| 1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς ιωναν τον του αμαθι λεγων | 1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, |
| 2 αναστηθι και πορευθητι εις νινευη την πολιν την μεγαλην και κηρυξον εν αυτη οτι ανεβη η κραυγη της κακιας αυτης προς με | 2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness has come up before me." |
| 3 και ανεστη ιωνας του φυγειν εις θαρσις εκ προσωπου κυριου και κατεβη εις ιοππην και ευρεν πλοιον βαδιζον εις θαρσις και εδωκεν το ναυλον αυτου και ενεβη εις αυτο του πλευσαι μετ' αυτων εις θαρσις εκ προσωπου κυριου | 3 But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went on board, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD. |
| 4 και κυριος εξηγειρεν πνευμα εις την θαλασσαν και εγενετο κλυδων μεγας εν τη θαλασση και το πλοιον εκινδυνευεν συντριβηναι | 4 But the LORD hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship threatened to break up. |
| 5 και εφοβηθησαν οι ναυτικοι και ανεβοων εκαστος προς τον θεον αυτων και εκβολην εποιησαντο των σκευων των εν τω πλοιω εις την θαλασσαν του κουφισθηναι απ' αυτων ιωνας δε κατεβη εις την κοιλην του πλοιου και εκαθευδεν και ερρεγχεν | 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried to his god; and they threw the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and had lain down, and was fast asleep. |
| 6 και προσηλθεν προς αυτον ο πρωρευς και ειπεν αυτω τι συ ρεγχεις αναστα και επικαλου τον θεον σου οπως διασωση ο θεος ημας και μη απολωμεθα | 6 So the captain came and said to him, "What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call upon your god! Perhaps the god will give a thought to us, that we do not perish." |
| 7 και ειπεν εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου δευτε βαλωμεν κληρους και επιγνωμεν τινος ενεκεν η κακια αυτη εστιν εν ημιν και εβαλον κληρους και επεσεν ο κληρος επι ιωναν | 7 And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. |
| 8 και ειπον προς αυτον απαγγειλον ημιν τινος ενεκεν η κακια αυτη εστιν εν ημιν τις σου η εργασια εστιν και ποθεν ερχη και εκ ποιας χωρας και εκ ποιου λαου ει συ | 8 Then they said to him, "Tell us, on whose account this evil has come upon us? What is your occupation? And whence do you come? What is your country? And of what people are you?" |
| 9 και ειπεν προς αυτους δουλος κυριου εγω ειμι και τον κυριον θεον του ουρανου εγω σεβομαι ος εποιησεν την θαλασσαν και την ξηραν | 9 And he said to them, "I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land." |
| 10 και εφοβηθησαν οι ανδρες φοβον μεγαν και ειπαν προς αυτον τι τουτο εποιησας διοτι εγνωσαν οι ανδρες οτι εκ προσωπου κυριου ην φευγων οτι απηγγειλεν αυτοις | 10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "What is this that you have done!" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them. |
| 11 και ειπαν προς αυτον τι σοι ποιησωμεν και κοπασει η θαλασσα αφ' ημων οτι η θαλασσα επορευετο και εξηγειρεν μαλλον κλυδωνα | 11 Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?" For the sea grew more and more tempestuous. |
| 12 και ειπεν ιωνας προς αυτους αρατε με και εμβαλετε με εις την θαλασσαν και κοπασει η θαλασσα αφ' υμων διοτι εγνωκα εγω οτι δι' εμε ο κλυδων ο μεγας ουτος εφ' υμας εστιν | 12 He said to them, "Take me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you; for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you." |
| 13 και παρεβιαζοντο οι ανδρες του επιστρεψαι προς την γην και ουκ ηδυναντο οτι η θαλασσα επορευετο και εξηγειρετο μαλλον επ' αυτους | 13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring the ship back to land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. |
| 14 και ανεβοησαν προς κυριον και ειπαν μηδαμως κυριε μη απολωμεθα ενεκεν της ψυχης του ανθρωπου τουτου και μη δως εφ' ημας αιμα δικαιον οτι συ κυριε ον τροπον εβουλου πεποιηκας | 14 Therefore they cried to the LORD, "We beseech thee, O LORD, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not on us innocent blood; for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee." |
| 15 και ελαβον τον ιωναν και εξεβαλον αυτον εις την θαλασσαν και εστη η θαλασσα εκ του σαλου αυτης | 15 So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging. |
| 16 και εφοβηθησαν οι ανδρες φοβω μεγαλω τον κυριον και εθυσαν θυσιαν τω κυριω και ευξαντο ευχας | 16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows. |
| 17 And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. |
