Jonas 1

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

The word of the Lord also came unto Jonah the son of 'Amitthai, saying,

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

Arise, Go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against her; 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 unto Tharshish from the presence of the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tharshish, and paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tharshish, 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 excited a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea; and it was thought that the ship would be broken in pieces.

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.

And the mariners were afraid, and called every man unto his god; and they cast forth the articles which were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah was gone down into the hold of the ship, and lay down, 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 ship-master came near unto him, and said unto him, Why dost thou sleep? arise, call upon thy God: perhaps it be that God will think of us, that we may not be lost.

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 one to the other, Come, and let us cast lots; that we may know for whose cause this evil hath happened unto us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon 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 unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, thou for whose cause this evil hath happened unto us, What is thy business? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?

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

And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who hath 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 they said unto him, What is this thou hast done? for the men knew that he was flying 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.

And they said unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may become calm around us? for the sea grew more and more 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 unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea: so shall the sea be calm around you; for I know well that because of me is this great tempest upon 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 [the ship] back to the land; but they could not; for the sea grew more and more tempestuous around 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.

And they called unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, let us not be lost, we pray thee, for the life of this man, and lay not upon us [the guilt of] innocent blood; for thou art the Lord, as it pleaseth thee so dost thou do.

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

And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.

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

And the men feared the Lord very greatly; and they offered a sacrifice unto 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.

And the Lord made ready a large fish to swallow up Jonah: and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
