< Jonah 1 >
1 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
Karon ang pulong ni Yahweh gipadayag kang Jonas nga anak ni Amitai, nga nagaingon,
2 “Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city, and speak out against it, because their wickedness has risen 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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, 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.
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 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?”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 do it because the sea was becoming more and more violent 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 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.”
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 picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped 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 Yahweh very much. They offered sacrifices to Yahweh and made vows.
Naghatag sila ug mga halad kang Yahweh ug naghimo ug mga pagpakigsaad.
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.
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.
