Jonas 1

1 Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Jonu, Amitajus dēlu, sacīdams:

Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

2 Celies, ej uz Ninivi, to lielo pilsētu, un sludini pret to, jo viņas bezdievība ir uzkāpusi Manā priekšā.

Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

3 Bet Jona cēlās, bēgt no Tā Kunga vaiga uz Taršišu; un viņš nogāja uz Joppi un tur atrada laivu, kas gāja uz Taršišu, un nodeva maksu un kāpa iekšā, ar tiem braukt uz Taršišu, nost no Tā Kunga vaiga.

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 Bet Tas Kungs lika nākt lielam vējam jūrā, un liela vētra cēlās jūrā, tā ka tā laiva taisījās lūst.

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 Tad tie laivinieki bijās un kliedza ikviens uz savu dievu un meta tos rīkus, kas laivā bija, jūrā, laivu atvieglināt no tiem. Bet Jona bija nogājis laivas apakšā un gulēja cietā miegā.

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 Tad laivas virsnieks pie viņa nāca un uz viņu sacīja: ko tu guli? Celies, piesauc savu Dievu, varbūt ka tas Dievs mūs pieminēs, ka mēs neejam bojā.

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 Un tie sacīja cits uz citu: iesim, metīsim meslus(lozes), lai zinām, kura dēļ šis ļaunums mums uziet? Un kad tie mesloja, tad Jona tapa iezīmēts.

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 Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: saki mums jel, kādēļ šis ļaunums pār mums nāk? Kāds tavs amats un no kurienes tu nāci? Kura ir tava zeme, un no kuras tautas tu esi?

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 Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: es esmu Ebrejs un bīstos To Kungu, to debes' Dievu, kas jūru un sausumu radījis.

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 Tad tie vīri bijās ar lielu bijāšanu un uz viņu sacīja: kā tu tā esi darījis? Jo tie vīri zināja, ka viņš no Tā Kunga vaiga bēga, jo viņš tiem to bija stāstījis.

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 Un tie uz viņu sacīja: ko lai mēs ar tevi darām, ka jūra mums nostājās? Jo jūra palika arvienu briesmīgāka.

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 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: ņemiet mani un metiet mani jūrā, tad jūra jums nostāsies; jo es zinu, ka šī lielā vētra pār jums nāk manis dēļ.

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 Bet tie vīri airēja un gribēja laivu vest malā, bet tie neiespēja, jo jūra palika arvienu briesmīgāka.

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 Tad tie piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: ak Kungs, lai jel mēs neejam bojā šā vīra dvēseles dēļ, un nepielīdzini mums nenoziedzīgas asinis, jo Tu, Kungs, esi darījis, kā Tev bija pa prātam.

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 Un tie ņēma Jonu un viņu iemeta jūrā; tad jūra nostājās no savas kaukšanas.

So they look up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.

16 Tad tie vīri bijās To Kungu ar lielu bijāšanu un upurēja Tam Kungam upurus un solīja solījumus.

Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD, and made vows.

17 Un Tas Kungs sūtīja lielu zivi, Jonu aprīt, un Jona sabija tās zivs vēderā trīs dienas un trīs naktis.

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.
