Jonas Propheta 1
1 et factum est verbum Domini ad Ionam filium Amathi dicens
And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
2 surge vade in Nineven civitatem grandem et praedica in ea quia ascendit malitia eius coram me
“Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness has come up before Me.”
3 et surrexit Iona ut fugeret in Tharsis a facie Domini et descendit Ioppen et invenit navem euntem in Tharsis et dedit naulum eius et descendit in eam ut iret cum eis in Tharsis a facie Domini
And Jonah rises to flee to Tarshish from the face of YHWH, and goes down [to] Joppa, and finds a ship going [to] Tarshish, and he gives its fare, and goes down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of YHWH.
4 Dominus autem misit ventum magnum in mari et facta est tempestas magna in mari et navis periclitabatur conteri
And YHWH has cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great storm in the sea, and the ship has reckoned to be broken;
5 et timuerunt nautae et clamaverunt viri ad deum suum et miserunt vasa quae erant in navi in mare ut adleviaretur ab eis et Iona descendit ad interiora navis et dormiebat sopore gravi
and the mariners are afraid, and they each cry to his god, and cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make [it] light of them; and Jonah has gone down to the sides of the vessel, and he lies down, and is fast asleep.
6 et accessit ad eum gubernator et dixit ei quid tu sopore deprimeris surge invoca Deum tuum si forte recogitet Deus de nobis et non pereamus
And the chief of the company draws near to him and says to him, “What are you [doing], O sleeper? Rise, call to your God, it may be God considers Himself of us, and we do not perish.”
7 et dixit vir ad collegam suum venite et mittamus sortes et sciamus quare hoc malum sit nobis et miserunt sortes et cecidit sors super Ionam
And they each say to his neighbor, “Come, and we cast lots, and we know on whose account this evil [is] on us.” And they cast lots, and the lot falls on Jonah.
8 et dixerunt ad eum indica nobis cuius causa malum istud sit nobis quod est opus tuum quae terra tua et quo vel ex quo populo es tu
And they say to him, “Now declare to us, on whose account [is] this evil on us? What [is] your occupation, and where do you come from? What [is] your country, seeing you are not of this people?”
9 et dixit ad eos Hebraeus ego sum et Dominum Deum caeli ego timeo qui fecit mare et aridam
And he says to them, “I—a Hebrew, and I fear YHWH, God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”
10 et timuerunt viri timore magno et dixerunt ad eum quid hoc fecisti cognoverunt enim viri quod a facie Domini fugeret quia indicaverat eis
And the men fear a great fear, and say to him, “What [is] this you have done!” For the men have known that he is fleeing from the face of YHWH, for he has told them.
11 et dixerunt ad eum quid faciemus tibi et cessabit mare a nobis quia mare ibat et intumescebat
And they say to him, “What do we do to you that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more turbulent?”
12 et dixit ad eos tollite me et mittite in mare et cessabit mare a vobis scio enim ego quoniam propter me tempestas grandis haec super vos
And he says to them, “Lift me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea ceases from you; for I know that on my account this great storm [is] on you.”
13 et remigabant viri ut reverterentur ad aridam et non valebant quia mare ibat et intumescebat super eos
And the men row to turn back to the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more turbulent against them.
14 et clamaverunt ad Dominum et dixerunt quaesumus Domine ne pereamus in anima viri istius et ne des super nos sanguinem innocentem quia tu Domine sicut voluisti fecisti
And they cry to YHWH, and say, “Ah, now, O YHWH, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not lay innocent blood on us! For You, YHWH, as You have pleased, You have done.”
15 et tulerunt Ionam et miserunt in mare et stetit mare a fervore suo
And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceases from its raging;
16 et timuerunt viri timore magno Dominum et immolaverunt hostias Domino et voverunt vota
and the men fear YHWH [with] a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to YHWH, and vow vows.
17 et praeparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut degluttiret Ionam et erat Iona in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus
And YHWH appoints a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.
