- Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
- "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me."
- But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
- But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
- Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.
- So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won't perish."
- They all said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
- Then they asked him, "Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?"
- He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land."
- Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "What is this that you have done?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.
- Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more stormy.
- He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you."
- Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them.
- Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, "We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, don't let us die for this man's life, and don't lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you."
- So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
- Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh, and made vows.
- Yahweh prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

- ויהי דבר־יהוה אל־יונה בן־אמתי לאמר׃
- קום לך אל־נינוה העיר הגדולה וקרא עליה כי־עלתה רעתם לפני׃
- ויקם יונה לברח תרשישה מלפני יהוה וירד יפו וימצא אניה באה תרשיש ויתן שכרה וירד בה לבוא עמהם תרשישה מלפני יהוה׃
- ויהוה הטיל רוח־גדולה אל־הים ויהי סער־גדול בים והאניה חשבה להשבר׃
- וייראו המלחים ויזעקו איש אל־אלהיו ויטלו את־הכלים אשר באניה אל־הים להקל מעליהם ויונה ירד אל־ירכתי הספינה וישכב וירדם׃
- ויקרב אליו רב החבל ויאמר לו מה־לך נרדם קום קרא אל־אלהיך אולי יתעשת האלהים לנו ולא נאבד׃
- ויאמרו איש אל־רעהו לכו ונפילה גורלות ונדעה בשלמי הרעה הזאת לנו ויפלו גורלות ויפל הגורל על־יונה׃
- ויאמרו אליו הגידה־נא לנו באשר למי־הרעה הזאת לנו מה־מלאכתך ומאין תבוא מה ארצך ואי־מזה עם אתה׃
- ויאמר אליהם עברי אנכי ואת־יהוה אלהי השמים אני ירא אשר־עשה את־הים ואת־היבשה׃
- וייראו האנשים יראה גדולה ויאמרו אליו מה־זאת עשית כי־ידעו האנשים כי־מלפני יהוה הוא ברח כי הגיד להם׃
- ויאמרו אליו מה־נעשה לך וישתק הים מעלינו כי הים הולך וסער׃
- ויאמר אליהם שאוני והטילני אל־הים וישתק הים מעליכם כי יודע אני כי בשלי הסער הגדול הזה עליכם׃
- ויחתרו האנשים להשיב אל־היבשה ולא יכלו כי הים הולך וסער עליהם׃
- ויקראו אל־יהוה ויאמרו אנה יהוה אל־נא נאבדה בנפש האיש הזה ואל־תתן עלינו דם נקיא כי־אתה יהוה כאשר חפצת עשית׃
- וישאו את־יונה ויטלהו אל־הים ויעמד הים מזעפו׃
- וייראו האנשים יראה גדולה את־יהוה ויזבחו־זבח ליהוה וידרו נדרים׃
- וימן יהוה דג גדול לבלע את־יונה ויהי יונה במעי הדג שלשה ימים ושלשה לילות׃

- Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jonam, filium Amathi, dicens :
- Surge, et vade in Niniven, civitatem grandem, et prædica in ea, quia ascendit malitia ejus coram me.
- Et surrexit Jonas, ut fugeret in Tharsis a facie Domini, et descendit in Joppen : et invenit navem euntem in Tharsis, et dedit naulum ejus, et descendit in eam ut iret cum eis in Tharsis a facie Domini.
- Dominus autem misit ventum magnum in mare : et facta est tempestas magna in mari, et navis periclitabatur conteri.
- Et timuerunt nautæ, et clamaverunt viri ad deum suum, et miserunt vasa quæ erant in navi, in mare, ut alleviaretur ab eis ; et Jonas descendit ad interiora navis, et dormiebat sopore gravi.
- 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.
- Et dixit vir ad collegam suum : Venite et mittamus sortes, et sciamus quare hoc malum sit nobis. Et miserunt sortes, et cecidit sors super Jonam.
- Et dixerunt ad eum : Indica nobis cujus causa malum istud sit nobis : quod est opus tuum ? quæ terra tua, et quo vadis ? vel ex quo populo es tu ?
- Et dixit ad eos : Hebræus ego sum, et Dominum Deum cæli ego timeo, qui fecit mare et aridam.
- Et timuerunt viri timore magno, et dixerunt ad eum : Quid hoc fecisti ? cognoverunt enim viri quod a facie Domini fugeret, quia indicaverat eis.
- Et dixerunt ad eum : Quid faciemus tibi, et cessabit mare a nobis ? quia mare ibat, et intumescebat.
- Et dixit ad eos : Tollite me, et mittite in mare, et cessabit mare a vobis : scio enim ego quoniam propter me tempestas hæc grandis venit super vos.
- Et remigabant viri ut reverterentur ad aridam, et non valebant, quia mare ibat, et intumescebat super eos.
- Et clamaverunt ad Dominum, et dixerunt : Quæsumus, Domine, ne pereamus in anima viri istius, et ne des super nos sanguinem innocentem : quia tu, Domine, sicut voluisti, fecisti.
- Et tulerunt Jonam, et miserunt in mare : et stetit mare a fervore suo.
- Et timuerunt viri timore magno Dominum : et immolaverunt hostias Domino, et voverunt vota.
- Et præparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut deglutiret Jonam : et erat Jonas in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus.

- Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
- Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
- But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
- But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
- Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
- So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
- And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
- Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
- And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
- Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
- Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
- And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
- Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
- Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
- So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
- Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
- Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
