Kniha proroka Jonáša

1 (CPDV) And the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying:
1 (ROH) A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Jonášovi, synovi Amittaiho, povediac:

2 (CPDV) Rise and go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach in it. For its malice has ascended before my eyes.
2 (ROH) Vstaň, idi do Ninive, toho veľkého mesta, a volaj proti nemu, lebo ich zloba vystúpila hore pred moju tvár.

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 (ROH) Ale Jonáš vstal, aby utiekol do Taršíša zpred tvári Hospodinovej a prijdúc dolu do Joppy našiel loď, ktorá išla do Taršíša, dal, čo bola jej mzda, a sišiel do nej, aby sa odplavil s nimi do Taršíša zpred tvári Hospodinovej.

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 (ROH) Ale Hospodin vrhol veľký vietor na more, a povstala veľká búrka na mori, takže sa domnievali, že sa loď rozbije.

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 (ROH) Vtedy sa báli mornári, a kričali každý ku svojmu bohu, a vyhadzovali nádoby, ktoré boly v lodi, do mora, aby si poľahčili. Ale Jonáš bol sišiel dolu na odľahlé miesto lode, ľahol si a zaspal tvrdo.

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 (ROH) A pristúpil k nemu veliteľ lode a povedal mu: Čo sa ti robí, ospalče? Vstaň, volaj ku svojmu Bohu! Snáď si ten Bôh pomyslí 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 (ROH) Potom povedali druh druhovi: Poďte, a hoďme losy, aby sme zvedeli, pre koho prišlo na nás toto zlé. A tak hádzali losy, a los 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 (ROH) Vtedy mu povedali: Nože nám oznám, prosíme, pre koho prišlo na nás toto zlé? Čo je tvoje zamestnanie a odkiaľ ideš? Čo je tvoja zem, a z ktorého národa si ty?

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 (ROH) A riekol im: Ja som Hebrej a bojím sa Hospodina, Boha nebies, ktorý učinil more i 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 (ROH) Vtedy sa náramne báli mužovia a povedali mu: Čo si to urobil?! Pretože sa boli mužovia dozvedeli, že uteká zpred tvári Hospodinovej, lebo im to oznámil.

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 (ROH) A povedali mu: Čo ti máme urobiť, aby sa nám upokojilo more? Lebo more sa búrilo viac a viac.

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 (ROH) A on im riekol: Vezmite ma a hoďte ma do mora, a more sa upokojí pred vami; lebo ja viem; že pre mňa je táto veľká búrka proti vám.

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 (ROH) A mužovia veslovali všetkými silami, aby sa dostali zpät na sušinu, ale nemohli, lebo more sa vše viac a viac búrilo proti nim.

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 (ROH) Preto volali k Hospodinovi a vraveli: Prosíme, Hospodine, prosíme, nedaj, aby sme zahynuli za dušu tohoto človeka, a nedávaj na nás nevinnej krvi, lebo ty, Hospodine, činíš tak, ako sa ti ľúbi.

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

16 (CPDV) And the men feared the Lord greatly, and they sacrificed victims to the Lord, and they made vows.
16 (ROH) A mužovia sa báli Hospodina veľkou bázňou a obetovali Hospodinovi bitnú obeť a sľubovali sľuby.
