< Jonas 1 >

1 Ita, ti sao ni Yahweh ket immay kenni Jonas nga anak a lalaki ni Amittai, kinunana,
Now the word of Yahweh 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 and go to Nineveh, that great city, and speak out against it, because their wickedness has risen 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.
But Jonah got up to run away from the presence of Yahweh and go to Tarshish. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and boarded the ship to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of Yahweh.
4 Ngem imbulos ni Yahweh ti napigsa nga angin iti taaw ket nagbalin daytoy a napigsa a bagyo. Nganngani marba ti barko.
But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea and it became a mighty storm on the sea. Soon it appeared that the ship was going to be broken up.
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.
Then the sailors became very afraid and each man cried out to his own god. They threw the ship's cargo into the sea to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was lying there deeply asleep.
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.”
So the captain came to him and said to him, “What are you doing sleeping? Get up! Call upon your god! Maybe your god will notice us and we will 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.
They all said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots, so that we may know who is the cause of this evil that is happening to us.” So they threw lots, and the lot fell to 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?”
Then they said to Jonah, “Please tell us who is the cause of this evil that is happening to us. What is your occupation, and where did you come from? What is your country, and from which people are you?”
9 Kinuna ni Jonas kadakuada, “Maysaak a Hebreo; ket agbutengak kenni Yahweh, ti Dios ti langit, a nangaramid iti taaw ken ti daga.”
Jonah said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has 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 Jonah, “What is this that you have done?” For the men knew that he was running away from the presence of Yahweh, 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.
Then they said to Jonah, “What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?” For the sea became more and more violent.
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.”
Jonah said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you, for I know that it is because of me that this great storm is happening to 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 them back to the land, but they could not do it because the sea was becoming more and more violent against them.
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.”
Therefore they cried out to Yahweh and said, “We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, do not let us perish on account of this man's life, and do not lay upon us the guilt of his death, because you, Yahweh, have done just as it pleased you.”
15 Binagkatda ngarud ni Jonas ket impuruakda iti taaw, ket nagsardeng ti kinadawel ti taaw. Ket kasta unay ti buteng dagiti lallaki kenni Yahweh.
So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped raging.
16 Nangidatagda iti daton kenni Yahweh ken nagsapatada.
Then the men feared Yahweh very much. They offered sacrifices to Yahweh and made vows.
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 Yahweh had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.
