Jonah 1
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.
La palabra de Yahvé llegó a Jonás, hijo de Amittai, diciendo:
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.
“Levántate, ve a Nínive, esa gran ciudad, y predica contra ella, porque su maldad ha subido ante mí.”
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 a Tarsis de la presencia de Yahvé. Bajó a Jope y encontró un barco que iba a Tarsis; pagó el pasaje y bajó en él para ir con ellos a Tarsis 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 envió un gran viento sobre el mar, y se desató una poderosa tormenta sobre el mar, de modo que la nave corría el riesgo de romperse.
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.
Entonces los marineros tuvieron miedo y cada uno clamó a su dios. Arrojaron al mar la carga que había en la nave para aligerarla. Pero Jonás había bajado al interior de la nave y se había acostado, y estaba profundamente dormido.
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.
El patrón de la nave se acercó a él y le dijo: “¿Qué quieres decir, dormilón? ¡Levántate, invoca a tu Dios! Tal vez tu Dios se fije 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.
Todos se dijeron: “¡Vengan! Echemos suertes, para saber quién es el responsable de este mal que nos aqueja”. Así que 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.
Entonces le preguntaron: “Dinos, por favor, por causa de quién es este mal que nos aqueja. ¿Cuál es tu ocupación? ¿De dónde vienes? ¿Cuál es tu país? ¿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 dijo: “Soy hebreo y temo a Yahvé, el Dios del cielo, que ha hecho el mar y la tierra 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.
Entonces los hombres tuvieron mucho miedo y le dijeron: “¿Qué has hecho?”. Porque los hombres sabían que él huía de la presencia de Yahvé, porque se lo había dicho.
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.
Entonces le dijeron: “¿Qué te haremos para que el mar se calme para nosotros?” Pues el mar se ponía cada vez más tempestuoso.
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.
Les dijo: “Levántenme y arrójenme al mar. Entonces el mar se calmará para vosotros; porque sé que por mi culpa os ha caído esta gran tormenta”.
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.
Sin embargo, los hombres remaron con ahínco para devolverlos a tierra, pero no pudieron, porque el mar se puso cada vez más tempestuoso 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 clamaron a Yahvé y dijeron: “Te rogamos, Yahvé, te rogamos que no nos dejes morir por la vida de este hombre, y que no hagas recaer sobre nosotros la sangre inocente; porque tú, Yahvé, has hecho lo que te ha parecido.”
15 And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.
Entonces tomaron a Jonás y lo arrojaron al mar; y el mar cesó su furia.
16 And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.
Entonces los hombres temieron mucho a Yahvé, ofrecieron un sacrificio 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.
Yahvé preparó un enorme pez para que se tragara a Jonás, y éste estuvo en el vientre del pez tres días y tres noches.
