Jonah 1
1 The word of the Lord also came unto Jonah the son of 'Amitthai, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко Ионе сыну Амафиину, глаголя:
2 Arise, Go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against her; for their wickedness is come up before me.
востани и иди в Ниневию град великий и проповеждь в нем, яко взыде вопль злобы его ко Мне.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tharshish from the presence of the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tharshish, and paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tharshish, from the presence of the Lord.
И воста Иона, еже бежати в Фарсис от лица Господня и сниде во Июппию и обрете корабль идущь в Фарсис, и даде наем свой и вниде в онь плыти с ними в Фарсис от лица Господня.
4 But the Lord excited a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea; and it was thought that the ship would be broken in pieces.
И Господь воздвиже ветр велий на мори, и бысть буря великая в мори, и корабль бедствоваше еже сокрушитися.
5 And the mariners were afraid, and called every man unto his god; and they cast forth the articles which were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah was gone down into the hold of the ship, and lay down, and was fast asleep.
И убояшася корабельницы, и возопиша кийждо к богу своему, и изметание сотвориша сосудов иже в корабли в море, еже облегчитися от них: Иона же сниде во дно корабля и спаше ту и храпляше.
6 So the ship-master came near unto him, and said unto him, Why dost thou sleep? arise, call upon thy God: perhaps it be that God will think of us, that we may not be lost.
И прииде к нему кормчий и рече ему что ты храплеши? Востани и моли Бога твоего, яко да спасет ны Бог, да не погибнем.
7 And they said one to the other, Come, and let us cast lots; that we may know for whose cause this evil hath happened unto us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
И рече кийждо ко искреннему своему приидите, вержим жребия и уразумеем, кого ради есть зло сие на нас? И метнуша жребия, и паде жребий на Иону.
8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, thou for whose cause this evil hath happened unto us, What is thy business? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
И реша к нему возвести нам, кого ради сие зло на нас, что твое делание есть, и откуду грядеши и камо идеши, и от коея страны и от киих людий еси ты?
9 And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land.
И рече к ним раб Господень есмь аз и Господа Бога небеснаго аз чту, иже сотвори море и сушу.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid and they said unto him, What is this thou hast done? for the men knew that he was flying from the presence of the Lord; because he had told them.
И убояшася мужие страхом великим и реша к нему что сие сотворил еси? Зане разумеша мужие, яко от лица Господня бежаше, яко возвести им.
11 And they said unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may become calm around us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
И реша к нему: что тебе сотворим, и утолится море от нас? Зане море восхождаше и воздвизаше паче волнение.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea: so shall the sea be calm around you; for I know well that because of me is this great tempest upon you.
И рече к ним Иона: возмите мя и вверзите в море, и утолится море от вас понеже познах аз, яко мене ради волнение сие великое на вы есть.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring [the ship] back to the land; but they could not; for the sea grew more and more tempestuous around them.
И нуждахуся мужие, возвратитися к земли, и не можаху, яко море восхождаше и воздвизашеся паче на них.
14 And they called unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, let us not be lost, we pray thee, for the life of this man, and lay not upon us [the guilt of] innocent blood; for thou art the Lord, as it pleaseth thee so dost thou do.
И возопиша ко Господеви и реша: никакоже, Господи, да не погибнем души ради человека сего, и не даждь на нас крове праведныя: зане Ты, Господи, якоже восхотел, сотворил еси.
15 And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.
И взяша Иону и ввергоша его в море, и преста море от волнения своего.
16 And the men feared the Lord very greatly; and they offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows.
И убояшася мужие страхом великим Господа и пожроша жертву Господеви и помолишася молитвами.
17 And the Lord made ready a large fish to swallow up Jonah: and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
И повеле Господь киту великому пожрети Иону. И бе Иона во чреве китове три дни и три нощи.
