约拿书 1
1 耶和华的话临到亚米太的儿子约拿，说：
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.
2 “你起来往尼尼微大城去，向其中的居民呼喊，因为他们的恶达到我面前。”
Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.
3 约拿却起来，逃往他施去躲避耶和华；下到约帕，遇见一只船，要往他施去。他就给了船价，上了船，要与船上的人同往他施去躲避耶和华。
And he arose Jonah to flee Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh and he went down Joppa and he found a ship - [which was] about to go Tarshish and he gave fare its and he went down in it to go with them Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh.
4 然而耶和华使海中起大风，海就狂风大作，甚至船几乎破坏。
And Yahweh he threw a wind great to the sea and it was a storm great on the sea and the ship it thought to be broken.
5 水手便惧怕，各人哀求自己的神。他们将船上的货物抛在海中，为要使船轻些。约拿已下到底舱，躺卧沉睡。
And they were afraid the sailors and they cried for help everyone to gods his and they threw the vessels which [were] in the ship into the sea to lighten from on them and Jonah he had gone down into [the] innermost parts of the ship and he had lain down and he had fallen fast asleep.
6 船主到他那里对他说：“你这沉睡的人哪，为何这样呢？起来，求告你的神，或者神顾念我们，使我们不致灭亡。”
And he drew near to him [the] chief of the sailor[s] and he said to him what? [is] to you sleeping arise call to god your perhaps he will give thought the god to us and not we will perish.
7 船上的人彼此说：“来吧，我们掣签，看看这灾临到我们是因谁的缘故。”于是他们掣签，掣出约拿来。
And they said each to neighbor his come so let us cast lots so we may know by which of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us and they cast lots and it fell the lot on Jonah.
8 众人对他说：“请你告诉我们，这灾临到我们是因谁的缘故？你以何事为业？你从哪里来？你是哪一国？属哪一族的人？”
And they said to him tell! please to us because of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us what? [is] occupation your and from where? do you come what? [is] land your and where? from this people [are] you.
9 他说：“我是希伯来人。我敬畏耶和华—那创造沧海旱地之天上的 神。”
And he said to them [am] a Hebrew I and Yahweh [the] God of the heavens I [am] fearing who he made the sea and the dry land.
10 他们就大大惧怕，对他说：“你做的是什么事呢？”他们已经知道他躲避耶和华，因为他告诉了他们。
And they feared the men a fear great and they said to him what? this have you done for they knew the men that from to before Yahweh he [was] fleeing for he had told to them.
11 他们问他说：“我们当向你怎样行，使海浪平静呢？”这话是因海浪越发翻腾。
And they said to him what? will we do to you so it may be calm the sea from on us for the sea [was] going and storming.
12 他对他们说：“你们将我抬起来，抛在海中，海就平静了；我知道你们遭这大风是因我的缘故。”
And he said to them pick up me and throw me into the sea so it may be calm the sea from on you for [am] knowing I that by which to me the storm great this [is] on you.
13 然而那些人竭力荡桨，要把船拢岸，却是不能，因为海浪越发向他们翻腾。
And they rowed the men to return to the dry land and not they were able for the sea [was] going and storming on them.
14 他们便求告耶和华说：“耶和华啊，我们恳求你，不要因这人的性命使我们死亡，不要使流无辜血的罪归与我们；因为你—耶和华是随自己的意旨行事。”
And they called out to Yahweh and they said we beg you O Yahweh do not please let us perish by [the] life of the man this and may not you put on us blood innocent for you O Yahweh just as you pleased you have done.
15 他们遂将约拿抬起，抛在海中，海的狂浪就平息了。
And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.
16 那些人便大大敬畏耶和华，向耶和华献祭，并且许愿。
And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.
17 耶和华安排一条大鱼吞了约拿，他在鱼腹中三日三夜。
And he appointed Yahweh a fish great to swallow Jonah and he was Jonah in [the] inward parts of the fish three days and three nights.
