Jonas 1

1 Og Herrens Ord kom til Jonas, Amithajs Søn, saa lydende:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.

2 Gør dig rede, gak til Ninive, den store Stad, og raab over den; thi deres Ondskab er stegen op for mit Ansigt.

Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.

3 Men Jonas gjorde sig rede for at fly til Tharsis fra Herrens Ansigt; og han drog ned til Jafo og fandt et Skib, som vilde fare til Tharsis, og han gav Fragt derfor og gik om Bord for at fare med dem til Tharsis fra Herrens Ansigt.

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 Men Herren kastede et stort Vejr paa Havet, og der blev en stor Storm paa Havet, og Skibet lod til at skulle sønderbrydes.

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 Og Skibsfolkene frygtede, og de raabte hver til sin Gud, og de kastede Redskaberne, som vare udi Skibet, i Havet for at skaffe sig Lettelse; men Jonas var stegen ned i det nederste Skibsrum og laa og sov hart.

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 Men Styrmanden gik til ham og sagde til ham: Hvorledes kan du sove saa hart? staa op, kald paa din Gud, maaske den Gud vil tænke mildelig paa os, at vi ikke forgaa.

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 Og de sagde, den ene til den anden: Kommer, og lader os kaste Lod, at vi kunne faa at vide, for hvis Skyld denne Ulykke hændes os; og de kastede Lod, og Lodden faldt paa Jonas.

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 Da sagde de til ham: Kundgør os dog, for hvis Skyld denne Ulykke hændes os! hvad er din Bestilling? og hvorfra kommer du? hvilket er dit Land? og af hvad Folk er du?

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 Og han sagde til dem: Jeg er en Hebræer, og jeg frygter Herren, Himmelens Gud, som har skabt Havet og det tørre Land.

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 Da grebes Mændene af en stor Frygt, og de sagde til ham: Hvad har du dog gjort? thi Mændene havde faaet at vide, at han flyede fra Herrens Ansigt, thi han havde kundgjort dem det.

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 Og de sagde til ham: Hvad skulle vi gøre dig, at Havet kan stilles for os? thi Havet vedblev at storme mere og mere.

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 Og han sagde til dem: Tager mig, og kaster mig i Havet, saa stilles Havet for eder; thi jeg ved, at denne store Storm er over eder for min Skyld.

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 Og Mændene roede for at naa tilbage til Land, men de kunde ikke; thi Havet vedblev at storme imod dem mere og mere.

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 Da raabte de til Herren og sagde: Ak, Herre! lad os dog ikke omkomme for denne Mands Sjæls Skyld, og læg ikke uskyldigt Blod paa os; thi du, Herre! har gjort, som det behagede dig.

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 Og de toge Jonas og kastede ham i Havet; da blev Havet stille efter sin heftige Brusen.

And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.

16 Og Mændene frygtede Herren med en stor Frygt, og de ofrede Herren Slagtoffer og gjorde Løfter.

And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.

17 Og Herren beskikkede en stor Fisk til at opsluge Jonas, og Jonas var i Fiskens Bug tre Dage og tre Nætter.

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.
