Книга пророка Ионы 1
1 И бысть слово Господне ко Ионе сыну Амафиину, глаголя:
And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
2 востани и иди в Ниневию град великий и проповеждь в нем, яко взыде вопль злобы его ко Мне.
“Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness has come up before Me.”
3 И воста Иона, еже бежати в Фарсис от лица Господня и сниде во Июппию и обрете корабль идущь в Фарсис, и даде наем свой и вниде в онь плыти с ними в Фарсис от лица Господня.
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 И Господь воздвиже ветр велий на мори, и бысть буря великая в мори, и корабль бедствоваше еже сокрушитися.
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 И убояшася корабельницы, и возопиша кийждо к богу своему, и изметание сотвориша сосудов иже в корабли в море, еже облегчитися от них: Иона же сниде во дно корабля и спаше ту и храпляше.
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 И прииде к нему кормчий и рече ему что ты храплеши? Востани и моли Бога твоего, яко да спасет ны Бог, да не погибнем.
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 И рече кийждо ко искреннему своему приидите, вержим жребия и уразумеем, кого ради есть зло сие на нас? И метнуша жребия, и паде жребий на Иону.
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 И реша к нему возвести нам, кого ради сие зло на нас, что твое делание есть, и откуду грядеши и камо идеши, и от коея страны и от киих людий еси ты?
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 И рече к ним раб Господень есмь аз и Господа Бога небеснаго аз чту, иже сотвори море и сушу.
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 И убояшася мужие страхом великим и реша к нему что сие сотворил еси? Зане разумеша мужие, яко от лица Господня бежаше, яко возвести им.
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 И реша к нему: что тебе сотворим, и утолится море от нас? Зане море восхождаше и воздвизаше паче волнение.
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 И рече к ним Иона: возмите мя и вверзите в море, и утолится море от вас понеже познах аз, яко мене ради волнение сие великое на вы есть.
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 И нуждахуся мужие, возвратитися к земли, и не можаху, яко море восхождаше и воздвизашеся паче на них.
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 И возопиша ко Господеви и реша: никакоже, Господи, да не погибнем души ради человека сего, и не даждь на нас крове праведныя: зане Ты, Господи, якоже восхотел, сотворил еси.
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 И взяша Иону и ввергоша его в море, и преста море от волнения своего.
And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceases from its raging;
16 И убояшася мужие страхом великим Господа и пожроша жертву Господеви и помолишася молитвами.
and the men fear YHWH [with] a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to YHWH, and vow vows.
17 И повеле Господь киту великому пожрети Иону. И бе Иона во чреве китове три дни и три нощи.
And YHWH appoints a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.
