< Yoonis 1 >
1 Haddaba waxaa Yoonis ina Amitay u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo sidan ku leh,
And the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying:
2 Kac, oo waxaad tagtaa magaaladaas weyn oo Nineweh, oo iyada ku qayli, waayo, sharkoodii wuxuu yimid hortayda.
Rise and go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach in it. For its malice has ascended before my eyes.
3 Laakiinse Yoonis wuxuu u kacay inuu Rabbiga hortiisa ka cararo oo xagga Tarshiish u baxsado. Markaasuu Yaafaa u dhaadhacay oo wuxuu halkaas ka helay doonni Tarshiish tegaysa. Sidaas daraaddeed lacagtii nooliguu bixiyey, kolkaasuu gudaha galay, waayo, wuxuu doonayay inuu iyaga Tarshiish u raaco oo uu ka cararo Rabbiga hortiisa.
And Jonah rose in order to flee from the face of the Lord to Tarshish. And he went down to Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. And he paid its fare, and he went down into it, in order to go with them to Tarshish from the face of the Lord.
4 Laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu baddii ku soo daayay dabayl weyn, kolkaasaa waxaa baddii ka dhex kacay duufaan xoog leh, doonnidiina waxay ku dhowaatay inay burburto.
But the Lord sent a great wind into the sea. And a great tempest took place in the sea, and the ship was in danger of being crushed.
5 Markaasay raggii baxriyiinta ahaa aad u baqeen, oo mid waluba wuxuu u qayshaday ilaahiisii. Alaabtii doonnida ku jirtayna badday ku dhex tuureen, si ay doonnidu iyaga ugu fududaato. Laakiinse wuxuu Yoonis mar hore u dhaadhacay doonnida meesha ugu hoosaysa, oo halkaasuu seexday, wuxuuna ku jiray hurdo weyn.
And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried out to their god. And they threw the containers that were in the ship into the sea in order to lighten it of them. And Jonah went down into the interior of the ship, and he fell into a painful deep sleep.
6 Haddaba waxaa isagii u yimid naakhudihii doonnida, oo ku yidhi, Hurdahayow, maxaad u jeeddaa? Kac oo Ilaahaaga u qayli, waaba intaasoo uu inaga fikiraa inaannan halligmine.
And the helmsman approached him, and he said to him, “Why are you weighed down with sleep? Rise, call upon your God, so perhaps God will be mindful of us and we might not perish.”
7 Oo wuxuu midba midkii kale ku yidhi, Kaalaya aynu saami ridannee si aan u ogaanno kan aawadiis belaayadanu inoogu dhacday. Sidaas daraaddeed saami bay riteen, oo saamigiina wuxuu ku dhacay Yoonis.
And a man said to his shipmate, “Come, and let us cast lots, so that we may know why this disaster is upon us.” And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Markaasay waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye noo sheeg kan aawadiis belaayadanu inoogu dhacday. Waa maxay shuqulkaagu? Oo xaggee baad ka timid? Waddankaagu waa kee? Dadkaaguna waa ayo?
And they said to him: “Explain to us what is the reason that this disaster is upon us. What is your work? Which is your country? And where are you going? Or which people are you from?”
9 Oo isna wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxaan ahay Cibraani, oo waxaan ka cabsadaa Rabbiga ah Ilaaha samada, oo ah Kan abuuray badda iyo berrigaba.
And he said to them, “I am Hebrew, and I fear the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
10 Markaasay nimankii aad iyo aad u cabsadeen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Waa maxay waxa aad samaysay? Waayo, waxay ogaadeen inuu Rabbiga hortiisa ka soo cararay, maxaa yeelay, isagaa u sheegay.
And the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him, “Why have you done this?” (For the men knew that he was fleeing from the face of the Lord, because he had told them.)
11 Markaasay ku yidhaahdeen, Si baddu noogu degto aawadeed haddaba bal maxaannu kugu samaynaa? Waayo, badda duufaankeedii aad iyo aad buu u sii weynaaday.
And they said to him, “What are we to do with you, so that the sea will cease for us?” For the sea flowed and swelled.
12 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Kor ii qaada oo badda igu dhex tuura, sidaasay baddu idiinku degi doontaaye, waayo, waxaan ogahay in duufaankan weynu daraadday idiinku soo kacay.
And he said to them, “Take me, and cast me into the sea, and the sea will cease for you. For I know that it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you.”
13 Habase yeeshee nimankii aad bay seeb doonnidii ugu wadeen oo ugu dadaaleen inay xeebtii ku soo noqdaan, laakiinse way kari waayeen, maxaa yeelay, badda duufaankeedii oo ka gees ahaa aad iyo aad buu u sii weynaaday.
And the men were rowing, so as to return to dry land, but they did not succeed. For the sea flowed and swelled against them.
14 Markaasay Rabbiga u qayshadeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Rabbiyow, waannu ku baryaynaa, oo waannu ku baryaynaaye, yaannan u halligmin nolosha ninkan aawadeed, oo annaga ha na saarin dhiig aan xaq qabin, waayo, Rabbiyow, waxaad samaysay sidii aad ku faraxday.
And they cried out to the Lord, and they said, “We beseech you, Lord, do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not attribute to us innocent blood. For you, Lord, have done just as it pleased you.”
15 Sidaas daraaddeed Yoonis bay kor u qaadeen oo waxay ku dhex tuureen baddii, kolkaasay baddii joojisay cadhadeedii.
And they took Jonah and cast him into the sea. And the sea was stilled from its fury.
16 Markaasay nimankii aad iyo aad Rabbiga uga cabsadeen, oo waxay Rabbiga u bixiyeen allabari, nidarrona way galeen.
And the men feared the Lord greatly, and they sacrificed victims to the Lord, and they made vows.
17 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu Yoonis u diyaariyey kalluun weyn oo isaga liqa; Yoonisna wuxuu kalluunka calooshiisii ku dhex jiray saddex habeen iyo saddex maalmood.
And the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights.
