Jonah 1
1 Now the LORD’s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Дође реч Господња Јони, сину Аматијевом говорећи:
2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.”
Устани, иди у Ниневију град велики, и проповедај против њега, јер изађе злоћа њихова преда ме.
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.
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 on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
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 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.
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 do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won’t 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’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.
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 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?”
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 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.”
А он им рече: Јеврејин сам, и бојим се Господа Бога небеског, који је створио море и суву земљу.
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.
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 him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?” For the sea grew more and more stormy.
И рекоше му: Шта ћемо чинити с тобом, да би нам море утолило? Јер бура на мору биваше све већа.
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.”
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, for the sea grew more and more stormy 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 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.”
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 up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
Потом узеше Јону и бацише га у море, и преста бура на мору.
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
Тада се побојаше они људи Господа врло, и принесоше жртву Господу и учинише завете.
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.
Али Господ заповеди, те велика риба прогута Јону; и Јона би у трбуху рибљем три дана и три ноћи.
