1 И бысть слово Господне ко Ионе сыну Амафиину, глаголя:

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

2 востани и иди в Ниневию град великий и проповеждь в нем, яко взыде вопль злобы его ко Мне.

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

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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 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.
