< Jona 1 >

1 Ra Anumzamo'a Amitai nemofo Jonana, amanage huno asami'ne,
Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Otinka tusi'a rankumate Ninive vunka, kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza zankura kezatinka Anumzamo'a keaga huneramante hunka zamasmio. Na'ankure kefo zamavu'zamava'ma hu'nazana hago Nagra ke'noe.
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'ma Jonama hunteno, vuoma hirega ovuno atreno freno Tasisi vunaku agesa nentahino, Jopa uramino Tasisi vuku nehia vente ome kefore huteno, vania zana tafera mizaseteno Ra Anumzamofona atreno freno, afete Tasisi kumate vu'naku ventefi mareri'ne.
But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
4 Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a tusi'a zaho ko huntegeno hagerimo emeri kranto kranto nehigeno ana ventemo tagana vazi'za hu'ne.
But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Ana ventefima eri'za e'neriza vahe'mo'za tusi koro nehu'za zamagra anumaza zamire kezankea nehu'za fenoma ventefima me'neana o'za hurantesie hu'za asgahu'za hagerimpi atre'naze. Ana hazanagi, Jona'a ana ventemofo agu'afi fenka uramino avu uvaseno, hinkrafo ante'ne.
Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 Mase'negeno ana vente'ma eneria ne'mo'a agrite uramino, nahigenka kagra kavura mase'nane? Otinka anumzankamofontega nunamuna huo, kagri anumzamo'a tagrikura asunku huranteno taza hanigeta tagra ofrisune!
So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What mean you, O sleeper? arise, call on your God, if so be that God will think on us, that we perish not.
7 Ana ventefi eri'za vahe'mo'za ke hugantu kama hu'za, E'nenketa satu zokagora reta ama'na hazenke'mofona aza ugagota hu'nefi kamneno, nehu'za satu zagoma re'za kazana Jona agimo efore hu'ne.
And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is on us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
8 Ana hute'za Jonana anage huza antahige'naze, Iza hu'nea hazenkere hagerimo'a tagrira tahe refite'zana nehie? Kagra nankna eri'za e'nerina ne' mani'nane? Kagra igati e'nane? Rankuma ka'a igatire? Kagra ina vahepinti fore hunane? Hu'za antahige'naze.
Then said they to him, Tell us, we pray you, for whose cause this evil is on us; What is your occupation? and from where come you? what is your country? and of what people are you?
9 Jona'a ke nona huzmanteno anage hu'ne, nagra Hibru nere, monafinka Anumzama hagerine, hagege mopanema tro hu'nea Ra Anumzamofonte nagra monora hunentoe.
And he said to them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which has made the sea and the dry land.
10 Anagema hige'za ventema eneriza vahe'mo'za nentahi'za, tusi zamanogu nehu'za, anage hu'za Jonana antahige'naze. Kagra inankna hazenke hu'nane? Na'ankure Jona'ma Anumzamofonkema rutagreno fre'nea kea ana nagara zamasamige'za antahi'nareti hu'naze.
Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him. Why have you done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
11 Hagerimo'a mago'ene tusiza huno kranto kranto huno regazarino avune ante'no e'ne. Hige'za Jonana antahige'naze, Inankna kagrira hugante sunkeno hage rimo'a rurava hegahie?
Then said they to him, What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea worked, and was tempestuous.
12 Hazageno nagrira nasgahutma hagerimpi matevu natrenkeno, timo'a rurava hino. Nagra hago ke'na antahina nehue, na'ankure nagri hazenke zamofo agofetu hagerimo'a tamagritera avunea nente, huno zamasmi'ne.
And he said to them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is on you.
13 E'inama nehiana netre'za ana vahe'mo'za tusiza hu'za avame ante'za tin ankenare vu'zante maraguzati'naze. Ana hu'nazanagi, amuhara osu'naze. Na'ankure hagerimo'a mago'ane erirankasege'za ankenarega vugara osu'naze.
Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea worked, and was tempestuous against them.
14 Anante Anumzamofo kezatimi'za, Ra Anumzamoka muse (plis) hugantonanki ama ne'ma ahe frisuna zankure hunka tagrira tahe fanane osuo. Ama ke'a omane ne'ma ahe frisuna zankura, tagrira tazerinka keaga huoranto, Kagriku huta amanahura huntegahune, Ra Anumzamoka kavesiniaza Kagra huo.
Why they cried to the LORD, and said, We beseech you, O LORD, we beseech you, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not on us innocent blood: for you, O LORD, have done as it pleased you.
15 Anante Jonana asgahu'za hage rimpi matevu'za atrageno, avunema nentea hagerimo'a aru rava ahe'ne.
So they look up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Anama hiazanku ana vahe'mo'za, Ra Anumzamofona tusi'a koro hunte'za, Kresramana vunente'za, mago'a huvempa kea Agrite hu'naze.
Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD, and made vows.
17 Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a tusi'a nozame huntegeno Jonana asga huvazigeno, Jona'a nozamemofo rimpafina tagufa zagegi, tagufa kenageki huno mani'ne.
Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
