Kniha proroka Jonáša

1 (KJV) Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
1 (ROH) A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Jonášovi, synovi Amittaiho, povediac:

2 (KJV) Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
2 (ROH) Vstaň, idi do Ninive, toho veľkého mesta, a volaj proti nemu, lebo ich zloba vystúpila hore pred moju tvár.

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

5 (KJV) 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.
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 (KJV) 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.
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 (KJV) 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.
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 (KJV) 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?
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 (KJV) 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.
9 (ROH) A riekol im: Ja som Hebrej a bojím sa Hospodina, Boha nebies, ktorý učinil more i suchú zem.

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

12 (KJV) 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.
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 (KJV) Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous 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 (KJV) 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.
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 (KJV) So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
15 (ROH) Potom vzali Jonáša a hodili ho do mora, a more prestalo zúriť.

16 (KJV) Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
16 (ROH) A mužovia sa báli Hospodina veľkou bázňou a obetovali Hospodinovi bitnú obeť a sľubovali sľuby.

17 (KJV) 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.
