Jonah 1
1 And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
ヱホバの言アミタイの子ヨナに臨めりいはく
2 “Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness has 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 And Jonah rises to flee to Tarshish from the face of YHWH, and goes down [to] Joppa, and finds a ship going [to] Tarshish, and he gives its fare, and goes down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of YHWH.
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 And YHWH has cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great storm in the sea, and the ship has reckoned to be broken;
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 are afraid, and they each cry to his god, and cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make [it] light of them; and Jonah has gone down to the sides of the vessel, and he lies down, and is 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 And the chief of the company draws near to him and says to him, “What are you [doing], O sleeper? Rise, call to your God, it may be God considers Himself of us, and we do not perish.”
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 each say to his neighbor, “Come, and we cast lots, and we know on whose account this evil [is] on us.” And they cast lots, and the lot falls on 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 And they say to him, “Now declare to us, on whose account [is] this evil on us? What [is] your occupation, and where do you come from? What [is] your country, seeing you are not of this people?”
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 says to them, “I—a Hebrew, and I fear YHWH, God of the heavens, who 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 And the men fear a great fear, and say to him, “What [is] this you have done!” For the men have known that he is fleeing from the face of YHWH, for he has 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 say to him, “What do we do to you that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more turbulent?”
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 says to them, “Lift me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea ceases from you; for I know that on my account this great storm [is] on 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 And the men row to turn back to the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more turbulent against 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 cry to YHWH, and say, “Ah, now, O YHWH, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not lay innocent blood on us! For You, YHWH, as You have pleased, You have done.”
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 lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceases 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 fear YHWH [with] a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to YHWH, and vow 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 YHWH appoints a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah is in the bowels 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
