Jonah 1

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,	1 ܘܗܘܐ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܢܢ ܒܪ ܡܬܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.	2 ܩܘܡ ܙܠ ܠܢܝܢܘܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܟܪܙ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܡܛܠ ܕܣܠܩܬ ܒܝܫܘܬܗܘܢ ܩܕܡܝ
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.	3 ܘܩܡ ܝܘܢܢ ܠܡܥܪܩ ܠܬܪܫܝܫ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܢܚܬ ܠܝܘܦܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܐܠܦܐ ܕܥܐܠܐ ܠܬܪܫܝܫ ܘܝܗܒ ܐܓܪܐ ܘܢܚܬ ܠܗ̇ ܠܡܥܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܠܬܪܫܝܫ ܠܡܥܪܩ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ
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.	4 ܘܡܪܝܐ ܐܪܡܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܡܚܫܘܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܐܠܦܐ ܡܬܗܦܟܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܡܬܬܒܪܘ
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.	5 ܘܕܚܠܘ ܡ̈ܠܚܐ ܘܓܥܘ ܐܢܫ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܗ ܘܫܕܘ ܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܕܢܩܠܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܚܬ ܠܗ ܠܐܫܬܗ̇ ܕܐܠܦܐ ܘܕܡܟ
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.	6 ܘܩܪܒ ܠܘܬܗ ܪܒ ܡ̈ܠܚܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܕܡܟ ܐܢܬ ܩܘܡ ܩܪܝ ܠܐܠܗܟ ܟܒܪ ܢܦܨܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܐܒܕ
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.	7 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܓܒܪ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܬܘ ܢܪܡܐ ܦܨ̈ܐ ܘܢܕܥ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܐܬܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܦܨ̈ܐ ܘܣܠܩܬ ܦܨܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ
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?	8 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܚܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܐܬܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܥܒܕܟ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܐܪܥܟ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܥܡܐ
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.	9 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܥܒܪܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܕܚܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܡܐ ܘܝܒܫܐ
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.	10 ܘܕܚܠܘ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܪܩ ܘܟܕ ܚܘܝ ܐܢܘܢ
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.	11 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܘܢܫܠܐ ܝܡܐ ܡܢܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܡܐ ܗܐ ܐܙܠ ܘܡܬܕܠܚ ܥܠܝܢ
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.	12 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܫܘܩܠܘܢܝ ܘܐܪܡܐܘܢܝ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܢܫܠܐ ܝܡܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܢܐ ܡܚܫܘܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ
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.	13 ܘܐܬܟܬܫܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܠܝܒܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܡܐ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܬܕܠܚ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
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.	14 ܘܩܪܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܐܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܐܒܕ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܫܘܒ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܡܐ ܙܟܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ
15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.	15 ܘܫܩܠܘܗܝ ܠܝܘܢܢ ܘܫܕܐܘܗܝ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܐܬܬܢܝܚ ܝܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܚܫ̈ܘܠܘܗܝ
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.	16 ܘܕܚܠܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܕܒܚܘ ܕܒܚ̈ܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܢܕܪܘ ܢܕܪ̈ܐ
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.
