YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Now
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
Jonah son of Amittai, saying ,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
Jonah son of Amittai, saying :
“Get
up!
Go to
the great city of
Nineveh
and preach
against it ,
because
its
wickedness has
come up before Me. ”
`Rise,
go unto
Nineveh,
the great city ,
and proclaim
against it that
their
wickedness hath
come up before Me. '
Jonah ,
however,
got
up
to flee to Tarshish ,
away
from the presence
of the
LORD.
He
went
down to Joppa and found
a ship bound
for
Tarshish .
So
he paid
the
fare and went
aboard
to sail
for
Tarshish ,
away
from the presence
of the
LORD
.
And
Jonah riseth
to flee to Tarshish from the face
of Jehovah,
and
goeth
down `
to '
Joppa ,
and findeth
a ship going
`to'
Tarshish ,
and
he giveth
its
fare ,
and goeth
down
into
it,
to go
with
them
to
Tarshish from the face
of Jehovah
.
Then
the
LORD
hurled
a great wind upon
the sea, and such
a violent
storm
arose
that
the ship was
in
danger
of
breaking
apart.
And
Jehovah
hath
cast
a great wind on
the sea, and there
is
a great
tempest
in
the sea,
and
the
ship hath
reckoned
to
be
broken;
The sailors
were
afraid, and each cried
out
to
his own
god .
And they
threw
the ship’s
cargo
into the sea to lighten
the
load.
But
Jonah had
gone down to
the lowest
part
of the vessel, where
he lay
down and fell
into
a
deep
sleep
.
and
the mariners
are
afraid, and cry
each unto
his god ,
and cast
the goods
that
`are'
in
the
ship
into the sea ,
to make
`it'
light
of
them;
and
Jonah hath
gone down unto
the sides
of the vessel, and
he lieth
down ,
and is
fast
asleep
.
The captain
approached
him and said
, “How
can
you
sleep
? Get
up
and
call upon
your
God .
Perhaps
this
God will
consider
us, so
that
we may
not perish. ”
And
the chief
of
the
company
draweth
near
to
him ,
and saith
to
him
, `What
--
to
thee,
O
sleeper
? rise,
call unto
thy
God ,
it
may
be
God doth
bethink
himself
of
us, and
we do
not perish. '
“
Come !”
said
the
sailors
to
one
another.
“Let
us
cast lots to
find
out
who
is
responsible
for
this calamity
that
is upon
us. ”
So
they cast lots, and the lot fell
on Jonah.
And
they
say
each
unto
his
neighbour,
`
Come ,
and
we
cast lots ,
and
we
know
on
whose
account
this evil
`
is '
on
us. '
And
they cast lots, and the lot falleth
on Jonah.
“Tell
us
now,”
they demanded
, “who
is
to blame
for
this calamity
that
is upon
us? What is your
occupation, and where
have
you
come
from
? What is your
country, and
who
are
your
people? ”
And
they say
unto
him
, `Declare
to us,
we
pray
thee,
on
what
account
this evil
`
is '
on
us? what `
is '
thine
occupation, and whence
comest
thou
? what `
is '
thy
country, seeing
thou
art
not
of
this
people? '
“I
am
a Hebrew ,”
replied
Jonah.
“
I worship
the
LORD
, the
God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land. ”
And
he
saith
unto
them,
`
A Hebrew I `am'
, and
Jehovah,
God of the heavens, I
am
reverencing,
who made the sea and the dry land. '
Then
the men were
even
more
afraid
and said
to
him, “
What have
you
done ?”
The men knew
that he
was
fleeing
from the presence
of the
LORD
, because
he had
told them.
And
the men fear
a
great
fear,
and say
unto
him, `
What `is'
this
thou
hast
done !'
for
the men have
known
that from the face
of Jehovah
he
is
fleeing
, for
he hath
told them.
Now
the
sea
was
growing
worse
and worse,
so
they said
to
Jonah
, “
What must
we do to you
to
calm
this
sea for
us? ”
And they say
unto
him
, `
What do
we do to thee
that
the
sea may
cease
from
us ,
for
the
sea
is
more
and
more
tempestuous
? '
“Pick
me up, ”
he
answered,
“
and cast me into the sea, so
it
may
quiet
down
for
you .
For I know that I
am
to
blame
for
this violent
storm
that
has
come
upon you. ”
And
he
saith
unto
them,
`Lift
me up, and cast me into the sea, and
the
sea
doth
cease
from
you ;
for I know that on
my
account
this great
tempest
`is'
upon you. '
Nevertheless,
the men rowed
hard
to get
back to
dry land, but
they
could
not, for the sea was
raging
against
them
more and more.
And
the men row
to turn
back unto
the
dry land, and
are
not able
, for the sea is
more and more tempestuous
against
them
.
So
they cried
out
to
the
LORD:
“Please
, O LORD
, do
not
let us perish on
account
of
this man’s
life !
Do not charge
us with
innocent blood !
For You
, O
LORD
, have
done
as You
pleased. ”
And
they cry
unto
Jehovah
, and
say,
`We
pray
Thee,
O Jehovah
, let us not,
we
pray
Thee,
perish for
this man's
life ,
and
do not lay
on
us innocent blood ,
for Thou
, Jehovah
, as Thou
hast
pleased ,
Thou
hast
done
. '
At
this,
they picked
up Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the raging
sea grew
calm.
And
they lift
up Jonah ,
and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceaseth
from
its
raging;
Then
the men feared
the
LORD
greatly
, and they
offered
a sacrifice to the
LORD
and made
vows to
Him
.
and
the men fear
Jehovah
--
a
great
fear
, and sacrifice
a sacrifice to Jehovah,
and vow
vows.
Now
the
LORD
had
appointed
a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah spent
three
days
and
three
nights
in the belly
of the fish.
And
Jehovah
appointeth
a great fish to swallow up
Jonah, and Jonah is
in the bowels
of the fish three
days
and
three
nights
.
