Jonah 1
1 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
Ngayon ang salita ni Yahweh ay dumating kay Jonas na anak ni Amitai, na nagsasabing,
2 “Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city, and speak out against it, because their wickedness has risen up before me.”
“Bumangon ka at pumunta sa Ninive, iyong malaking lungsod, at magsalita ka laban dito, dahil ang kasamaan nila ay umabot sa akin.”
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.
Subalit bumangon si Jonas at tumakbo palayo mula sa presensya ni Yahweh at nagtungo sa Tarsis. Bumaba siya sa Joppa at nakakita ng isang barko patungong Tarsis. Kaya nagbayad siya ng pamasahe at sumakay sa barko upang sumama sa kanila patungong Tarsis, palayo mula sa presensya ni Yahweh.
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.
Subalit nagpadala si Yahweh ng malakas na hangin sa dagat at ito ay naging malakas na bagyo sa dagat. Hindi nagtagal ang barko ay parang masisira na.
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.
Kaya lubhang natakot ang mga mandaragat at tumatawag ang bawat tao sa kaniya-kanyang sariling diyos. Tinapon nila ang mga kargamento ng barko sa dagat upang mapagaan ito. Ngunit bumaba si Jonas doon sa mga kaloob-loobang bahagi ng barko, at nakahiga roon mahimbing na natutulog.
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.”
Kaya pumunta ang kapitan sa kaniya at sinabi sa kanya, “Anong ginagawa mong natutulog? Bumangon ka! Tumawag ka sa iyong diyos! Marahil mapapansin tayo ng iyong diyos at hindi tayo mamamatay.”
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.
Sinabi nilang lahat sa bawat isa, “Halikayo, magpalabunutan tayo, para malaman natin kung sino ang dahilan ng kasamaang ito na nangyayari sa atin.” Kaya nagpalabunutan sila at ang bunot ay napunta kay Jonas.
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?”
Pagkatapos sinabi nila kay Jonas, “Pakiusap sabihin sa amin kung sino ang dahilan nitong kasamaang nangyayari sa atin. Ano ang iyong hanap-buhay, at saan ka nanggaling? Ano ang iyong bansa at mula sa aling lahi ka?”
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.”
Sinabi ni Jonas sa kanila, “Ako ay isang Hebreo; at kinatatakutan ko si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng langit, na siyang gumawa ng dagat at ng tuyong lupa.”
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.
Pagkatapos lalong natakot ang mga tao at sinabi kay Jonas, “Ano itong ginawa mo?” Dahil nalaman ng mga tao na siya ay tumatakbo palayo mula sa presensya ni Yahweh, dahil sinabi niya sa kanila.
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi nila kay Jonas, “Ano ang dapat naming gawin sa iyo upang humupa ang dagat para sa atin?” Sapagkat ang dagat ay lalong naging marahas.
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.”
Sinabi ni Jonas sa kanila, “Buhatin ninyo ako at itapon ninyo ako sa dagat. Pagkatapos huhupa ang dagat para sa inyo, sapagkat alam kong dahil sa akin kaya nangyayari sa inyo ang malakas na bagyong ito.”
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.
Gayunpaman, ang mga lalaki ay nagsumikap sumagwan ng matindi upang makabalik sila sa lupa, ngunit hindi nila ito magawa dahil ang dagat ay lalong nagiging marahas laban sa kanila.
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.”
Kaya tumawag sila kay Yahweh at sinabing, “Nagmamakaawa kami sa iyo, Yahweh, nagmakaawa kami, huwag mo kaming hayaang mamatay dahil sa buhay ng taong ito, at huwag mong ipataw sa amin ang pagkakasala sa kanyang kamatayan, dahil ikaw, Yahweh ang gumawa kung ano ang makalulugod sa iyo.”
15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped raging.
Kaya binuhat nila si Jonas at itinapon siya sa dagat, at tumigil ang matinding galit ng dagat.
16 Then the men feared Yahweh very much. They offered sacrifices to Yahweh and made vows.
Pagkatapos lalong natakot ang mga tao kay Yahweh. Naghandog sila ng mga alay kay Yahweh at gumawa ng mga panata.
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.
Ngayon inihanda ni Yahweh ang isang malaking isda upang lunukin si Jonas, at si Jonas ay nasa loob ng tiyan ng isda nang tatlong araw at tatlong gabi.
