Jonah 1

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 The word of Yahweh was addressed to Jonah son of Amittai:	1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς ιωναν τον του αμαθι λεγων
2 'Up!' he said, 'Go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to them that their wickedness has forced itselfupon me.'	2 αναστηθι και πορευθητι εις νινευη την πολιν την μεγαλην και κηρυξον εν αυτη οτι ανεβη η κραυγη της κακιας αυτης προς με
3 Jonah set about running away from Yahweh, and going to Tarshish. He went down to Jaffa and found aship bound for Tarshish; he paid his fare and boarded it, to go with them to Tarshish, to get away from Yahweh.	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
4 But Yahweh threw a hurricane at the sea, and there was such a great storm at sea that the shipthreatened to break up.	4 και κυριος εξηγειρεν πνευμα εις την θαλασσαν και εγενετο κλυδων μεγας εν τη θαλασση και το πλοιον εκινδυνευεν συντριβηναι
5 The sailors took fright, and each of them called on his own god, and to lighten the ship they threw thecargo overboard. Jonah, however, had gone below, had lain down in the hold and was fast asleep,	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
6 when the boatswain went up to him and said, 'What do you mean by sleeping? Get up! Call on yourgod! Perhaps he wil spare us a thought and not leave us to die.'	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
7 Then they said to each other, 'Come on, let us draw lots to find out who is to blame for bringing us thisbad luck.' So they cast lots, and the lot pointed to Jonah.	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
8 Then they said to him, 'Tel us, what is your business? Where do you come from? What is your country?What is your nationality?'	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
9 He replied, 'I am a Hebrew, and I worship Yahweh, God of Heaven, who made both sea and dry land.'	9 και ειπεν προς αυτους δουλος κυριου εγω ειμι και τον κυριον θεον του ουρανου εγω σεβομαι ος εποιησεν την θαλασσαν και την ξηραν
10 The sailors were seized with terror at this and said, 'Why ever did you do this?' since they knew that hewas trying to escape from Yahweh, because he had told them so.	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
11 They then said, 'What are we to do with you, to make the sea calm down for us?' For the sea wasgrowing rougher and rougher.	11 και ειπαν προς αυτον τι σοι ποιησωμεν και κοπασει η θαλασσα αφ' ημων οτι η θαλασσα επορευετο και εξηγειρεν μαλλον κλυδωνα
12 He replied, 'Take me and throw me into the sea, and then it wil calm down for you. I know it is my faultthat this great storm has struck you.'	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
13 The sailors rowed hard in an effort to reach the shore, but in vain, since the sea was growing rougherand rougher.	13 και παρεβιαζοντο οι ανδρες του επιστρεψαι προς την γην και ουκ ηδυναντο οτι η θαλασσα επορευετο και εξηγειρετο μαλλον επ' αυτους
14 So at last they cal ed on Yahweh and said, 'O, Yahweh, do not let us perish for the sake of this man'slife, and do not hold us responsible for causing an innocent man's death; for you, Yahweh, have acted as yousaw fit.'	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
15 And taking hold of Jonah they threw him into the sea; and the sea stopped raging.	15 και ελαβον τον ιωναν και εξεβαλον αυτον εις την θαλασσαν και εστη η θαλασσα εκ του σαλου αυτης
16 At this, the men were seized with dread of Yahweh; they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh and made vowsto him.	16 και εφοβηθησαν οι ανδρες φοβω μεγαλω τον κυριον και εθυσαν θυσιαν τω κυριω και ευξαντο ευχας
