Jonah 1
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.
Llegó a Jonás, hijo de Amitai, la palabra de Yahvé en estos términos:
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.
“Levántate y ve a Nínive, la ciudad grande, y predica contra ella, porque su maldad ha subido hasta mi presencia.”
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.
Pero Jonás se levantó para huir de la presencia de Yahvé, tomando el camino de Tarsis. Descendió a Jope, donde encontró una nave que se dirigía a Tarsis; pagó el pasaje, y se embarcó en ella para ir con los demás a Tarsis, lejos de la presencia de Yahvé.
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.
Pero Yahvé hizo soplar sobre el mar un viento recio, y se desencadenó en el mar una gran tempestad, de suerte que la nave estaba en peligro de ser deshecha.
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.
Por lo cual los marineros, llenos de miedo, clamaron cada cual a su dios; y echaron al mar el cargamento de la nave, a fin de aligerarla. Jonás, entretanto, había descendido al fondo de la nave. Allí se había acostado y dormía profundamente.
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.
Se le acercó el capitán de la nave y le dijo: “¿Qué te pasa, dormilón? Levántate e invoca a tu Dios. Quizás Dios piense en nosotros para que no perezcamos.”
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.
Entonces unos a otros se dijeron: “Vamos y echemos suertes, para que sepamos quién tiene la culpa de este mal que (ha venido) sobre nosotros.” Echaron suertes, y la suerte cayó sobre Jonás.
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.
Le dijeron: “Dinos, ¿por quién (ha venido) sobre nosotros este desastre? ¿Cuál es tu profesión? ¿De dónde vienes? ¿Cuál es tu tierra? ¿De qué pueblo eres?”
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.
Les respondió: “Soy hebreo, y temo a Yahvé, el Dios del cielo, el cual hizo el mar y la tierra.”
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.
Entonces aquellos hombres quedaron sumamente atemorizados; y le dijeron: “¿Qué es lo que has hecho?” Pues comprendían los hombres que huía de la presencia de Yahvé, ya que él mismo se lo había 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.
Y le dijeron: “¿Qué haremos contigo, para que se nos calme el mar?” Porque el mar iba embraveciéndose cada vez más.
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.
Él les contestó: “Tomadme y echadme al mar, y el mar se os calmará, pues bien sé que por mi culpa ha venido sobre vosotros esta grande tempestad.”
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.
Entretanto los hombres remaban, para ganar tierra, mas no podían; porque el mar se embravecía cada vez más contra ellos.
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.
Entonces invocaron a Yahvé, diciendo: “¡Oh Yahvé, no nos hagas perecer por la vida de este hombre y no nos imputes sangre inocente! Pues Tú, oh Yahvé, has hecho como te plugo.”
15 And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.
Y tomaron a Jonás y le echaron al mar; y el mar cesó de embravecerse.
16 And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.
Se apoderó de aquellos hombres un gran temor de Yahvé, y ofrecieron sacrificios a Yahvé e hicieron 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.
Entonces Yahvé hizo venir un pez grande para que se tragara a Jonás; y estuvo Jonás en las entrañas del pez tres días y tres noches.
