Jonah 1
1 The word of the Lord also came unto Jonah the son of 'Amitthai, saying,
ヱホバの言アミタイの子ヨナに臨めりいはく
2 Arise, Go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against her; for their wickedness is come up before me.
起てかの大なる邑ニネベに往きこれを呼はり責めよ そは其惡わが前に上り來ればなりと
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.
然るにヨナはヱホバの面をさけてタルシシへ逃れんと起てヨツパに下り行けるが機しもタルシシへ往く舟に遇ければその價値を給へヱホバの面をさけて偕にタルシシへ行んとてその舟に乗れり
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.
時にヱホバ大風を海の上に起したまひて烈しき颺風海にありければ舟は幾んど破れんとせり
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.
かかりしかば船夫恐れて各おのれの神を呼び又舟を輕くせんとてその中なる載荷を海に投すてたり 然るにヨナは舟の奧に下りゐて臥て酣睡せり
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.
船長來りて彼に云けるは汝なんぞかく酣睡するや起て汝の神を呼べあるひは彼われらを眷顧て淪亡ざらしめんと
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.
かくて人衆互に云けるは此災の我儕にのぞめるは誰の故なるかを知んがため去來鬮を掣んと やがて鬮をひきしに鬮ヨナに當りければ
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?
みな彼に云けるはこの災禍なにゆゑに我らにのぞめるか請ふ告げよ 汝の業は何なるや 何處より來れるや 汝の國は何處ぞや 何處の民なるや
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.
ヨナ彼等にいひけるは我はヘブル人にして海と陸とを造りたまひし天の神ヱホバを畏るる者なり
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.
是に於て船夫甚だしく懼れて彼に云けるは汝なんぞ其事をなせしやと その人々は彼がヱホバの面をさけて逃れしなるを知れり 其はさきにヨナ彼等に告たればなり
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.
遂に船夫彼にいひけるは我儕のために海を靜かにせんには汝に如何がなすべきや 其は海いよいよ甚だしく狂蕩たればなり
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.
ヨナ彼等に曰けるはわれを取りて海に投いれよ さらば海は汝等の爲に靜かにならん そはこの大なる颺風の汝等にのぞめるはわが故なるを知ればなり
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.
されど船夫は陸に漕もどさんとつとめたりしが終にあたはざりき 其は海かれらにむかひていよいよ烈しく蕩たればなり
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.
ここにおいて彼等ヱホバに呼はりて曰けるはヱホバよこひねがはくは此人の命の爲に我儕を滅亡したまふ勿れ 又罪なきの血をわれらに歸し給ふなかれ そはヱホバよ汝聖意にかなふところを爲し給へるなればなりと
15 And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.
すなわちヨナを取りて海に投入たり しかして海のあるることやみぬ
16 And the men feared the Lord very greatly; and they offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows.
かかりしかばその人々おほいにヱホバを畏れヱホバに犧牲を獻げ誓願を立たり
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.
さてヱホバすでに大なる魚を備へおきてヨナを呑しめたまへり ヨナは三日三夜魚の腹の中にありき
