< Jonah 1 >
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.
E veio a palavra do Senhor a Jonas, filho de Amittai, dizendo:
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.
Levanta-te, vai à grande cidade de Nínive, e apregoa contra ela, porque a sua malícia subiu até mim.
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.
E Jonas se levantou para fugir de diante da face do Senhor para Tarsis, e desceu a Joppe, e achou que um navio ia para Tarsis, e deu a sua passagem, e desceu para dentro dele, para ir com eles para Tarsis, de diante da face do Senhor.
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.
Mas o Senhor lançou ao mar um grande vento, e fez-se no mar uma grande tempestade, e o navio estava para quebrar-se.
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.
Então temeram os marinheiros, e clamavam cada um ao seu deus, e lançavam no mar as fazendas, que estavam no navio, para o aliviarem do seu peso; porém Jonas desceu aos lados do porão, e se deitou, e dormia um profundo sono.
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.
E o mestre do navio chegou-se a ele, e disse-lhe: Que tens, adormentado? levanta-te, clama ao teu Deus; porventura Deus se lembrará de nós para que não pereçamos.
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.
E diziam cada um ao seu companheiro: Vinde, e lancemos sortes, para que saibamos por que causa nos tem vindo este mal. E lançaram sortes, e a sorte caiu sobre 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.
Então lhe disseram: Declara-nos tu agora, por cuja causa nos tem vindo este mal. Que ocupação é a tua? e de onde vens? qual é a tua terra? e de que povo és 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.
E ele lhes disse: Eu sou hebreu, e temo ao Senhor, o Deus do céu, que fez o mar e a terra seca.
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.
Então estes homens tremeram com grande temor, e lhe disseram: Porque fizeste tu isto? Pois sabiam os homens que fugia de diante do Senhor, porque ele lho tinha declarado.
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.
E disseram-lhe: Que te faremos nós, para que o mar se nos aquiete? Porque o mar se elevava e engrossava cada vez mais.
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.
E ele lhes disse: levantai-me, e lançai-me no mar, e o mar se vos aquietará; porque eu sei que por minha causa é que vos sobreveio esta grande tempestade.
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.
Mas os homens remavam, para tornar a trazer o navio para terra, mas não podiam; porquanto o mar se ia embravecendo cada vez mais contra eles.
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.
Então clamaram ao Senhor, e disseram: Ah Senhor! não pereçamos por causa da alma deste homem, e não ponhas sobre nós o sangue inocente; porque tu, Senhor, fizeste como quizeste.
15 And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.
E levantaram a Jonas, e o lançaram no mar, e cessou o mar da sua fúria.
16 And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.
Temeram pois estes homens ao Senhor com grande temor; e sacrificaram sacrifícios ao Senhor, e votaram votos.
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.
Preparou pois o Senhor um grande peixe, que tragasse a Jonas; e esteve Jonas três dias e três noites nas entranhas do peixe.
