Jonás 1


font
BIBLIANEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 La palabra de Yahveh fue dirigida a Jonás, hijo de Amittay, en estos términos:1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jonah, son of Amittai:
2 «Levántate, vete a Nínive, la gran ciudad, y proclama contra ella que su maldad ha subido hasta mí».2 "Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and preach against it; their wickedness has come up before me."
3 Jonás se levantó para huir a Tarsis, lejos de Yahveh, y bajó a Joppe, donde encontró un barco que salía para Tarsis: pagó su pasaje y se embarcó para ir con ellos a Tarsis, lejos de Yahveh.3 But Jonah made ready to flee to Tarshish away from the LORD. He went down to Joppa, found a ship going to Tarshish, paid the fare, and went aboard to journey with them to Tarshish, away from the LORD.
4 Pero Yahveh desencadenó un gran viento sobre el mar, y hubo en el mar una borrasca tan violenta que el barco amenazaba romperse.4 The LORD, however, hurled a violent wind upon the sea, and in the furious tempest that arose the ship was on the point of breaking up.
5 Los marineros tuvieron miedo y se pusieron a invocar cada uno a su dios; luego echaron al mar la carga del barco para aligerarlo. Jonás, mientras tanto, había bajado al fondo del barco, se había acostado y dormía profundamente.5 Then the mariners became frightened and each one cried to his god. To lighten the ship for themselves, they threw its cargo into the sea. Meanwhile, Jonah had gone down into the hold of the ship, and lay there fast asleep.
6 El jefe de la tripulación se acercó a él y le dijo: «¿Qué haces aquí dormido? ¡Levántate e invoca a tu Dios! Quizás Dios se preocupe de nosotros y no perezcamos».6 The captain came to him and said, "What are you doing asleep? Rise up, call upon your God! Perhaps God will be mindful of us so that we may not perish."
7 Luego se dijeron unos a otros: «Ea, echemos a suertes para saber por culpa de quién nos ha venido este mal». Echaron a suertes, y la suerte cayó en Jonás.7 Then they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots to find out on whose account we have met with this misfortune." So they cast lots, and thus singled out Jonah.
8 Entonces le dijeron: «Anda, indícanos tú, por quien nos ha venido este mal, cuál es tu oficio y de dónde vienes, cuál es tu país y de qué pueblo eres».8 "Tell us," they said, "what is your business? Where do you come from? What is your country, and to what people do you belong?"
9 Les respondió: «Soy hebreo y temo a Yahveh, Dios del cielo, que hizo el mar y la tierra».9 "I am a Hebrew," Jonah answered them; "I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land."
10 Aquellos hombres temieron mucho y le dijeron: «¿Por qué has hecho esto?» Pues supieron los hombres que iba huyendo lejos de Yahveh por lo que él había manifestado.10 Now the men were seized with great fear and said to him, "How could you do such a thing!"--They knew that he was fleeing from the LORD, because he had told them.--
11 Y le preguntaron: «¿Qué hemos de hacer contigo para que el mar se nos calme?» Pues el mar seguía encrespándose.11 "What shall we do with you," they asked, "that the sea may quiet down for us?" For the sea was growing more and more turbulent.
12 Les respondió: «Agarradme y tiradme al mar, y el mar se os calmará, pues sé que es por mi culpa por lo que os ha sobrevenido esta gran borrasca».12 Jonah said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea, that it may quiet down for you; since I know it is because of me that this violent storm has come upon you."
13 Los hombres se pusieron a remar con ánimo de alcanzar la costa, pero no pudieron, porque el mar seguía encrespándose en torno a ellos.13 Still the men rowed hard to regain the land, but they could not, for the sea grew ever more turbulent.
14 Entonces clamaron a Yahveh, diciendo: «¡Ah, Yahveh, no nos hagas perecer a causa de este hombre, ni pongas sobre nosotros sangre inocente, ya que tú, Yahveh, has obrado conforme a tu beneplácito!»14 Then they cried to the LORD: "We beseech you, O LORD, let us not perish for taking this man's life; do not charge us with shedding innocent blood, for you, LORD, have done as you saw fit."
15 Y, agarrando a Jonás, le tiraron al mar; y el mar calmó su furia.15 Then they took Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea's raging abated.
16 Y aquellos hombres temieron mucho a Yahveh; ofrecieron un sacrificio a Yahveh y le hicieron votos.16 Struck with great fear of the LORD, the men offered sacrifice and made vows to him.
