ΙΩΝΑΣ - Giona - Jonah 1

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς Ιωναν τον υιον του Αμαθι, λεγων,	1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying:
2 Σηκωθητι, υπαγε εις Νινευη, την πολιν την μεγαλην, και κηρυξον κατ' αυτης? διοτι η ασεβεια αυτων ανεβη ενωπιον μου.	2 Arise, and go to Ninive the great city, and preach in it: for the wickedness thereof is come up before me.
3 Και εσηκωθη ο Ιωνας δια να φυγη εις Θαρσεις απο προσωπου Κυριου και κατεβη εις Ιοππην? και ευρηκε πλοιον πορευομενον εις Θαρσεις, και εδωκε τον ναυλον αυτου και επεβη εις αυτο, δια να υπαγη μετ' αυτων εις Θαρσεις απο προσωπου Κυριου.	3 And Jonas rose up to flee into Tharsis from the face of the Lord, and he went down to Joppe, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tharsis from the face of the Lord.
4 Αλλ' ο Κυριος εξηγειρεν ανεμον μεγαν επι την θαλασσαν, και εγεινε κλυδων μεγας εν τη θαλασση και το πλοιον εκινδυνευε να συντριφθη.	4 But the Lord sent a great wind into the sea: and a great tempest was raised in the sea, and the ship was in danger to be broken.
5 Και εφοβηθησαν οι ναυται και ανεβοησαν εκαστος προς τον θεον αυτου και εκαμον εκβολην των εν τω πλοιω σκευων εις την θαλασσαν, δια να ελαφρωθη απ' αυτων? ο δε Ιωνας κατεβη εις το κοιλωμα του πλοιου και επλαγιασε και εκοιματο βαθεως.	5 And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried to their god: and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship, into the sea, to lighten it of them: and Jones went down into the inner part of the ship, and fell into a deep sleep.
6 Και επλησιασε προς αυτον ο πλοιαρχος και ειπε προς αυτον, Τι κοιμασαι συ; σηκωθητι, επικαλου τον Θεον σου, ισως ο Θεος μας ενθυμηθη και δεν χαθωμεν.	6 And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him: Why art thou fast asleep? rise up, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think of us, that we may not perish.
7 Και ειπον εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου, Ελθετε και ας ριψωμεν κληρους, δια να γνωρισωμεν τινος ενεκεν το κακον τουτο ειναι εφ' ημας. Και ερριψαν κληρους και επεσεν ο κληρος επι τον Ιωναν.	7 And they said every one to his fellow: Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know why this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.
8 Τοτε ειπον προς αυτον, Ειπε τωρα προς ημας, τινος ενεκεν το κακον τουτο ηλθεν εφ' ημας; Τι ειναι το εργον σου; και ποθεν ερχεσαι; τις ο τοπος σου; και εκ τινος λαου εισαι;	8 And they said to him: Tell us for what cause this evil is upon us, what is thy business? of what country art thou? and whither goest thou? or of what people art thou?
9 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Εγω ειμαι Εβραιος? και σεβομαι Κυριον τον Θεον του ουρανου, οστις εποιησε 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 both the sea and the dry land.
10 Τοτε εφοβηθησαν οι ανθρωποι φοβον μεγαν και ειπον προς αυτον, Τι ειναι τουτο, το οποιον εκαμες; διοτι εγνωρισαν οι ανθρωποι, οτι εφευγεν απο προσωπου Κυριου, επειδη ειχεν αναγγειλει τουτο προς αυτους.	10 And the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him: Why hast thou done this? (for the men knew that he fled from the face of the Lord: because he had told them.)
11 Και ειπον προς αυτον, Τι να σε καμωμεν, δια να ησυχαση η θαλασσα αφ' ημων; διοτι η θαλασσα εκλυδωνιζετο επι το μαλλον.	11 And they said to him: What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled.
12 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Σηκωσατε με και ριψατε με εις την θαλασσαν, και η θαλασσα θελει ησυχασει αφ' υμων? διοτι εγω γνωριζω, οτι εξ αιτιας εμου εγεινεν ο μεγας ουτος κλυδων εφ' υμας.	12 And he said to them: Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
13 Οι ανθρωποι ομως εκωπηλατουν δυνατα δια να επιστρεψωσι προς την ξηραν? αλλα δεν εδυναντο, διοτι η θαλασσα εκλυδωνιζετο επι το μαλλον κατ' αυτων.	13 And the men rowed hard to return to land, but they were not able: because the sea tossed and swelled upon them.
14 Οθεν ανεβοησαν προς τον Κυριον και ειπον, Δεομεθα, Κυριε, δεομεθα, ας μη χαθωμεν δια την ζωην του ανθρωπου τουτου και μη επιβαλης εφ' ημας αιμα αθωον? διοτι συ, Κυριε, εκαμες ως ηθελες.	14 And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord, 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 Και εσηκωσαν τον Ιωναν και ερριψαν αυτον εις την θαλασσαν και η θαλασσα εσταθη απο του θυμου αυτης.	15 And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from raging.
16 Τοτε οι ανθρωποι εφοβηθησαν τον Κυριον φοβον μεγαν και προσεφεραν θυσιαν εις τον Κυριον και εκαμον ευχας.	16 And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to the Lord, and made vows.
17 Και διεταξε Κυριος μεγα κητος να καταπιη τον Ιωναν. Και ητο ο Ιωνας εν τη κοιλια του κητους τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας.
