Jonah 1:1 ¶ Now the word1697 of Yahweh3068 came to Jonah3124 the son1121 of Amittai,573 saying,5592 "Arise,6965 go3212 to Nineveh,5210 that great1419 city,5892 and preach7121 against it, for their wickedness7451 has come up5927 before6440 me."
Jonah 1:3 ¶ But Jonah3124 rose up6965 to flee1272 to Tarshish8659 from the presence6440 of Yahweh.3068 He went down3381 to Joppa,3305 and found4672 a ship591 going935 to Tarshish;8659 so he paid5414 its fare,7939 and went down3381 into it, to go935 with them to Tarshish8659 from the presence6440 of Yahweh.30684 But Yahweh3068 sent out2904 a great1419 wind7307 on the sea,3220 and there was a mighty1419 storm5591 on the sea,3220 so that the ship591 was likely2803 to break7665 up.
5 Then the mariners4419 were afraid,3372 and every man376 cried2199 to his god.430 They threw2904 the cargo3627 that was in the ship591 into the sea3220 to lighten7043 the ship. But Jonah3124 had gone down3381 into the innermost parts3411 of the ship,5600 and he was laying7901 down, and was fast asleep.72906 So the shipmaster7227 came7126 to him, and said559 to him, "What do you mean, sleeper?7290 Arise,6965 call7121 on your God!430{or, gods} Maybe your God430 will notice6245 us, so that we won't perish."6
Jonah 1:7 ¶ They all said559 to each376 other,7453 "Come,3212 let us cast5307 lots,1486 that we may know3045 who is responsible7945 for this evil7451 that is on us." So they cast5307 lots,1486 and the lot1486 fell5307 on Jonah.31248 Then they asked559 him, "Tell5046 us, please, for whose cause this evil7451 is on us. What is your occupation?4399 Where370 do you come935 from? What is your country?776 Of what people5971 are you?"
Jonah 1:9 ¶ He said559 to them, "I am a Hebrew,5680 and I fear3373 Yahweh,3068 the God430{The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).} of heaven,8064 who has made6213 the sea3220 and the dry3004 land."
Jonah 1:10 ¶ Then were the men582 exceedingly1419 afraid,3372 and said559 to him, "What is this that you have done?"6213 For the men582 knew3045 that he was fleeing1272 from the presence6440 of Yahweh,3068 because he had told5046 them.
11 Then they said559 to him, "What shall we do6213 to you, that the sea3220 may be calm8367 to us?" For the sea3220 grew1980 more and more stormy.559012 He said559 to them, "Take me up,5375 and throw2904 me into the sea.3220 Then the sea3220 will be calm8367 for you; for I know3045 that because of7945 me this great1419 storm5591 is on you."
Jonah 1:13 ¶ Nevertheless the men582 rowed hard2864 to get7725 them back to the land;3004 but they could3201 not, for the sea3220 grew1980 more and more stormy5590 against them.
14 Therefore they cried7121 to Yahweh,3068 and said,559 "We beg you,577 Yahweh,3068 we beg you,577 don't let us die for this man's376 life,5315 and don't lay5414 on us innocent5355 blood;1818 for you, Yahweh,3068 have done6213 as it pleased2654 you."
15 So they took up5375 Jonah,3124 and threw2904 him into the sea;3220 and the sea3220 ceased5975 its raging.219716 Then the men582 feared3372 Yahweh3068 exceedingly;1419 and they offered2076 a sacrifice2077 to Yahweh,3068 and made5087 vows.5088
Jonah 1:17 ¶ Yahweh3068 prepared4487 a great1419 fish1709 to swallow up1104 Jonah,3124 and he3124 was in the belly4578 of the fish1709 three7969 days3117 and three7969 nights.3915
