Jona 1

1 Niheo am’ Ionà ana’ i Amitày ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.

2 Miongaha, akia mb’e Ninevè, rova jabajaba mb’eo, le koiho; amy te mionjoñe añatrefako eo ty halò-tsere’ iareo.

Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.

3 Fe niavotse t’Ionà nipotatsake mb’e Tarsise añe hienga ty fiatrefañe Iehovà naho nizotso mb’e Iafò mb’eo naharendreke sambo hionjoñe mb’e Tarsise añe; aa le finondro’e ty faña­veloa’e naho nijoñ’ ama’e ao hindreza’e mb’e Tarsise mb’eo hisitake ami’ty fiatrefañe am’ Iehovà.

And he arose Jonah to flee Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh and he went down Joppa and he found a ship - [which was] about to go Tarshish and he gave fare its and he went down in it to go with them Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh.

4 Fe nampivovo tio-bey amy ria­key t’Iehovà, le nivalitaboak’ amy zao i riakey, kanao ho niporitsake i samboy.

And Yahweh he threw a wind great to the sea and it was a storm great on the sea and the ship it thought to be broken.

5 Nangebahebak’ amy zao o mpiandriakeo, naho songa nikanjy ty ‘ndrahare’e, vaho nahifi’ iareo an-driak’ ao ty haraotse am-po’ i samboy ao, hañamaivañe aze. Fe nijoñe añ’ate’ i samboy t’Ionà; nandre, niròtse.

And they were afraid the sailors and they cried for help everyone to gods his and they threw the vessels which [were] in the ship into the sea to lighten from on them and Jonah he had gone down into [the] innermost parts of the ship and he had lain down and he had fallen fast asleep.

6 Aa le niheo ama’e mb’eo ty talen-tsambo nanao ty hoe; Ino ty atao’o ry mpirotseo? Miongaha, kanjio o ‘ndrahare’oo, hera hiferenaiña’e tsy hihomake.

And he drew near to him [the] chief of the sailor[s] and he said to him what? [is] to you sleeping arise call to god your perhaps he will give thought the god to us and not we will perish.

7 Le nifanao ty hoe ondatio, Antao hanao parè handren­dreke te ia ty tali’ o hekoheko zao aman-tika. Aa ie nanao kitsapake, le nitsatok’ am’ Ionà.

And they said each to neighbor his come so let us cast lots so we may know by which of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us and they cast lots and it fell the lot on Jonah.

8 Le hoe ty asa’ iareo ama’e, Ehe, itaroño, Ino ty nifetsaha’ o hankàñe zao amantika; Ino o tolon-draha’oo? Le boak’ aia v’iheo? Aia ty tane’o? naho karaza’ ondaty inoñe?

And they said to him tell! please to us because of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us what? [is] occupation your and from where? do you come what? [is] land your and where? from this people [are] you.

9 Le hoe re am’ iereo, nte-Evrè iraho, mpañeveñe am’ Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-dikerañe, Andrianamboatse i riakey naho i tane maikey.

And he said to them [am] a Hebrew I and Yahweh [the] God of the heavens I [am] fearing who he made the sea and the dry land.

10 Nirevendreveñe amy zao ondatio, vaho hoe ty asa’ iareo tama’e, Ino o nanoa’o zao? Fa nifohi’ ondatio t’ie nibotriatse amy fiatrefañe Iehovà amy nisaontsia’ey.

And they feared the men a fear great and they said to him what? this have you done for they knew the men that from to before Yahweh he [was] fleeing for he had told to them.

11 Aa le hoe iereo tama’e, Hanoe’ay inon-drehe hampipendreñe i riakey? fe mbore nitabohazake ty fivalitaboaha’ i riakey.

And they said to him what? will we do to you so it may be calm the sea from on us for the sea [was] going and storming.

12 Le hoe re am’ iereo, rambeso iraho, avokovokò an-driak’ ao; izay vaho ho pendreñe tsy ho ama’areo i riakey, fa apotako te izaho ty nahavia’ o tio-beio.

And he said to them pick up me and throw me into the sea so it may be calm the sea from on you for [am] knowing I that by which to me the storm great this [is] on you.

13 Te mone nivèy mafe o lahilahio hihereñe mb’an-tane, fe tsy nimete; nidabadoa avao i riakey, nitròñe am’ iereo.

And they rowed the men to return to the dry land and not they were able for the sea [was] going and storming on them.

14 Aa le nitoreove’ iereo am’ Iehovà ty hoe: Miambane ama’o zahay ry Iehovà, ehe, ko ampikoromahe’o ty ami’ty fiai’ t’indaty toy, vaho ko apo’o ama’ay ty lio-màliñe, amy te Ihe ry Iehovà ro manao ty satrin-arofo’o.

And they called out to Yahweh and they said we beg you O Yahweh do not please let us perish by [the] life of the man this and may not you put on us blood innocent for you O Yahweh just as you pleased you have done.

15 Rinambe’ iereo amy zao t’Ionà le nahifike an-driak’ ao; vaho nijihetse amy fitroña’ey i riakey.

And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.

16 Vata’e nañeveñe am’ Iehovà ondatio naho nañenga soroñe am’ Iehovà vaho nifanta.

And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.

17 Ie amy zao fa nihentseñe’ Iehovà ty fiañe jabajaba nampigodrañe Ionà. Tam-pò’ i fiañey telo andro naho telo haleñe t’Ionà.

And he appointed Yahweh a fish great to swallow Jonah and he was Jonah in [the] inward parts of the fish three days and three nights.
