Иона 1

1 Сля лав РАЕСТАР Ионасти, чявэ Амиттаёхкирэсти:

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

2 — Вщи, джя ды Ниневия, баро форо, тай роспхэн ды лэ, со дума пала врыти рындуря кадылэн манушэн доджиля ды ман.

“Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city, and speak out against it, because their wickedness has risen up before me.”

3 Нэ Иона вщиля, соб тэ нашэ ды Таршыш РАЕСТАР, тай авиля ды Яффа, аракхля корабли, саво оджялас ды Таршыш, потинда, соб лэ тэ пролиджян, и заджиля ды лэ, соб тэ авэ РАЕСТАР ды Таршыш.

But Jonah got up to run away from the presence of Yahweh and go to Tarshish. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and boarded the ship to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of Yahweh.

4 Нэ РАЙ бичялда пы море састо балвал. Тирдапэ баро гвалто, и кораблести трэбуни сля тэ розмарэпэ.

But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea and it became a mighty storm on the sea. Soon it appeared that the ship was going to be broken up.

5 Матросуря здарэнэпэ тай ачиле тэ типисявэ кожно пэхкирэ дэвлэсти. Вонэ вычютэ всаворэ бужэ кораблестар ды пане, соб тэ авэл локхэдэр. Нэ Иона ды калэ смукляпэ андрэ, пыля тай састэс засута.

Then the sailors became very afraid and each man cried out to his own god. They threw the ship's cargo into the sea to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was lying there deeply asleep.

6 Капитано кораблехкоро авиля лэстэ тай пхэнда лэсти: — Со ту совэх? Вщи, типисяв тирэ Дэвлэсти. Ко джянэл, Вов ушунэла амэн, тай амэ на хасяваґа.

So the captain came to him and said to him, “What are you doing sleeping? Get up! Call upon your god! Maybe your god will notice us and we will not perish.”

7 Матросуря пхэндэ екх екхэсти: — Джям, чюваґа жребиё, соб тэ уджянэ, пала ка кадыя грыжа авиля пы амэн. Вонэ чютэ жребиё, и жребиё выпыля пы Иона.

They all said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots, so that we may know who is the cause of this evil that is happening to us.” So they threw lots, and the lot fell to Jonah.

8 Тунчи вонэ пхэндэ лэсти: — Пхэн амэнди, пала ка дорэсля амэн кадыя грыжа? Соґа ту залэхпэ? Катар ту джях? Тев тири пхув? Савэндар ту манушэндар?

Then they said to Jonah, “Please tell us who is the cause of this evil that is happening to us. What is your occupation, and where did you come from? What is your country, and from which people are you?”

9 Вов пхэнда лэнди: — Мэ евреё, даравпэ РАЕСТАР, Дэвлэ болыбнахкирэ, Саво стирда баро пани тай пхув.

Jonah said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.”

10 Тунчи Иона пхэнда лэнди, со вов нашэл РАЕСТАР. Кала мануша уджянгле пала када, вонэ фартэ пэрэдарэне тай пхэндэ лэсти: — Сости ту када тирдан?

Then the men were even more afraid and said to Jonah, “What is this that you have done?” For the men knew that he was running away from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.

11 Море на пэрэачелас гвалтовать. Вонэ пхэндэ лэсти: — Со амэнди тэ тирэ туґа, тэ на гвалтует море?

Then they said to Jonah, “What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?” For the sea became more and more violent.

12 Тунчи вов пхэнда лэнди: — Лэн ман и вычювэн ды море, тай море пэрэачела гвалтовать важ тумэнди. Мэ джянав, со кадыя бари грыжа доросля тумэн пала ман.

Jonah said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you, for I know that it is because of me that this great storm is happening to you.”

13 Нэ кала мануша ачиле фартыдэр тэ тирэ бути, соб тэ прыаче пхуятэ, лэндэ нисо на выджялас, колэсти со море на пэрэачелас гвалтовать.

Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get them back to the land, but they could not do it because the sea was becoming more and more violent against them.

14 Тунчи вонэ типисине РАЕСТИ тай пхэндэ: — Мангах Тут, РАЕ, тэ на хасявах пала води кадылэ манушэ, тай на прычувэґа амэнди навуджило рат. Ту, РАЕ, стирдан, со Ту камлян!

Therefore they cried out to Yahweh and said, “We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, do not let us perish on account of this man's life, and do not lay upon us the guilt of his death, because you, Yahweh, have done just as it pleased you.”

15 Вонэ лиле Иона тай вычютэ ды пане, тай пы море авиля пачя.

So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped raging.

16 Матросуря фартэ пэрэдаранепэ РАЕСТАР, андэ Лэсти жэртва и дыне солах.

Then the men feared Yahweh very much. They offered sacrifices to Yahweh and made vows.

17 РАЙ бичялда баро мачё, тай вой прозумавда Иона. Вов просля андрэ ды пэр мачестэ трин дивэ тай трин рятя.

Now Yahweh had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.
