Jonah 1
1 Now the LORD’s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Jonu, Amitajus dēlu, sacīdams:
2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.”
Celies, ej uz Ninivi, to lielo pilsētu, un sludini pret to, jo viņas bezdievība ir uzkāpusi Manā priekšā.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
Bet Jona cēlās, bēgt no Tā Kunga vaiga uz Taršišu; un viņš nogāja uz Joppi un tur atrada laivu, kas gāja uz Taršišu, un nodeva maksu un kāpa iekšā, ar tiem braukt uz Taršišu, nost no Tā Kunga vaiga.
4 But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
Bet Tas Kungs lika nākt lielam vējam jūrā, un liela vētra cēlās jūrā, tā ka tā laiva taisījās lūst.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.
Tad tie laivinieki bijās un kliedza ikviens uz savu dievu un meta tos rīkus, kas laivā bija, jūrā, laivu atvieglināt no tiem. Bet Jona bija nogājis laivas apakšā un gulēja cietā miegā.
6 So the ship master came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won’t perish.”
Tad laivas virsnieks pie viņa nāca un uz viņu sacīja: ko tu guli? Celies, piesauc savu Dievu, varbūt ka tas Dievs mūs pieminēs, ka mēs neejam bojā.
7 They all said to each other, “Come! Let’s cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
Un tie sacīja cits uz citu: iesim, metīsim meslus(lozes), lai zinām, kura dēļ šis ļaunums mums uziet? Un kad tie mesloja, tad Jona tapa iezīmēts.
8 Then they asked him, “Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?”
Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: saki mums jel, kādēļ šis ļaunums pār mums nāk? Kāds tavs amats un no kurienes tu nāci? Kura ir tava zeme, un no kuras tautas tu esi?
9 He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.”
Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: es esmu Ebrejs un bīstos To Kungu, to debes' Dievu, kas jūru un sausumu radījis.
10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “What have you done?” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
Tad tie vīri bijās ar lielu bijāšanu un uz viņu sacīja: kā tu tā esi darījis? Jo tie vīri zināja, ka viņš no Tā Kunga vaiga bēga, jo viņš tiem to bija stāstījis.
11 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?” For the sea grew more and more stormy.
Un tie uz viņu sacīja: ko lai mēs ar tevi darām, ka jūra mums nostājās? Jo jūra palika arvienu briesmīgāka.
12 He said to them, “Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you.”
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: ņemiet mani un metiet mani jūrā, tad jūra jums nostāsies; jo es zinu, ka šī lielā vētra pār jums nāk manis dēļ.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them.
Bet tie vīri airēja un gribēja laivu vest malā, bet tie neiespēja, jo jūra palika arvienu briesmīgāka.
14 Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, “We beg you, LORD, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t lay on us innocent blood; for you, LORD, have done as it pleased you.”
Tad tie piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: ak Kungs, lai jel mēs neejam bojā šā vīra dvēseles dēļ, un nepielīdzini mums nenoziedzīgas asinis, jo Tu, Kungs, esi darījis, kā Tev bija pa prātam.
15 So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
Un tie ņēma Jonu un viņu iemeta jūrā; tad jūra nostājās no savas kaukšanas.
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
Tad tie vīri bijās To Kungu ar lielu bijāšanu un upurēja Tam Kungam upurus un solīja solījumus.
17 The LORD prepared a huge fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Un Tas Kungs sūtīja lielu zivi, Jonu aprīt, un Jona sabija tās zivs vēderā trīs dienas un trīs naktis.
