Jonah 1
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah son of Amittai, saying:
Ary tonga tamin’ i Jona, zanak’ i Amitahy, ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 'Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness hath come up before Me.'
Mitsangàna, mankanesa any Ninive, ilay tanàna lehibe, ary miantsoa ny amin’ ny hamelezana azy, fa tafakatra eto anatrehako ny faharatsiany.
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.
Nefa Jona nitsangana handositra ho any Tarsisy mba hiala eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary nidina tany Jopa izy ka nahita sambo hankany Tarsisy, dia nandoa ny karamany ka niondrana taminy hiara-mandeha tamin’ ny tao ho any Tarsisy hiala eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
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;
Fa Jehovah nahatonga rivotra mahery teny ambonin’ ny ranomasina, dia nanonja mafy ny ranomasina, ka dia efa nila ho vaky ny sambo.
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.
Dia raiki-tahotra ny matilo, ka samy nitaraina tamin’ ny andriamaniny avy sady nariany tany anaty ranomasina ny zavatra tao an-tsambo mba hampahatony ny loza. Fa Jona kosa efa nidina nankao anaty sambo ka nandry renoky ny torimaso.
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.'
Dia nankao aminy ny kapitenin-tsambo ka nanao taminy hoe: Endrey ity ianao renoky ny torimaso foana eto! Mitsangàna, ka antsoy ny Andriamanitrao, fa angamba hihevitra antsika Andriamanitra, ka dia tsy ho faty isika.
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.
Ary dia samy nanao tamin’ ny namany hoe izy: Avia isika hanao filokana mba hizahantsika izay mahatonga izao loza izao amintsika. Dia nanao filokana izy, ka Jona no azo.
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?'
Dia hoy ireo taminy: Masìna ianao, lazao aminay: Noho ny amin’ iza moa no mahatonga izao loza izao amintsika? Inona no raharaha fanaonao? Ary avy taiza ianao? Aiza no taninao? Ary avy amin’ ny firenen’ iza ianao?
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.'
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ireo: Hebreo aho; ary Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny lanitra, no ivavahako, dia Izay nanao ny ranomasina sy ny tany maina.
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.
Dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny olona ka nanao taminy hoe: Adray izato ataonao izato! Fa fantany fa nandositra hiala eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy, satria efa nambarany taminy izany.
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?'
Dia hoy ireo taminy: Hataonay ahoana ary ianao mba hahatony ny ranomasina aminay? Fa mbola nihananonja ihany ny ranomasina.
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.'
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ireo: Betao aho, ka atsipazo any anatin’ ny ranomasina hahatony ny ranomasina aminareo; fa fantatro fa noho ny amiko no mahatonga izao onja mahery izao aminareo.
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.
Nefa namaky onja fatratra ny olona mba hamerina ny sambo ho amin’ ny tany maina, fa tsy zakany, satria ny ranomasina mbola nihananonja mafy taminy.
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.'
Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izy ka nanao hoe: Mifona aminao izahay, Jehovah ô, aoka tsy ho faty izahay noho ny amin’ ny ain’ ity lehilahy ity ary aza atao ho mpandatsaka rà marina izahay; fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, efa nanao izay sitraky ny fonao.
15 And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceaseth from its raging;
Dia nobetain’ izy ireo Jona ka natsipiny tany anatin’ ny ranomasina; ary dia nitsahatra ny fisafoaky ny ranomasina.
16 and the men fear Jehovah — a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to Jehovah, and vow vows.
Dia natahotra an’ i Jehovah indrindra ireo olona ireo ka namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah sady nivoady.
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.
Ary Jehovah nanomana hazandrano lehibe hitelina an’ i Jona. Ary Jona dia tao an-kibon’ ilay hazandrano hateloan’ andro sy hateloan’ alina.
