Jonah 1
1 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
E veiu a palavra do Senhor a Jonas, filho de Amittai, dizendo:
2 “Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city, and speak out against it, because their wickedness has risen up before me.”
Levanta-te, vae á grande cidade de Ninive, e apregoa contra ella, porque a sua malicia subiu até mim.
3 But Jonah got up to run away from the presence of Yahweh and go to Tarshish. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and boarded the ship to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of 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 d'elle, para ir com elles para Tarsis, de diante da face do Senhor.
4 But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea and it became a mighty storm on the sea. Soon it appeared that the ship was going to be broken up.
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 Then the sailors became very afraid and each man cried out to his own god. They threw the ship's cargo into the sea to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was lying there deeply asleep.
Então temeram os marinheiros, e clamavam cada um ao seu deus, e lançavam no mar as fazendas, que estavam no navio, para o alliviarem do seu pezo; porém Jonas desceu aos lados do porão, e se deitou, e dormia um profundo somno.
6 So the captain came to him and said to him, “What are you doing sleeping? Get up! Call upon your god! Maybe your god will notice us and we will not perish.”
E o mestre do navio chegou-se a elle, e disse-lhe: Que tens, adormentado? levanta-te, clama ao teu Deus; porventura Deus se lembrará de nós para que não pereçamos.
7 They all said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots, so that we may know who is the cause of this evil that is happening to us.” So they threw lots, and the lot fell to 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 Then they said to Jonah, “Please tell us who is the cause of this evil that is happening to us. What is your occupation, and where did you come from? What is your country, and from which people are you?”
Então lhe disseram: Declara-nos tu agora, por cuja causa nos tem vindo este mal. Que occupação é a tua? e d'onde vens? qual é a tua terra? e de que povo és tu?
9 Jonah said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.”
E elle lhes disse: Eu sou hebreo, e temo ao Senhor, o Deus do céu, que fez o mar e a terra secca.
10 Then the men were even more afraid and said to Jonah, “What is this that you have done?” For the men knew that he was running away from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told 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 elle lh'o tinha declarado.
11 Then they said to Jonah, “What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?” For the sea became more and more violent.
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 Jonah said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you, for I know that it is because of me that this great storm is happening to you.”
E elle lhes disse: Levantae-me, e lançae-me no mar, e o mar se vos aquietará; porque eu sei que por minha causa é que vos sobreveiu esta grande tempestade.
13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get them back to the land, but they could not do it because the sea was becoming more and more violent against 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 elles.
14 Therefore they cried out to Yahweh and said, “We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, do not let us perish on account of this man's life, and do not lay upon us the guilt of his death, because you, Yahweh, have done just as it pleased you.”
Então clamaram ao Senhor, e disseram: Ah Senhor! não pereçamos por causa da alma d'este homem, e não ponhas sobre nós o sangue innocente; porque tu, Senhor, fizeste como quizeste.
15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped raging.
E levantaram a Jonas, e o lançaram no mar, e cessou o mar da sua furia.
16 Then the men feared Yahweh very much. They offered sacrifices to Yahweh and made vows.
Temeram pois estes homens ao Senhor com grande temor; e sacrificaram sacrificios ao Senhor, e votaram votos.
17 Now Yahweh had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.
Preparou pois o Senhor um grande peixe, que tragasse a Jonas; e esteve Jonas tres dias e tres noites nas entranhas do peixe.
