1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3 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.
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 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. 6 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. 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 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? 9 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 . 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 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. 12 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. 13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them. 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 up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. 16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
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.
1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ionam filium Amathi dicens
2 surge vade in Nineven civitatem grandem
et praedica in ea
quia ascendit malitia eius coram me
3 et surrexit Iona ut fugeret in Tharsis a facie Domini
et descendit Ioppen
et invenit navem euntem in Tharsis
et dedit naulum eius et descendit in eam
ut iret cum eis in Tharsis a facie Domini
4 Dominus autem misit ventum magnum in mari
et facta est tempestas magna in mari
et navis periclitabatur conteri
5 et timuerunt nautae
et clamaverunt viri ad deum suum
et miserunt vasa quae erant in navi in mare
ut adleviaretur ab eis
et Iona descendit ad interiora navis
et dormiebat sopore gravi
6 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
7 et dixit vir ad collegam suum venite et mittamus sortes
et sciamus quare hoc malum sit nobis
et miserunt sortes et cecidit sors super Ionam
8 et dixerunt ad eum
indica nobis cuius causa malum istud sit nobis
quod est opus tuum quae terra tua
et quo vel ex quo populo es tu
9 et dixit ad eos Hebraeus ego sum
et Dominum Deum caeli ego timeo qui fecit mare et aridam
10 et timuerunt viri timore magno
et dixerunt ad eum quid hoc fecisti
cognoverunt enim viri quod a facie Domini fugeret
quia indicaverat eis
11 et dixerunt ad eum quid faciemus tibi et cessabit mare a nobis
quia mare ibat et intumescebat
12 et dixit ad eos
tollite me et mittite in mare et cessabit mare a vobis
scio enim ego
quoniam propter me tempestas grandis haec
super vos
13 et remigabant viri ut reverterentur ad aridam et non valebant
quia mare ibat et intumescebat super eos
14 et clamaverunt ad Dominum et dixerunt
quaesumus Domine ne pereamus in anima viri istius
et ne des super nos sanguinem innocentem
quia tu Domine sicut voluisti fecisti
15 et tulerunt Ionam et miserunt in mare
et stetit mare a fervore suo
16 et timuerunt viri timore magno Dominum
et immolaverunt hostias Domino et voverunt vota
