1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a Jonás, hijo de Amitay:

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

2 Levántate y vé a Nínive, la gran ciudad, y proclama contra ella, porque su perversidad subió delante de Mí.

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

3 Jonás se levantó para huir de la Presencia de Yavé a Tarsis. Después de bajar a Jope, halló una nave que partía a Tarsis. Pagó el precio y se embarcó para navegar con ellos a Tarsis, lejos de la Presencia de Yavé.

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 Pero Yavé levantó un viento impetuoso en el mar, y hubo una tempestad tan grande que el barco estaba a punto de romperse.

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 Los marineros tuvieron miedo y cada uno clamaba a su ʼelohim. Echaron la carga al mar para aligerar la nave. Pero Jonás bajó al fondo del barco, se acostó y dormía profundamente.

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 Y el capitán del barco se acercó a él y le dijo: ¿Por qué duermes? ¡Levántate y clama a tu ʼElohim! Tal vez ʼElohim tenga compasión de nosotros, y no perezcamos.

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 Luego cada uno dijo a su compañero: ¡Vengan, echemos suertes para saber por culpa de quién nos vino este mal! Echaron suertes, y la suerte cayó sobre Jonás.

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 Entonces le dijeron: ¡Decláranos por qué nos vino esta calamidad! ¿Qué oficio tienes y de dónde vienes? ¿Cuál es tu país? ¿De cuál pueblo eres?

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 Él respondió: Soy hebreo y temo a Yavé, el ʼElohim del cielo, Quien hizo el mar y la tierra seca.

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 Entonces aquellos hombres tuvieron gran temor y le preguntaron: ¿Por qué hiciste esto? Porque los hombres entendieron que huía de la Presencia de Yavé, pues él se lo declaró.

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.

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 Y él respondió: Levántenme y láncenme al mar, y se les calmará, pues yo sé que por mi causa les vino esta gran tempestad.

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 Sin embargo, los hombres remaron duro para regresar a tierra, pero no pudieron porque el mar se volvía más tormentoso contra ellos.

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 Entonces clamaron a Yavé: ¡Oh Yavé, te rogamos que nosotros no perezcamos por la vida de este hombre, ni nos culpes de sangre inocente! ¡Porque tú, oh Yavé, hiciste lo que te agradó!

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.
