| [1]Now the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JonahH3124 the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[1]The word of the Lord came also unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, |
| [2]AriseH6965[H8798], goH3212[H8798] to NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and cryH7121[H8798] against it; for their wickednessH7451 is come upH5927[H8804] before meH6440. |
[2]Arise, and go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it: for their wickedness is come up before me. |
| [3]But JonahH3124 rose upH6965[H8799] to fleeH1272[H8800] unto TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and went downH3381[H8799] to JoppaH3305; and he foundH4672[H8799] a shipH591 goingH935[H8802] to TarshishH8659: so he paidH5414[H8799] the fareH7939 thereof, and went downH3381[H8799] into it, to goH935[H8800] with them unto TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068. |
[3]But Jonah rose up to flee into 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, that he might go with them unto Tarshish, from the presence of the Lord. |
| [4]But the LORDH3068 sent outH2904[H8689] a greatH1419 windH7307 into the seaH3220, and there was a mightyH1419 tempestH5591 in the seaH3220, so that the shipH591 was likeH2803[H8765] to be brokenH7665.[H8736] |
[4]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. |
| [5]Then the marinersH4419 were afraidH3372[H8799], and criedH2199[H8799] every manH376 unto his godH430, and cast forthH2904[H8686] the waresH3627 that were in the shipH591 into the seaH3220, to lightenH7043[H8687] it of them. But JonahH3124 was gone downH3381[H8804] into the sidesH3411 of the shipH5600; and he layH7901[H8799], and was fast asleepH7290.[H8735] |
[5]Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his God, and cast 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 down, and was fast asleep. |
| [6]So the shipmasterH7227[H2259] cameH7126[H8799] to him, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeperH7290[H8737]? ariseH6965[H8798], callH7121[H8798] upon thy GodH430, if so be that GodH430 will thinkH6245[H8691] upon us, that we perishH6 notH8799. |
[6]So the ship master 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. |
| [7]And they saidH559[H8799] every oneH376 to his fellowH7453, ComeH3212[H8798], and let us castH5307[H8686] lotsH1486, that we may knowH3045[H8799] for whose causeH7945 this evilH7451 is upon us. So they castH5307[H8686] lotsH1486, and the lotH1486 fellH5307[H8799] upon JonahH3124. |
[7]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. |
| [8]Then saidH559[H8799] they unto him, TellH5046[H8685] us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evilH7451 is upon us; What is thine occupationH4399? and whenceH370 comestH935[H8799] thou? what is thy countryH776? and of what people art thouH5971? |
[8]Then said they unto him, Tell us for whose cause this evil is upon us? What is thine occupation? And whence comest thou? Which is thy country? And of what people art thou? |
| [9]And he saidH559[H8799] unto them, I am an HebrewH5680; and I fearH3373 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, which hath madeH6213[H8804] the seaH3220 and the dry landH3004. |
[9]And he answered them, I am an Hebrew, and I fear the Lord God of heaven, which hath made the sea, and the dry land. |
| [10]Then were the menH582 exceedinglyH1419[H3374] afraidH3372[H8799], and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Why hast thou doneH6213[H8804] this? For the menH582 knewH3045[H8804] that he fledH1272[H8802] from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, because he had toldH5046 themH8689. |
[10]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) |
| [11]Then saidH559[H8799] they unto him, What shall we doH6213[H8799] unto thee, that the seaH3220 may be calmH8367[H8799] unto us? for the seaH3220 wroughtH1980[H8802], and was tempestuousH5590.[H8802] |
[11]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 troublous) |
| [12]And he saidH559[H8799] unto them, Take me upH5375[H8798], and cast me forthH2904[H8685] into the seaH3220; so shall the seaH3220 be calmH8367[H8799] unto you: for I knowH3045[H8802] that for my sakeH7945 this greatH1419 tempest is upon youH5591. |
[12]And he said unto them, Take me, and cast me into the sea: so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. |
| [13]Nevertheless the menH582 rowed hardH2864[H8799] to bringH7725[H8687] it to the landH3004; but they couldH3201[H8804] not: for the seaH3220 wroughtH1980[H8802], and was tempestuousH5590 against themH8802. |
[13]Nevertheless, the men rowed to bring it to the land, but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was troublous against them. |
| [14]Wherefore they criedH7121[H8799] unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559[H8799], We beseech theeH577, O LORDH3068, we beseech thee, let us not perishH6[H8799] for this man'sH376 lifeH5315, and layH5414[H8799] not upon us innocentH5355[H8675][H5355] bloodH1818: for thou, O LORDH3068, hast doneH6213[H8804] as it pleasedH2654 theeH8804. |
[14]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. |
| [15]So they took upH5375[H8799] JonahH3124, and cast him forthH2904[H8686] into the seaH3220: and the seaH3220 ceasedH5975[H8799] from her ragingH2197. |
[15]So they took up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from her raging. |
| [16]Then the menH582 fearedH3372[H8799] the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH1419[H3374], and offeredH2076[H8799] a sacrificeH2077 unto the LORDH3068, and madeH5087[H8799] vowsH5088. |
[16]Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows. |
| [17]Now the LORDH3068 had preparedH4487[H8762] a greatH1419 fishH1709 to swallow upH1104[H8800] JonahH3124. And JonahH3124 was in the bellyH4578 of the fishH1709 threeH7969 daysH3117 and threeH7969 nightsH3915. |
[17]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. |
