Jona 1

1 Ra Anumzamo'a Amitai nemofo Jonana, amanage huno asami'ne,

This message from the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai:

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 that great city, Nineveh, and preach against it; for their wickedness is known to 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 started to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard 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 made a furious wind blow over the sea, and there was such a great storm that the ship was in danger of breaking to 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.

The sailors were terrified and each cried for help to his own god. They threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to make the ship lighter. Meanwhile Jonah had gone down into the bottom of the ship and lay 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!

The captain of the ship went and said to him, ‘How can you sleep? Call on your god; perhaps that god will think of us, so that we may not be lost.’

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.

The sailors said to one another, ‘Come, let us cast lots to discover on whose account this evil has come upon us.’ So they cast lots, and the lot indicated 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.

So they said to him, ‘Are you to blame for this? Tell us, what is your business, and where do you come from? What is your country and to what people do you belong?’

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.

He replied, ‘I am a Hebrew, and a worshipper of the Lord, 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 the men were greatly frightened and said to him, ‘What have you done?’ For they knew that he was fleeing 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 they said to him, ‘What should we do to you, to make the sea calm for us?’ For the sea grew more and more stormy.

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.

He said to them, ‘Take me up and throw me into the sea, and the sea will be calm for you, for I know that it is because of me this fierce storm has overtaken 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.

But instead the men rowed hard to get back to the land; they could not, however, for the sea grew more and more stormy ahead.

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.

So they cried to the Lord and said, ‘We beg you, Lord, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t let us be guilty of shedding innocent blood, for you are the Lord; you have done as it pleases you.’

15 Anante Jonana asgahu'za hage rimpi matevu'za atrageno, avunema nentea hagerimo'a aru rava ahe'ne.

And they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea became calm.

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 greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice and made vows to him.

17 Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a tusi'a nozame huntegeno Jonana asga huvazigeno, Jona'a nozamemofo rimpafina tagufa zagegi, tagufa kenageki huno mani'ne.

But the Lord arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.
