Jonah 1

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah son of Amittai, saying:

Wach Jehova Nyasaye ne obiro ne Jona wuod Amitai kama:

2 'Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness hath come up before Me.'

“Wuogi idhiyo e dala maduongʼ mar Nineve, mondo iyalne kisieme nikech timbene mamono osechopo e nyima.”

3 And Jonah riseth to flee to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah, and goeth down [to] Joppa, and findeth a ship going [to] Tarshish, and he giveth its fare, and goeth down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah.

To Jona noringo oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kochomo Tarshish. Ne olor modhi Jopa, kumane oyudoe yie mane dhi e dho wadhno. Bangʼ chulo nengo wuoth noidho mokwangʼ kodhiyo Tarshish mondo oring oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.

4 And Jehovah hath cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great tempest in the sea, and the ship hath reckoned to be broken;

Eka Jehova Nyasaye nooro yamo maduongʼ e nam, kendo ahiti mager notugore ma yie koro ne dwaro barore.

5 and the mariners are afraid, and cry each unto his god, and cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make [it] light of them; and Jonah hath gone down unto the sides of the vessel, and he lieth down, and is fast asleep.

Jokwangʼ duto ne luoro omako mi ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi ne oywak ne nyasache owuon. Ne gidiro mwandu duto mane gin-go e nam mondo yie odongʼ mayot. To ne oyudo Jona oselor e ot ma piny mar yie, kuma ne oriere mi nindo okwanye mogoye ngoga.

6 And the chief of the company draweth near to him, and saith to him, 'What — to thee, O sleeper? rise, call unto thy God, it may be God doth bethink himself of us, and we do not perish.'

Jatend yie nolor piny ire mowachone niya, “Mara angʼo in to inindo? Aa malo mondo iywagne nyasachi! Dipo ka oparowa, mondo kik watho.”

7 And they say each unto his neighbour, 'Come, and we cast lots, and we know on whose account this evil [is] on us.' And they cast lots, and the lot falleth on Jonah.

Eka jokwangʼ duto nowuoyo e kindgi giwegi niya, “Bi wagouru ombulu mondo wangʼe ngʼama okelo masirani.” Negigoyo ombulu, mi ombulu nolwar kuom Jona.

8 And they say unto him, 'Declare to us, we pray thee, on what account this evil [is] on us? what [is] thine occupation, and whence comest thou? what [is] thy country, seeing thou art not of this people?'

Omiyo negipenje niya, “Wachnwa ane ni en angʼo mokelonwa chandruokgi duto? En tich mane mitiyo? In japiny mane? To iwuok e oganda mane?”

9 And he saith unto them, 'A Hebrew I [am], and Jehovah, God of the heavens, I am reverencing, who made the sea and the dry land.'

To nodwokogi niya, “An ja-Hibrania kendo alamo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach polo, mane ochweyo nam kod piny.”

10 And the men fear a great fear, and say unto him, 'What [is] this thou hast done!' for the men have known that from the face of Jehovah he is fleeing, for he hath told them.

Wachno nobwogogi mine gipenjo niya, “En angʼo misetimo?” (To negingʼeyo ni oringo oa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nikech ne oyudo osenyisogi kamano).

11 And they say unto him, 'What do we do to thee that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more tempestuous?'

To nam ne medo mana gingore, omiyo negipenje niya, “Watimni angʼo mondo nam okwenwa?”

12 And he saith unto them, 'Lift me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea doth cease from you; for I know that on my account this great tempest [is] upon you.'

Nodwokogi niya, “Kawauru ubola e nam, eka obiro kwe. Angʼeyo ni kethona emomiyo ahiti maduongʼni osebiro kuomu.”

13 And the men row to turn back unto the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more tempestuous against them.

Kar timo kamano, jogo ne otemo kar nyalogi mondo gikwangʼ gidogi e dho wath. To ne ok ginyal, nimar nam nomedo gingore marach moloyo kaka ne en mokwongo.

14 And they cry unto Jehovah, and say, 'We pray Thee, O Jehovah, let us not, we pray Thee, perish for this man's life, and do not lay on us innocent blood, for Thou, Jehovah, as Thou hast pleased, Thou hast done.'

Eka ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kiyie to kik iwewa watho kuom kawo ngima ngʼatni. Kik ikwanwa kaka joketho kuom nego ngʼama onge ketho, nimar in, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isetimo dwaroni.”

15 And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceaseth from its raging;

Eka negikawo Jona mi gibolo e nam, kendo apaka mar nam mane ger nokwe.

16 and the men fear Jehovah — a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to Jehovah, and vow vows.

Wachni nomiyo jogo oluoro Jehova Nyasaye ahinya, mine gichiwo misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo ne gisingorene.

17 And Jehovah appointeth a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.

To Jehova Nyasaye nokelo rech marangʼongo mondo omwony Jona, kendo Jona nenie ei rechno kuom ndalo adek odiechiengʼ gotieno.
