Jonás 1

BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 La palabra de Yahveh fue dirigida a Jonás, hijo de Amittay, en estos términos:	1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 «Levántate, vete a Nínive, la gran ciudad, y proclama contra ella que su maldad ha subido hasta mí».	2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
9 Les respondió: «Soy hebreo y temo a Yahveh, Dios del cielo, que hizo el mar y la tierra».	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.
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 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.
11 Y le preguntaron: «¿Qué hemos de hacer contigo para que el mar se nos calme?» Pues el mar seguía encrespándose.	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.
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 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.
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 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
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 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.
15 Y, agarrando a Jonás, le tiraron al mar; y el mar calmó su furia.	15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Y aquellos hombres temieron mucho a Yahveh; ofrecieron un sacrificio a Yahveh y le hicieron votos.	16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
	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.
