Jonah 1
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.
Et la parole du Seigneur vint à Jonas, fils d'Amathi, disant
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.
Lève-toi, et pars pour Ninive, la grande ville, et proclame dans ses murs que le cri de sa méchanceté est monté jusqu'à Moi.
3 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.
Et Jonas se leva pour s'enfuir à Tharsis, loin de la face du Seigneur; et il descendit à Joppé; il y trouva une barque allant à Tharsis, et il paya son passage, et il s'embarqua pour naviguer avec les matelots, jusqu'à Tharsis, loin de la face du Seigneur.
4 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.
Et le Seigneur excita un grand vent sur la mer, et les vagues s'élevèrent, et la barque fut en danger de se rompre.
5 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.
Et les matelots eurent crainte, et ils crièrent chacun vers son dieu, et ils lancèrent à la mer le chargement de la barque, pour s'en alléger. Jonas descendit à fond de cale, et là il s'endormit, et il ronfla.
6 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.
Et le pilote l'alla trouver, et il lui dit: Pourquoi ronfles-tu? Lève- toi, et invoque ton Dieu, afin que Dieu nous sauve, et que nous ne mourions pas.
7 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.
Et chacun des matelots dit à son voisin: Allons, agitons les sorts, et sachons par qui ce malheur nous arrive. Et ils agitèrent des sorts, et le sort tomba sur Jonas.
8 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.
Et ils lui dirent: Déclare-nous quel est ton métier; d'où viens-tu? de quelle contrée, de quel peuple es-tu?
9 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.
Et il leur dit: Je suis un serviteur du Seigneur; j'adore le Seigneur Dieu du ciel, qui a créé la mer et la terre.
10 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.
Et ces hommes eurent grande crainte, et ils lui dirent: Pourquoi as-tu fait cela? Car ces hommes connurent qu'il fuyait loin de la face du Seigneur; car il le leur avait déclaré.
11 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.
Et ils lui dirent: Que te ferons-nous, afin que pour nous la mer se calme? Car la mer allait, et soulevait encore plus de vagues.
12 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.
Et Jonas leur dit: Prenez-moi et jetez-moi à la mer, et la mer se calmera pour vous; car je sais que c'est à cause de moi qu'il y a contre vous ces grandes vagues.
13 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.
Et ces hommes s'efforcèrent de retourner à la côte; mais ils ne le purent, parce que la mer allait et soulevait contre eux toujours plus de vagues.
14 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.
Et ils crièrent au Seigneur, et ils dirent: Non, Seigneur, que nous ne périssions pas pour la vie de cet homme; ne fais pas retomber sur nous un sang innocent; car, Seigneur, Tu as fait selon Ta volonté.
15 And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.
Et ils prirent Jonas, et ils le lancèrent à la mer; et la mer cessa de s'agiter.
16 And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.
Et ces hommes eurent grande crainte du Seigneur; et ils offrirent au Seigneur un sacrifice, et ils Lui firent des vœux.
17 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.
Et le Seigneur prescrivit à une grande baleine d'avaler Jonas, et Jonas fut dans le ventre de la baleine trois jours et trois nuits.
