ylt @Jonah:1:1 @And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah son of Amittai , saying : ylt @Jonah:1:2 @'Rise , go unto Nineveh , the great city , and proclaim against it that their wickedness hath come up before Me .' ylt @Jonah:1:3 @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 . ylt @Jonah:1:4 @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 ; ylt @Jonah:1:5 @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 . ylt @Jonah:1:6 @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 .' ylt @Jonah:1:7 @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 . ylt @Jonah:1:8 @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 ?' ylt @Jonah:1:9 @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 .' ylt @Jonah:1:10 @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 . ylt @Jonah:1:11 @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 ?' ylt @Jonah:1:12 @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 .' ylt @Jonah:1:13 @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 . ylt @Jonah:1:14 @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 .' ylt @Jonah:1:15 @And they lift up Jonah , and cast him into the sea , and the sea ceaseth from its raging ; ylt @Jonah:1:16 @and the men fear Jehovah -- a great fear , and sacrifice a sacrifice to Jehovah , and vow vows . ylt @Jonah:1:17 @And Jehovah appointeth a great fish to swallow up Jonah , and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights .
