1Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
1Joßcaßin quixye li Kâcuaß re laj Jonás li ralal laj Amitai:
2Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
2—Ayu aran saß li nimla tenamit Nínive. Tâkßuseb ut ye reheb nak yôquin chixqßuebal retal li mâusilal li yôqueb chixbânunquil, chan li Kâcuaß.
3But 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.
3Abanan laj Jonás incßaß qui-abin chiru li Kâcuaß. Quiêlelic ban chiru. Cô saß li tenamit Jope li cuan chire li palau. Aran quixtau jun li nimla jucub ac xic re Tarsis. Quixtoj re nak tâxic chi najt saß li tenamit Tarsis ut qui-oc saß li jucub. Saß xchßôl aßan nak yô chixmukbal rib chiru li Kâcuaß.
4But 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.
4Abanan li Kâcuaß quixtakla jun li câk-sut-ikß saß xbên li palau. Numtajenak cuißchic cau li câk-sut-ikß. Queßxcßoxla nak oc re chi jachecß li jucub.
5Then 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.
5Cßajoß nak queßxucuac eb laj cßamol re li jucub ut chi xjunjûnkaleb queßoc xyâbanquil xcßabaß lix dioseb. Queßrisi li îk ut queßxcut saß li palau re nak tâjebk li râlal li jucub. Abanan laj Jonás toj chi saß li nimla jucub cuan ut aran sa yô chi cuârc.
6So 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.
6Ut li nataklan saß li jucub cô cuan cuiß laj Jonás ut quixye re: —Ut lâat, ¿cßaßut nak yôcat chi cuârc? Cuaclin ut yâba xcßabaß lâ Dios. Mâre chan nak aßan târil xtokßobâl ku ut toxtenkßa re nak incßaß to-osokß, chan.
7And 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.
7Ut queßxye chi ribileb rib laj cßamol re li jucub: —Kabûlihak kix re takil ani cuan xmâc nak yôco chixcßulbal li raylal aßin, chanqueb. Ut queßxbûli rixeb ut li mâc quitßaneß saß xbên laj Jonás.
8Then 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?
8Ut queßxye re: —Ye ke anakcuan cßaßut nak yôco chixcßulbal li raylal aßin. ¿Cßaßru lâ cßanjel? ¿Bar âtenamit? Ye ke anihat ut bar xatchal, chanqueb.
9And 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.
9Quichakßoc ut quixye reheb: —Lâin jun aj hebreo ut ninxucua ru li Kâcuaß Dios li cuan saß choxa, li quiyîban re li palau ut li ruchichßochß, chan.
10Then 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.
10Ut laj Jonás quixye reheb nak yô chi êlelic chiru li Kâcuaß. Ut cßajoß nak queßxucuac li cuînk ut queßxye re: —¿Cßaßut nak xabânu chi joßcan? chanqueb.
11Then 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.
11Ut nak kßaxal cuißchic yô chi cacuûc lix cau ok li haß, queßxye re: —¿Cßaßru takabânu âcuiqßuin re nak tâchßanâk ru li palau? chanqueb.
12And 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.
12Laj Jonás quixye reheb: —Cutumakin saß li palau ut li palau tâchßanâk ru. Ninnau nak inmâc lâin nak yôquex chixcßulbal li raylal aßin. Inmâc lâin nak xchal li câk-sut-ikß aßin, chan.
13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
13Abanan eb li cuînk li yôqueb chi cßamoc re li jucub incßaß queßxbânu li quixye laj Jonás. Queßxyal ban xkße xcßambal li jucub chire li palau chi chßochßel. Abanan incßaß queßru xban nak kßaxal cuißchic cau li câk-sut-ikß ut yô chixcutbal rib lix cau ok li haß saß xbêneb.
14Wherefore 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.
14Tojoßnak queßtijoc ut queßxtzßâma xtenkßanquil chiru li Kâcuaß Dios ut queßxye: —At nimajcual Dios, moâqßue taxak chi câmc xmâc a cuînk aßin. Ut mâqßue taxak saß kabên lix camic xban nak lâat, at Dios, xabânu li cßaßru xacuaj, chanqueb.
15So they look up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
15Nak queßrakeß chi tijoc, queßxchap laj Jonás ut queßxcut saß li palau ut chßanamil ru li palau quicana.
16Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
16Nak queßril li cßaßru quixbânu li Dios, queßxxucua ru ut queßmayejac chiru ut queßxyechißi ajcuiß re nak teßcßanjelak chiru.Ut li Dios quixcauresi jun li nimla car re tânukßuk re laj Jonás. Ut laj Jonás quinukßeß chi jun xban li car chi incßaß quicßuxeß. Ut quicuan oxib cutan ut oxib kßojyîn saß xsaß li nimla car aßan.
17Now 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.
17Ut li Dios quixcauresi jun li nimla car re tânukßuk re laj Jonás. Ut laj Jonás quinukßeß chi jun xban li car chi incßaß quicßuxeß. Ut quicuan oxib cutan ut oxib kßojyîn saß xsaß li nimla car aßan.
