< Jonas 1 >

1 Ita, ti sao ni Yahweh ket immay kenni Jonas nga anak a lalaki ni Amittai, kinunana,
Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
2 “Agrubbuatka ket mapanka idiay Nineve, ti dakkel a siudad ket agsaoka ti maibusor iti daytoy, gapu ta dimmanon kaniak ti kinadakesda.”
“Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before Me.”
3 Ngem nagrubbuat ni Jonas a mapan idiay Tarsis tapno itarayanna ti imatang ni Yahweh. Simmalog isuna idiay Joppe ket nakasarak iti barko nga agturong idiay Tarsis. Binayadanna ngarud ti pletena ket naglugan iti barko tapno kumuyog kadakuada nga agturong idiay Tarsis, adayo iti imatang ni Yahweh.
Jonah, however, got up to flee to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard to sail for Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.
4 Ngem imbulos ni Yahweh ti napigsa nga angin iti taaw ket nagbalin daytoy a napigsa a bagyo. Nganngani marba ti barko.
Then the LORD hurled a great wind upon the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship was in danger of breaking apart.
5 Nagbuteng unay dagiti tripulante ket immawag ti tunggal lalaki iti bukodna a dios. Impurruakda dagiti karga ti barko iti taaw tapno lumag-an daytoy. Ngem adda ni Jonas iti kaunegan a kadsaaran ti barko ken agid-idda sadiay a narnekan ti turogna.
The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down to the lowest part of the vessel, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
6 Isu nga immay ti kapitan kenkuana ket kinunana, Ania ti ar-aramidem, matmaturog? Bumangonka! Awagam ti diosmo! Bareng no makitanatayo ti diosmo ket saantayo a matay.”
The captain approached him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call upon your God. Perhaps this God will consider us, so that we may not perish.”
7 Kinunada iti tunggal maysa, “Umaykayo, agbibinnunottayo, tapno maammoantayo no siasino ti nakaigapuan daytoy dakes a mapaspasamak kadatayo.” Isu a nagbibinnunotda ket nabunot ti nagan ni Jonas.
“Come!” said the sailors to one another. “Let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity that is upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
8 Ket kinunada kenni Jonas, “Pangaasim ta ibagam kadakami no siasino ti nakaigapuan daytoy dakes a mapaspasamak kadatayo. Ania ti trabahom ken sadino ti naggapuam? Ania ti pagiliam ken ania a puli ti nagtaudam?”
“Tell us now,” they demanded, “who is to blame for this calamity that is upon us? What is your occupation, and where have you come from? What is your country, and who are your people?”
9 Kinuna ni Jonas kadakuada, “Maysaak a Hebreo; ket agbutengak kenni Yahweh, ti Dios ti langit, a nangaramid iti taaw ken ti daga.”
“I am a Hebrew,” replied Jonah. “I worship the LORD, the God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”
10 Ad-adda ngarud a nagbuteng dagiti lallaki ket kinunada kenni Jonas, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo?” Ta ammo dagiti lallaki nga itartarayanna ti imatang ni Yahweh, gapu ta imbagana kadakuada.
Then the men were even more afraid and said to him, “What have you done?” The men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
11 Ket kinunada kenni Jonas, “Ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenmi kenka tapno agtalna ti taaw kadatayo?” Ta ad-adda a dimmawel ti taaw.
Now the sea was growing worse and worse, so they said to Jonah, “What must we do to you to calm this sea for us?”
12 Kinuna ni Jonas kadakuada, “Bagkatendak ket ipurruakdak iti taaw. Ket agkalmanto ti taaw kadakayo, ta ammok a gapu kaniak a mapaspasamak daytoy napigsa a bagyo.”
“Pick me up,” he answered, “and cast me into the sea, so it may quiet down for you. For I know that I am to blame for this violent storm that has come upon you.”
13 Nupay kasta, naggaud ti kasta unay dagiti lallaki tapno makasublida iti daga, ngem saanda a maaramid daytoy gapu ta ad-adda a dumawdawel ti taaw a maibusor kadakuada.
Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea was raging against them more and more.
14 Ngarud, immawagda kenni Yahweh ket kinunada, “Agpakpakaasikami kenka Yahweh, agpakpakaasikami kenka, saanmo nga ipalubos a mataykami maigapu iti biag daytoy a lalaki, ken saanmo nga ipabasol kadakami ti ipapatayna, gapu ta sika, Yahweh, inaramidmo laeng ti makaay-ayo kenka.”
So they cried out to the LORD: “Please, O LORD, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life! Do not charge us with innocent blood! For You, O LORD, have done as You pleased.”
15 Binagkatda ngarud ni Jonas ket impuruakda iti taaw, ket nagsardeng ti kinadawel ti taaw. Ket kasta unay ti buteng dagiti lallaki kenni Yahweh.
At this, they picked up Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the raging sea grew calm.
16 Nangidatagda iti daton kenni Yahweh ken nagsapatada.
Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to Him.
17 Ita, nangisagana ni Yahweh iti dakkel nga ikan a mangalun-on kenni Jonas ket adda ni Jonas iti tian ti ikan iti tallo nga aldaw ken tallo a rabii.
Now the LORD had appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the fish.
