Jonah 1
1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Дође реч Господња Јони, сину Аматијевом говорећи:
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
Устани, иди у Ниневију град велики, и проповедај против њега, јер изађе злоћа њихова преда ме.
3 But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare of it, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
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 the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was in danger of being broken.
Али Господ подиже велик ветар на мору, и поста велика бура на мору да мишљаху да ће се разбити лађа.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god, and cast the wares that [were] in the ship into the sea, to lighten [it] of them. But Jonah had gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast 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 ship-master came to him, and said to him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, it may be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
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 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil [is] upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon 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 said they to him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil [is] upon us; What [is] thy occupation? and whence comest thou? what [is] thy country? and of what people [art] thou?
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 And he said to them, I [am] a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who hath 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 were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, 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 said they to him, What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
И рекоше му: Шта ћемо чинити с тобом, да би нам море утолило? Јер бура на мору биваше све већа.
12 And he said to them, Take me, and cast me into the sea; so shall the sea be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest [is] upon 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 bring [it] to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
А људи стадоше веслати да би дошли ка крају; али не могаху, јер им бура на мору биваше све већа.
14 Wherefore they cried to the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
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 took Jonah, and cast him into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
Потом узеше Јону и бацише га у море, и преста бура на мору.
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD, and made vows.
Тада се побојаше они људи Господа врло, и принесоше жртву Господу и учинише завете.
17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly 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.
