Yoonaas 1

1 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Yoonaas ilma Amitaayi dhufe:

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

2 “Sababii hamminni ishee fuula koo dura dhufeef, gara Nanawwee magaalaa guddittii dhaqiitii isheedhaan mormuudhaan itti lallabi.”

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

3 Yoonaas garuu Waaqayyo duraa baqatee Tarshiishitti qajeele. Innis Yoopheetti gad buʼee doonii gara Tarshiish deemu tokko argate. Erga gatii geejjibaa baasee booddee Waaqayyo duraa miliquuf jedhee doonii yaabbatee Tarshiishitti imale.

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 Waaqayyo bubbee jabaa tokko galaanatti erge; dambaliin akka malee jabaan tokko kaanaan dooniin sun gargar caccabuu gaʼe.

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 Warri doonii sana oofan hundinuu akka malee sodaatanii tokkoon tokkoon isaanii waaqa isaaniitti iyyatan. Isaanis baʼaa xinneessuuf jedhanii doonii irraa feʼiisa galaanatti gad dadarbatan. Yoonaas garuu garaa doonii seenee ciisee achitti hirribni guddaan isa qabe.

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 Ajajaan doonii sanaa gara isaa dhufee, “Ati akkam akkas rafuu dandeessa? Kaʼii waaqa kee waammadhu! Tarii inni nuu dhagaʼee nus duʼa oolla taʼaatii” jedheen.

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 Warri doonii oofanis, “Kottaa nama balaa kana nutti fide beekuuf ixaa buufannaatii” waliin jedhan. Isaan ixaa buufannaan ixaan sun Yoonaas irra buʼe.

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 Kanaafuu isaan, “Mee nutti himi; namni balaa nutti dhufe kana hundaaf itti gaafatamu eenyu? Hojiin kee maali? Ati eessaa dhufte? Biyyi kee eessa? Ati saba kam keessaa dhalatte?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.

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 Innis, “Ani Ibricha Waaqayyo, Waaqa isa samii, galaanaa fi lafa uume sana waaqeffatuu dha” jedhee deebise.

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 Wanni kun isaan sodaachisnaan, “Ati maal goote?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Isaanis sababii inni duraanuu isaanitti himeef akka inni Waaqayyo duraa miliquuf baqachuutti jiru beekan.

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 Galaanni sunis ittuma caalchisee raafamaa dhufe. Kanaafuu isaan, “Nu amma galaana kana tasgabbeessuuf maal si gochuu qabna?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.

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 Innis, “Ol na fuudhaatii galaanatti na darbadhaa; ergasii galaanichi gab jedha. Ani akka dhaʼaan galaanaa hamaan kun sababii balleessaa kootiitiif dhufe nan beeka” jedhee deebise.

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 Namoonni sun garuu qooda kanaa doonii sana gara qarqaraatti baasuuf waan dandaʼan hunda yaalan. Isaan garuu galaanni sun ittuma caalchisee raafamaa waan dhufeef baasuu hin dandeenye.

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 Kana irratti isaan, “Yaa Waaqayyo, ati sababii lubbuu namicha kanaatiif jettee nu hin fixin. Yaa Waaqayyo ati waan akkuma feete hojjetteef yakka lubbuu nama balleessaa hin qabnee ajjeesuu nutti hin herregin” jedhanii gara Waaqayyootti iyyatan.

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 Akkasiin Yoonaasin fuudhanii doonii irraa gad darbatan; galaanni raafamaa ture sunis gab jedhe.

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

16 Kana irratti namoonni sun akka malee Waaqayyoon sodaatanii aarsaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan; wareegas wareeganiif.

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

17 Waaqayyo garuu akka inni Yoonaasin liqimsuuf qurxummii guddaa tokko qopheesse; Yoonaasis guyyaa sadii fi halkan sadii garaa qurxummii sanaa keessa ture.

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.
