Kniha proroka Jonáša

1 (CPDV) And the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying:
1 (KAT) Pán prehovoril k Jonášovi, synovi Amatiho, takto:

2 (CPDV) Rise and go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach in it. For its malice has ascended before my eyes.
2 (KAT) „Vstaň, choď do veľkého mesta Ninive a zvestuj mu, že ich zloba vystúpila predo mňa.“

3 (CPDV) 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.
3 (KAT) Ale Jonáš vstal a chcel utiecť spred Pána do Taršišu; išiel do Joppe, kde našiel loď, ktorá išla do Taršišu, dal jej svoje plavné a nastúpil do nej, aby šiel s nimi do Taršišu spred Pána.

4 (CPDV) 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.
4 (KAT) Ale Pán zoslal na more veľký vietor, takže sa na mori strhla veľká búrka a lodi hrozilo stroskotanie.

5 (CPDV) 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.
5 (KAT) Námorníci sa báli a každý volal k svojmu bohu; náradie, ktoré bolo na lodi, pohádzali do mora, aby ju od neho odbremenili. Jonáš však zišiel do vnútra lode, ľahol si a spal.

6 (CPDV) 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.”
6 (KAT) Tu pristúpil k nemu veliteľ lode a povedal mu: „Čože, ty spíš? Vstaň, volaj k svojmu Bohu, azda si Boh spomenie na nás a nezahynieme.“

7 (CPDV) 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.
7 (KAT) I vraveli si druh druhovi: „Nože, hoďme žreb a dozvieme sa, pre koho nás stihlo toto nešťastie.“ Hodili teda žreb a žreb padol na Jonáša.

8 (CPDV) 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?”
8 (KAT) I spytovali sa ho: „Povedzže nám, prečo nás stihlo toto nešťastie? Čo máš za poslanie a odkiaľ ideš? Ktorá je tvoja vlasť a z ktorého si národa?“

9 (CPDV) And he said to them, “I am Hebrew, and I fear the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
9 (KAT) Odpovedal im: „Hebrej som a som ctiteľ Pána, Boha nebies, ktorý učinil more a suchú zem.“

10 (CPDV) 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.)
10 (KAT) Mužov pojal veľký strach a hovorili mu: „Čo si to urobil?“ Chlapi totiž vedeli, že uteká spred Pána, lebo im to povedal.

11 (CPDV) 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.
11 (KAT) Pýtali sa ho: „Čo máme s tebou urobiť, aby sa more pod nami utíšilo?“ More sa totiž búrilo čoraz väčšmi.

12 (CPDV) 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.”
12 (KAT) Povedal im: „Chyťte ma a hoďte do mora, potom sa more pod vami utíši. Veď ja viem, že vás pre mňa zastihla táto veľká búrka.“

13 (CPDV) 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.
13 (KAT) Ale mužovia veslovali, aby sa priplavili naspäť k suchej zemi, no nemohli, pretože sa more pod nimi čoraz viac búrilo.

14 (CPDV) 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.”
14 (KAT) Preto volali k Pánovi: „Ach, Pane, nech nezahynieme pre život tohto človeka a neuvaľ na nás nevinnú krv! Veď ty si Pán a urobil si, ako sa ti páčilo.“

15 (CPDV) And they took Jonah and cast him into the sea. And the sea was stilled from its fury.
15 (KAT) I chytili Jonáša a hodili ho do mora, načo more prestalo zúriť.

16 (CPDV) And the men feared the Lord greatly, and they sacrificed victims to the Lord, and they made vows.
16 (KAT) Tu pojal mužov veľký strach pred Pánom a obetovali Pánovi obetu a zaviazali sa sľubmi.
