King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Now
the
word of the
LORD
came
unto Jonah the
son of Amittai, saying ,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto Jonah son of Amittai, saying :
Arise
, go to
Nineveh, that
great city, and cry
against it ;
for
their wickedness is
come up before me.
`Rise
, go unto
Nineveh, the
great city, and proclaim
against it that
their wickedness hath
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
.
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
.
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 .
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 ;
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.
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.
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
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
. '
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.
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.
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
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? '
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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 ?'
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.
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
bring
it
to the land ;
but
they
could
not :
for the sea wrought,
and was
tempestuous against them.
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.
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
.
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
. '
So
they look
up Jonah, and cast him forth
into the sea :
and the sea ceased
from her
raging .
And
they lift
up Jonah, and cast him into the sea ,
and the sea ceaseth
from its
raging ;
Then
the men feared
the
LORD
exceedingly
, and offered
a sacrifice unto
the
LORD
, and made
vows.
and
the men fear
Jehovah
--
a
great
fear
, and sacrifice
a sacrifice to
Jehovah
, and vow
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.
And
Jehovah
appointeth
a great fish to swallow up Jonah ,
and Jonah is
in the bowels
of the fish three days and three nights.
