. Na kei te makamaka rota ratou, a ka tau te rota ki a Hona.
8 And they said to him tell! please to us because of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us what? [is] occupation your and from where? do you come what? [is] land your and where? from this people [are] you.
Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Tena ra, whakaaturia ki a matou ko wai te take o tenei he ki a tatou? he mahi aha tau? i haere mai koe i hea? Ko hea tou whenua? no tehea iwi koe?
9 And he said to them [am] a Hebrew I and Yahweh [the] God of the heavens I [am] fearing who he made the sea and the dry land.
Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, He Hiperu ahau; e wehi ana hoki ahu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o nga rangi, nana nei i hanga te moana me te whenua maroke.
10 And they feared the men a fear great and they said to him what? this have you done for they knew the men that from to before Yahweh he [was] fleeing for he had told to them.
Na nui atu te wehi i wehi ai aua tangata, ka mea ratou ki a ia, He aha tenei i meatia nei e koe? I mohio hoki aua tangata e rere ana ia i te aroaro o Ihowa, nana hoki i whakaatu ki a ratou.
11 And they said to him what? will we do to you so it may be calm the sea from on us for the sea [was] going and storming.
Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Me aha matou ki a koe, kia marino ai te moana ki a tatou? e nui haere ana hoki te ngaru o te moana.
12 And he said to them pick up me and throw me into the sea so it may be calm the sea from on you for [am] knowing I that by which to me the storm great this [is] on you.
A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Hapainga ake ahau, maka ki te moana; katahi ka marino te moana ki a koutou; e mohio ana hoki ahau he whakaaro ki ahau i puta mai ai tenei paroro ki a koutou.
13 And they rowed the men to return to the dry land and not they were able for the sea [was] going and storming on them.
Heoi hoe tonu aua tangata kia u ai ratou ki uta; otiia kihai i taea: e nui haere ana hoki te ngaru o te moana hei arai i a ratou.
14 And they called out to Yahweh and they said we beg you O Yahweh do not please let us perish by [the] life of the man this and may not you put on us blood innocent for you O Yahweh just as you pleased you have done.
Katahi aua tangata ka karanga ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Aue, e Ihowa, kaua ra matou e whakangaromia hei utu mo te matenga o tenei tangata: kaua ano e utaina he toto harakore ki runga ki a matou: kua mahia na hoki e koe, e Ihowa, tau i pai ai.
15 And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.
Na hapainga ana a Hona e ratou, maka ana ki te moana: a mutu ake te riri o te moana.
16 And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.
Na he nui te wehi i wehi ai aua tangata i a Ihowa; patua iho e ratou he patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, puaki ana a ratou kupu taurangi.
17 And he appointed Yahweh a fish great to swallow Jonah and he was Jonah in [the] inward parts of the fish three days and three nights.
Na kua rite mai i a Ihowa tetahi ika nui hei horo i a Hona. A e toru nga ra, e toru nga po o Hona i roto i te kopu o te ika.
