< Jonah 1 >
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah son of Amittai, saying:
A HIKI mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Iona, ke keiki a Amitai, i mai la,
2 'Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness hath come up before Me.'
E ku oe, e hele i Nineva, i kela kulanakauhale nui, e kahea aku ia ia; no ka mea, ua pii mai ko lakou hewa imua o'u.
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.
Aka, ku ae la o Iona e holo i Taresisa, mai ke alo aku o Iehova, a iho aku la i Iopa; a loaa ia ia ka moku e holo ana i Taresisa: a haawi aku ia i ka uku, a komo iho la ia iloko ona e holo pu me lakou i Taresisa mai ke alo aku o Iehova.
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;
A hoouna mai o Iehova i ka makani nui ma ke kai, a he ino nui ma ke kai, a aneane nahaha ka moku.
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.
Alaila, makau iho la na hooholo moku, a kahea aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona akua, a hoolei ka waiwai ma ka moku iloko o ke kai, e hoomama i ka moku no ia mau mea. A ua iho o Iona ilalo i ka aoao hope o ka moku, a moe iho, a ua pauhia i ka hiamoe.
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.'
A hele aku ke kahu moku ia ia, a i aku la ia ia, Heaha kau, e ka mea hiamoe? e ala, e hea aku i kou Akua, malia paha e manao mai ke Akua ia kakou i make ole ai kakou.
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.
A olelo ae la lakou, kela mea keia mea i kona hoa, Ina kakou e hailona, i ike ai kakou i ka mea nona i hiki mai ai keia ino maluna o kakou. A hailona lakou, a lilo ka hailona no Iona.
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?'
Alaila, i aku la lakou ia ia, Ke noi aku nei makou, e hai mai oe ia makou i ka mea nona i hiki mai ai keia ino maluna o kakou? Heaha kau oihana? Mai hea mai oe? Owai kou aina? a no ka lahuikanaka hea oe?
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.'
I mai la oia ia lakou, He Hebera no wau; a ke makau nei au ia Iehova ke Akua o ka lani, nana i hana ke kai, a me ka aina maloo.
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.
Alaila, makau iho la na kanaka i ka makau nui, a i aku la ia ia, No ke aha la oe i hana mai ai i keia? No ka mea, ua ike na kanaka, ua holo ia mai ke alo aku o Iehova, no ka mea, ua hai mai kela ia lakou.
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?'
Alaila, i aku la lakou ia ia, Heaha ka makou e hana aku ai ia oe, i malie iho ai ke kai no kakou? no ka mea, ua nui ae ka inoino o ke kai.
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.'
A i mai la kela ia lakou, E lawe oukou ia'u, a e kiola ia'u iloko o ke kai, a e malie iho ke kai ia oukou: no ka mea, ua ike au, no'u nei i hiki mai ai keia ino nui maluna o oukou.
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.
A hoe ikaika aku la na kanaka e hoi hou i ka aina; aole lakou e hiki: no ka mea, ua nui ae ka inoino o ke kai ia lakou.
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.'
No ia mea, kahea aku la lakou ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei makou ia oe, e Iehova, ke noi aku nei makou, mai lukuia makou no ke ola o keia kanaka, a mai hoopai ia makou i ke koko hala ole: no ka mea, ua hana mai oe, e Iehova, e like me kou makemake.
15 And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceaseth from its raging;
Nolaila, kaikai ae la lakou ia Iona a kiola aku la ia ia iloko o ke kai: e malie iho la ke kai mai kona kupikipikio ana.
16 and the men fear Jehovah — a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to Jehovah, and vow vows.
Alaila, makau nui loa iho la na kanaka ia Iehova, a kaumaha aku lakou i mohai ia Iehova, a hoohiki i na hoohiki ana.
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.
A ua hoomakaukau o Iehova i ia nui e ale iho ia Iona. A ekolu ao, a ekolu po o Iona ileko o ka opu o ka ia.
