< Jona 1 >

1 Doðe rijeè Gospodnja Joni sinu Amatijevu govoreæi:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah son of Amittai, saying:
2 Ustani, idi u Nineviju grad veliki, i propovijedaj protiv njega, jer izaðe zloæa njihova preda me.
'Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness hath come up before Me.'
3 A Jona usta da bježi u Tarsis od Gospoda, i sišav u Jopu naðe laðu koja iðaše u Tarsis, i plativ vozarinu uðe u nju da otide s njima u Tarsis od Gospoda.
And Jonah riseth to flee to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah, and goeth down [to] Joppa, and findeth a ship going [to] Tarshish, and he giveth its fare, and goeth down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah.
4 Ali Gospod podiže velik vjetar na moru, i posta velika bura na moru da mišljahu da æe se razbiti laða.
And Jehovah hath cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great tempest in the sea, and the ship hath reckoned to be broken;
5 I laðari uplašivši se prizivahu svaki svojega boga, i bacahu što bješe u laði u more da bi bila lakša; a Jona bješe sišao na dno laði, i legav spavaše tvrdo.
and the mariners are afraid, and cry each unto his god, and cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make [it] light of them; and Jonah hath gone down unto the sides of the vessel, and he lieth down, and is fast asleep.
6 A upravitelj od laðe pristupi k njemu i reèe mu: šta ti spavaš! ustani, prizivaj Boga svojega, ne bi li nas se opomenuo Bog da ne poginemo.
And the chief of the company draweth near to him, and saith to him, 'What — to thee, O sleeper? rise, call unto thy God, it may be God doth bethink himself of us, and we do not perish.'
7 Potom rekoše jedan drugome: hodite, da bacimo ždrijeb da vidimo sa koga doðe na nas ovo zlo. I baciše ždrijeb, i pade ždrijeb na Jonu.
And they say each unto his neighbour, 'Come, and we cast lots, and we know on whose account this evil [is] on us.' And they cast lots, and the lot falleth on Jonah.
8 Tada mu rekoše: kaži nam zašto doðe ovo zlo na nas; koje si radnje? i odakle ideš? iz koje si zemlje? i od koga si naroda?
And they say unto him, 'Declare to us, we pray thee, on what account this evil [is] on us? what [is] thine occupation, and whence comest thou? what [is] thy country, seeing thou art not of this people?'
9 A on im reèe: Jevrejin sam, i bojim se Gospoda Boga nebeskoga, koji je stvorio more i suhu zemlju.
And he saith unto them, 'A Hebrew I [am], and Jehovah, God of the heavens, I am reverencing, who made the sea and the dry land.'
10 Tada se vrlo uplašiše ljudi, i rekoše mu: što si uèinio? Jer doznaše ljudi da bježi od Gospoda, jer im on kaza.
And the men fear a great fear, and say unto him, 'What [is] this thou hast done!' for the men have known that from the face of Jehovah he is fleeing, for he hath told them.
11 I rekoše mu: što æemo èiniti s tobom, da bi nam more utolilo? Jer bura na moru bivaše sve veæa.
And they say unto him, 'What do we do to thee that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more tempestuous?'
12 A on im reèe: uzmite me i bacite me u more, i more æe vam utoliti, jer vidim da je s mene došla na vas ova velika bura.
And he saith unto them, 'Lift me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea doth cease from you; for I know that on my account this great tempest [is] upon you.'
13 A ljudi stadoše veslati da bi došli ka kraju; ali ne mogahu, jer im bura na moru bivaše sve veæa.
And the men row to turn back unto the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more tempestuous against them.
14 Tada prizvaše Gospoda i rekoše: molimo ti se, Gospode, da ne poginemo radi duše ovoga èovjeka, i nemoj metnuti na nas krvi prave, jer ti, Gospode, èiniš kako hoæeš.
And they cry unto Jehovah, and say, 'We pray Thee, O Jehovah, let us not, we pray Thee, perish for this man's life, and do not lay on us innocent blood, for Thou, Jehovah, as Thou hast pleased, Thou hast done.'
15 Potom uzeše Jonu i baciše ga u more, i presta bura na moru.
And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceaseth from its raging;
16 Tada se pobojaše oni ljudi Gospoda vrlo, i prinesoše žrtvu Gospodu i uèiniše zavjete.
and the men fear Jehovah — a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to Jehovah, and vow vows.
17 A Gospod zapovjedi, te velika riba proguta Jonu; i Jona bi u trbuhu ribljem tri dana i tri noæi.
And Jehovah appointeth a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.
