< Jona 1 >

1 Ra Anumzamo'a Amitai nemofo Jonana, amanage huno asami'ne,
Now the word of Jehovah 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 Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish, and paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah.
4 Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a tusi'a zaho ko huntegeno hagerimo emeri kranto kranto nehigeno ana ventemo tagana vazi'za hu'ne.
But Jehovah sent forth a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken in pieces.
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 they cast forth the things that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah had gone down to the lower part 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!
And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God! Perhaps God will think upon 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 one to another, come, and let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil is upon us! And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon 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 thee, on whose account this evil is upon us. What is thy business? And whence comest thou? What is thy country? And of what people art thou?
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 a Hebrew; and I fear Jehovah, the God of heaven, who 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, Wherefore hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of Jehovah, 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 thee, that the sea may be calm to us? For the sea grew more and more 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; and the sea shall be calm to you. For I know that because of me this great tempest is upon 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 the ship to the land; but they could not; for the sea grew more and more 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.
And they cried to Jehovah, and said, We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for the life of this man, and lay not upon us innocent blood! For thou, O Jehovah, hast done as it pleased thee.
15 Anante Jonana asgahu'za hage rimpi matevu'za atrageno, avunema nentea hagerimo'a aru rava ahe'ne.
And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased from its 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 Jehovah exceedingly, and offered sacrifice to Jehovah, 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 Jehovah had appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
