Jonas 1

1 Et la parole de l’Éternel [vint] à Jonas, fils d’Amitthaï, disant:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.

2 Lève-toi, va à Ninive, la grande ville, et crie contre elle, car leur méchanceté est montée devant moi.

Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.

3 Et Jonas se leva pour s’enfuir à Tarsis, de devant la face de l’Éternel; et il descendit à Joppé et trouva un navire allant à Tarsis; et ayant donné le prix de sa place, il y descendit pour aller avec eux à Tarsis, de devant la face de l’Éternel.

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.

4 Et l’Éternel envoya un grand vent sur la mer; et il y eut une grande tempête sur la mer, de sorte que le navire semblait vouloir se briser.

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.

5 Et les marins eurent peur et crièrent chacun à son dieu; et ils jetèrent dans la mer les objets qui étaient dans le navire, pour l’en alléger. Et Jonas était descendu au fond du vaisseau et s’était couché, et dormait profondément.

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.

6 Et le maître des rameurs s’approcha de lui, et lui dit: Que fais-tu, dormeur? Lève-toi, crie à ton Dieu! Peut-être Dieu pensera-t-il à nous, et nous ne périrons pas.

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.

7 Et ils se dirent l’un à l’autre: Venez, jetons le sort, afin que nous sachions à cause de qui ce malheur nous arrive. Et ils jetèrent le sort, et le sort tomba sur Jonas.

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.

8 Et ils lui dirent: Déclare-nous à cause de qui ce mal nous est arrivé? Quelle est ton occupation? et d’où viens-tu? Quel est ton pays, et de quel peuple es-tu?

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.

9 Et il leur dit: Je suis Hébreu, et je crains l’Éternel, le Dieu des cieux, qui a fait la mer et la terre.

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.

10 Et les hommes eurent une grande frayeur, et ils lui dirent: Qu’est-ce que tu as fait? Car les hommes savaient qu’il s’enfuyait de devant la face de l’Éternel, car il le leur avait déclaré.

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.

11 Et ils lui dirent: Que te ferons-nous, afin que la mer s’apaise pour nous? car la mer allait grossissant toujours.

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.

12 Et il leur dit: Prenez-moi et jetez-moi à la mer, et la mer s’apaisera pour vous; car je sais que c’est à cause de moi que cette grosse tempête est [venue] sur vous.

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.

13 Mais les hommes ramèrent pour regagner la terre; et ils ne purent pas, car la mer allait toujours grossissant contre eux.

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.

14 Et ils crièrent à l’Éternel, et dirent: Ah, Éternel! que nous ne périssions pas, nous t’en prions, à cause de la vie de cet homme; et ne mets pas sur nous du sang innocent; car toi, Éternel, tu as fait comme il t’a plu.

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.

15 Et ils prirent Jonas et le jetèrent à la mer; et la fureur de la mer s’arrêta.

And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.

16 Et les hommes craignirent beaucoup l’Éternel, et offrirent un sacrifice à l’Éternel, et firent des vœux.

And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.

17 Et l’Éternel prépara un grand poisson pour engloutir Jonas; et Jonas fut dans les entrailles du poisson trois jours et trois nuits.

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.
