1 H addaba waxaa Yoonis ina Amitay u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo sidan ku leh,

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

2 K ac, oo waxaad tagtaa magaaladaas weyn oo Nineweh, oo iyada ku qayli, waayo, sharkoodii wuxuu yimid hortayda.

“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.”

3 L aakiinse 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.

But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. The Storm at Sea

4 L aakiinse 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 out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.

5 M arkaasay 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.

Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.

6 H addaba 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.

So the captain came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish.”

7 O o 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 they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

8 M arkaasay 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?

Then they said to him, “Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?”

9 O o isna wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxaan ahay Cibraani, oo waxaan ka cabsadaa Rabbiga ah Ilaaha samada, oo ah Kan abuuray badda iyo berrigaba.

So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land. ” Jonah Thrown into the Sea

10 M arkaasay 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.

Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “Why have you done this?” For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.

11 M arkaasay ku yidhaahdeen, Si baddu noogu degto aawadeed haddaba bal maxaannu kugu samaynaa? Waayo, badda duufaankeedii aad iyo aad buu u sii weynaaday.

Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?”—for the sea was growing more tempestuous.

12 O o 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, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me.”

13 H abase 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.

Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them.

14 M arkaasay 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.

Therefore they cried out to the Lord and said, “We pray, O Lord, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O Lord, have done as it pleased You.”

15 S idaas daraaddeed Yoonis bay kor u qaadeen oo waxay ku dhex tuureen baddii, kolkaasay baddii joojisay cadhadeedii.

So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.

16 M arkaasay nimankii aad iyo aad Rabbiga uga cabsadeen, oo waxay Rabbiga u bixiyeen allabari, nidarrona way galeen.

Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord and took vows. Jonah’s Prayer and Deliverance

17 O o Rabbigu wuxuu Yoonis u diyaariyey kalluun weyn oo isaga liqa; Yoonisna wuxuu kalluunka calooshiisii ku dhex jiray saddex habeen iyo saddex maalmood.

Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
