Jonas 1
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Wala Nagtuman si Jonas sa Dios
1 Karon, naghambal ang Ginoo kay Jonas nga anak ni Amitai. Siling niya, 2 “Magkadto ka gilayon sa Nineve, ang dako nga siyudad, kag paandami ang mga tawo didto, tungod nakaabot na sa akon ang ila kalautan.” 3 Pero naglakat gilayon si Jonas agod magpalagyo sa Ginoo[a] sa Tarshish. Nagdulhog siya sa Jopa kag nakakita siya didto sang barko nga mabiyahe pa-Tarshish. Gani nagbayad siya sang pamasahe kag nagsakay sa barko upod sa mga tripulante agod magpalagyo sa Ginoo.
4 Sang nagapanakayon na sila, nagpadala ang Ginoo sang mabaskog nga hangin sa dagat, kag nagbagyo sing mabaskog hasta nga daw maguba na ang barko. 5 Gani hinadlukan ang mga tripulante, kag ang kada isa sa ila nagpangayo sang bulig sa ila mga dios. Ginhaboy nila ang ila mga kargaminto sa dagat agod magmag-an ang barko.
Si Jonas iya nakapanaog na sadto sa idalom nga parte sang barko kag naghigda didto hasta nga natulugan siya sing mahamuok. 6 Karon, nagkadto sa iya ang kapitan sang barko kag nagsiling, “Ano ka imo nga nagatulog ka pa! Bangon, kag magpangayo bulig sa imo dios! Basi pa lang maluoy siya sa aton, kag buligan niya kita agod indi kita mapatay.”
7 Karon, naghambalanay ang mga tripulante, “Dali magabot-gabot kita agod mahibaluan ta kon sin-o ang kabangdanan sang sini nga kalamidad nga nag-abot sa aton.” Gani naggabot-gabot sila, kag ang nagabutan amo ang ngalan ni Jonas. 8 Dayon nagsiling sila sa iya, “Palihog sugiri kami kon sin-o gid bala ang kabangdanan sang sini nga kalamidad nga nag-abot sa aton, kag kon ano ang imo trabaho kag kon sa diin ka naghalin. Sugiri man kami kon ano ang imo nasyon kag rasa.” 9 Nagsabat si Jonas, “Hebreo ako kag nagasimba ako sa Ginoo, ang Dios sang langit[b] nga naghimo sang dagat kag sang duta.” 10 Gani hinadlukan gid ang mga tripulante tungod kay ginsugid na sa ila nga daan ni Jonas nga nagpalagyo siya sa Ginoo. Nagsiling sila sa iya, “Indi maayo ang ginhimo mo.”
11 Sang nagamadlos na gid, nagsiling ang mga tripulante kay Jonas, “Ano ang himuon namon sa imo agod magkalma ang dagat kag indi na makaperwisyo sa amon?” 12 Nagsabat siya sa ila, “Hakwata ninyo ako kag ihulog sa dagat, kag dayon magakalma ang dagat kag indi na ini makaperwisyo sa inyo. Kay nahibaluan ko nga ako ang kabangdanan kon ngaa nag-abot ining mabaskog nga bagyo sa inyo.” 13 Wala nila ginsunod si Jonas, sa baylo, nagpamugsay sila pabalik sa higad. Pero binudlayan sila kay nagamadlos na gid tapat. 14 Gani nagpanawag sila sa Ginoo. Siling nila, “O Ginoo, nagapakitluoy kami sa imo, indi kami pagpatya tungod sa amon pagahimuon kay Jonas. Indi kami pagsukta sa amon pagpatay sa iya nga wala pa man namon masiguro nga nakasala siya matuod. Pero nahibaluan namon nga ining nagakalatabo suno sa imo pagbuot.” 15 Gani ginhakwat nila si Jonas kag ginhulog sa dagat, kag nagkalma ang mabaskog nga balod. 16 Tungod sini nga hitabo, dako gid ang pagtahod sang mga tawo sa Ginoo. Gani naghalad sila sa iya kag nagpromisa nga magapadayon sila sa pagsimba kag paghalad sa iya.
17 Nagpadala ang Ginoo sang dako nga isda sa pagtulon kay Jonas. Gani gintulon siya sang isda, kag didto siya sa tiyan sini sa sulod sang tatlo ka adlaw kag tatlo ka gab-i.
Jonah 1
New International Version
Jonah Flees From the Lord
1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah(A) son of Amittai:(B) 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh(C) and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
3 But Jonah ran(D) away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish(E). He went down to Joppa,(F) where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.(G)
4 Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.(H) 5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship.(I)
But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call(J) on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.”(K)
7 Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.”(L) They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.(M) 8 So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?”
9 He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord,(N) the God of heaven,(O) who made the sea(P) and the dry land.(Q)”
10 This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.)
11 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”
12 “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”(R)
13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before.(S) 14 Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man,(T) for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.”(U) 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.(V) 16 At this the men greatly feared(W) the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows(X) to him.
Jonah’s Prayer
17 Now the Lord provided(Y) a huge fish to swallow Jonah,(Z) and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 1
King James Version
1 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
4 But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.
15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows.
17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 1
English Standard Version
Jonah Flees the Presence of the Lord
1 Now the word of the Lord came to (A)Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to (B)Nineveh, that (C)great city, and call out against it, (D)for their evil[a] has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah (E)rose to flee to (F)Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to (G)Joppa and found a ship going to (H)Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to (I)Tarshish, (J)away from the presence of the Lord.
4 But (K)the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship threatened (L)to break up. 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and (M)each cried out to his god. And (N)they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and had lain down and was fast asleep. 6 So the captain came and said to him, “What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, (O)call out to your god! (P)Perhaps the god will give a thought to us, that we may not perish.”
Jonah Is Thrown into the Sea
7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us (Q)cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, “Tell us on whose account this evil has come upon us. What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?” 9 And he said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear (R)the Lord, the God of heaven, (S)who made the sea and the dry land.” 10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid and said to him, “What is this that you have done!” For the men knew that (T)he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?” For the sea grew more and more tempestuous. 12 He said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you, (U)for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you.” 13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard[b] to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they called out to the Lord, “O Lord, let us not perish for this man's life, and (V)lay not on us innocent blood, (W)for you, O Lord, have done as it pleased you.” 15 So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, (X)and the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, (Y)and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord (Z)and made vows.
A Great Fish Swallows Jonah
17 [c] And the Lord appointed[d] a great fish to swallow up Jonah. (AA)And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
