1 HERRENs Ord kom til Jonas, Amittajs Søn, således:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.

2 "Stå op og gå til Nineve, den store Stad, udråb over den, at deres Ondskab er kommet op for mit Åsyn."

Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.

3 Men Jonas stod op for at fly fra HERRENs Åsyn til Tarsis. Han drog ned til Jafo, og da han fandt et Skib, som skulde til Tarsis betalte han, hvad Rejsen kostede, og gik om Bord for at sejle med til Tarsis bort fra HERRENs Åsyn.

And he arose Jonah to flee Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh and he went down Joppa and he found a ship - [which was] about to go Tarshish and he gave fare its and he went down in it to go with them Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh.

4 Men HERREN Iod et stærkt Vejr fare hen over Havet, og en stærk Storm rejste sig på Havet, så Skibet var ved at gå under.

And Yahweh he threw a wind great to the sea and it was a storm great on the sea and the ship it thought to be broken.

5 Sømændene blev rædde og råbte hver til sin Gud, og de kastede alle Sager i Skibet over Bord for at lette det. Men Jonas var gået ned i det underste Skibsrum og lå i dyb Søvn dernede.

And they were afraid the sailors and they cried for help everyone to gods his and they threw the vessels which [were] in the ship into the sea to lighten from on them and Jonah he had gone down into [the] innermost parts of the ship and he had lain down and he had fallen fast asleep.

6 Skibsføreren gik da ned til ham og sagde: "Hvor kan du sove? Stå op og råb til din Gud! Måske vil Gud komme os i Hu, så vi ikke omkommer."

And he drew near to him [the] chief of the sailor[s] and he said to him what? [is] to you sleeping arise call to god your perhaps he will give thought the god to us and not we will perish.

7 Så sagde de til hverandre: "Kom, lad os kaste Lod for at få at vide, hvem der er Skyld i, at denne Ulykke er tilstødt os!" Og de kastede Lod, og Loddet ramte Jonas.

And they said each to neighbor his come so let us cast lots so we may know by which of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us and they cast lots and it fell the lot on Jonah.

8 Da sagde de til ham: "Sig os, hvem der er Skyld i, at denne Ulykke er tilstødt os! Hvad er du, og hvor kommer du fra? Hvilket Land er du fra, og hvilket Folk hører du til?"

And they said to him tell! please to us because of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us what? [is] occupation your and from where? do you come what? [is] land your and where? from this people [are] you.

9 Han svarede: "Jeg er Hebræer, og jeg frygter HERREN, Himmelens Gud, som har skabt Havet og det tørre Land."

And he said to them [am] a Hebrew I and Yahweh [the] God of the heavens I [am] fearing who he made the sea and the dry land.

10 Så grebes Mændene af stor Rædsel og sagde til ham: "Hvad har du gjort!" Thi de fik at vide, at han flyede fra HERRENs Åsyn; det sagde han dem.

And they feared the men a fear great and they said to him what? this have you done for they knew the men that from to before Yahweh he [was] fleeing for he had told to them.

11 Og de spurgte ham: "Hvad skal vi gøre med dig, så vi får Havet til at lægge sig? Thi det rejser sig mere og mere."

And they said to him what? will we do to you so it may be calm the sea from on us for the sea [was] going and storming.

12 Han svarede: "Tag og kast mig i Havet! Så får I det til at lægge sig; thi jeg ved, at jeg er Skyld i, at dette stærke Vejr er over eder."

And he said to them pick up me and throw me into the sea so it may be calm the sea from on you for [am] knowing I that by which to me the storm great this [is] on you.

13 Mændene søgte nu at ro tilbage til Land, men kunde ikke, da Havet rejste sig mere og mere imod dem.

And they rowed the men to return to the dry land and not they were able for the sea [was] going and storming on them.

14 Så råbte de til HERREN; "Ak, HERRE! Lad os ikke omkomme for denne Mands Sjæls Skyld og lad ikke uskyldigt Blod komme over os; thi det erjo dig, HERRE, derhar gjort, som du vilde."

And they called out to Yahweh and they said we beg you O Yahweh do not please let us perish by [the] life of the man this and may not you put on us blood innocent for you O Yahweh just as you pleased you have done.

15 Derpå tog de Jonas og kastede ham i Havet, og straks lagde det sig.

And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.

16 Og Mændene grebes af stor Rædsel for HERREN, bragte ham et Slagtoffer og aflagde Løfter.
