Yunana 1
1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Yunana ɗan Amittai cewa,
And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
2 “Tafi babban birnin nan Ninebe ka yi mata wa’azi, saboda muguntarta ta haura zuwa gabana.”
“Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness has come up before Me.”
3 Amma Yunana ya gudu daga Ubangiji ya nufi Tarshish. Ya gangara zuwa Yaffa, inda ya sami jirgin ruwa mai shirin tashi daga tashar. Bayan ya biya kuɗin tafiya, sai ya shiga jirgi ya kama hanya zuwa Tarshish don yă tsere wa Ubangiji.
And Jonah rises to flee to Tarshish from the face of YHWH, and goes down [to] Joppa, and finds a ship going [to] Tarshish, and he gives its fare, and goes down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of YHWH.
4 Sai Ubangiji ya aika da babban iska a bisan teku, hadiri ya tsananta ƙwarai har jirgin ya yi barazanar farfashewa.
And YHWH has cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great storm in the sea, and the ship has reckoned to be broken;
5 Dukan matuƙan jirgin suka tsorata, kowannensu kuma ya yi kuka ga allahnsa, suka kuma jefar da kayan jirgi a cikin teku domin su rage nauyin jirgin. Ana cikin haka, ashe, Yunana ya sauka can ƙarƙashin jirgi ya je ya kwanta, yana ta sharar barcinsa.
and the mariners are afraid, and they each cry to his god, and cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make [it] light of them; and Jonah has gone down to the sides of the vessel, and he lies down, and is fast asleep.
6 Sai kyaftin ɗin ya je wajensa ya ce masa, “Don me kake barci? Tashi ka kira bisa ga allahnka! Mai yiwuwa yă ji mu, yă cece mu don kada mu hallaka.”
And the chief of the company draws near to him and says to him, “What are you [doing], O sleeper? Rise, call to your God, it may be God considers Himself of us, and we do not perish.”
7 Matuƙan jirgin suka ce wa juna, “Ku zo, mu jefa ƙuri’a mu ga wa ke da alhakin wannan masifa.” Sai suka jefa ƙuri’a, ƙuri’ar kuwa ta fāɗa a kan Yunana.
And they each say to his neighbor, “Come, and we cast lots, and we know on whose account this evil [is] on us.” And they cast lots, and the lot falls on Jonah.
8 Saboda haka suka tambaye shi suka ce, “Yanzu, gaya mana, dalilin da ya sa wannan masifa ta zo mana? Mene ne aikinka? Daga ina ka fito? Ina ne ƙasarka? Daga wacce kabila ce ka fito?”
And they say to him, “Now declare to us, on whose account [is] this evil on us? What [is] your occupation, and where do you come from? What [is] your country, seeing you are not of this people?”
9 Sai ya amsa, “Ni mutumin Ibraniyawa ne, ina kuma bauta wa Ubangiji Allah na sama, wanda ya yi teku da tuddai.”
And he says to them, “I—a Hebrew, and I fear YHWH, God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”
10 Sai matuƙan jirgin suka tsorata ƙwarai, suka ce masa, “Wane irin mugun abu ne ka aikata haka?” (Sun gane cewa yana gudu ne daga wurin Ubangiji, domin ya riga ya faɗa musu.)
And the men fear a great fear, and say to him, “What [is] this you have done!” For the men have known that he is fleeing from the face of YHWH, for he has told them.
11 Sai tekun ya daɗa rikicewa. Sai suka tambaye shi, “Me za mu yi da kai domin tekun yă daina hauka?”
And they say to him, “What do we do to you that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more turbulent?”
12 Ya amsa musu ya ce, “Ku ɗauke ni ku jefa a cikin teku, tekun zai kwanta. Na san cewa laifina ne ya jawo wannan babban hadirin da ya auka muku.”
And he says to them, “Lift me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea ceases from you; for I know that on my account this great storm [is] on you.”
13 Maimakon mutanen su yi haka, sai suka yi ƙoƙari su tura jirgin ruwan zuwa bakin teku. Amma ba su iya ba, saboda iskar ta sa tekun ya yi ta ƙara hauka.
And the men row to turn back to the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more turbulent against them.
14 Sai suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji suka ce, “Ya Ubangiji, in ka yarda kada ka bar mu mu mutu saboda ran mutumin nan. Kada ka yi mana hukuncin masu kisankai, gama kai ne, ya Ubangiji, ka ga ya gamshe ka.”
And they cry to YHWH, and say, “Ah, now, O YHWH, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not lay innocent blood on us! For You, YHWH, as You have pleased, You have done.”
15 Sa’an nan suka ɗauki Yunana suka jefar da shi daga jirgin, sai tekun ya kwanta.
And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceases from its raging;
16 Ganin haka sai mutanen suka cika da tsoron Ubangiji, suka kuma miƙa wa Ubangiji hadaya, suka yi wa’adi da shi.
and the men fear YHWH [with] a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to YHWH, and vow vows.
17 Amma Ubangiji ya tanada wani babban kifi da zai haɗiye Yunana, Yunana kuwa ya yi yini uku da dare uku a ciki cikin kifin.
And YHWH appoints a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.
