Jonah 1
1 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
Дође реч Господња Јони, сину Аматијевом говорећи:
2 “Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city, and speak out against it, because their wickedness has risen up before me.”
Устани, иди у Ниневију град велики, и проповедај против њега, јер изађе злоћа њихова преда ме.
3 But Jonah got up to run away from the presence of Yahweh and go to Tarshish. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and boarded the ship to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of Yahweh.
А Јона уста да бежи у Тарсис од Господа, и сишав у Јопу нађе лађу која иђаше у Тарсис и платив возарину уђе у њу да отиде с њима у Тарсис од Господа.
4 But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea and it became a mighty storm on the sea. Soon it appeared that the ship was going to be broken up.
Али Господ подиже велик ветар на мору, и поста велика бура на мору да мишљаху да ће се разбити лађа.
5 Then the sailors became very afraid and each man cried out to his own god. They threw the ship's cargo into the sea to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was lying there deeply asleep.
И лађари уплашивши се призиваху сваки свог бога, и бацаху шта беше у лађи у море да би била лакша; а Јона беше сишао на дно лађи, и легав спаваше тврдо.
6 So the captain came to him and said to him, “What are you doing sleeping? Get up! Call upon your god! Maybe your god will notice us and we will not perish.”
А управитељ од лађе приступи к њему и рече му: Шта ти спаваш! Устани, призивај Бога свог, не би ли нас се опоменуо Бог да не погинемо.
7 They all said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots, so that we may know who is the cause of this evil that is happening to us.” So they threw lots, and the lot fell to Jonah.
Потом рекоше један другом: Ходите, да бацимо жреб да видимо са кога дође на нас ово зло. И бацише жреб, и паде жреб на Јону.
8 Then they said to Jonah, “Please tell us who is the cause of this evil that is happening to us. What is your occupation, and where did you come from? What is your country, and from which people are you?”
Тада му рекоше: Кажи нам зашто дође ово зло на нас; које си радње? И одакле идеш? Из које си земље? И од кога си народа?
9 Jonah said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.”
А он им рече: Јеврејин сам, и бојим се Господа Бога небеског, који је створио море и суву земљу.
10 Then the men were even more afraid and said to Jonah, “What is this that you have done?” For the men knew that he was running away from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.
Тада се врло уплашише људи, и рекоше му: Шта си учинио? Јер дознаше људи да бежи од Господа, јер им он каза.
11 Then they said to Jonah, “What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?” For the sea became more and more violent.
И рекоше му: Шта ћемо чинити с тобом, да би нам море утолило? Јер бура на мору биваше све већа.
12 Jonah said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you, for I know that it is because of me that this great storm is happening to you.”
А он им рече: Узмите ме и баците ме у море, и море ће вам утолити, јер видим да је с мене дошла на вас ова велика бура.
13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get them back to the land, but they could not do it because the sea was becoming more and more violent against them.
А људи стадоше веслати да би дошли ка крају; али не могаху, јер им бура на мору биваше све већа.
14 Therefore they cried out to Yahweh and said, “We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, do not let us perish on account of this man's life, and do not lay upon us the guilt of his death, because you, Yahweh, have done just as it pleased you.”
Тада призваше Господа и рекоше: Молимо Ти се, Господе, да не погинемо ради душе овог човека, и немој метнути на нас крв праву, јер Ти, Господе, чиниш како хоћеш.
15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped raging.
Потом узеше Јону и бацише га у море, и преста бура на мору.
16 Then the men feared Yahweh very much. They offered sacrifices to Yahweh and made vows.
Тада се побојаше они људи Господа врло, и принесоше жртву Господу и учинише завете.
17 Now Yahweh had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.
Али Господ заповеди, те велика риба прогута Јону; и Јона би у трбуху рибљем три дана и три ноћи.
