Jonas 1
1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying,
ヱホバの言アミタイの子ヨナに臨めりいはく
2 Rise, and go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it; for the cry of its wickedness is come up to me.
起てかの大なる邑ニネベに往きこれを呼はり責よ そは其惡わが前に上り來ればなりと
3 But Jonas rose up to flee to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord. And he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid his fare, and went up into it, to sail with them to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord.
然るにヨナはヱホバの面をさけてタルシシへ逃れんと起てヨツパに下り行けるが機しもタルシシへ往く舟に遇ければその價値を給へヱホバの面をさけて偕にタルシシへ行んとてその舟に乗れり
4 And the Lord raised up a wind on the sea; and there was a great storm on the sea, and the ship was in danger of being broken.
時にヱホバ大風を海の上に起したまひて烈しき颺風海にありければ舟は幾んど破れんとせり
5 And the sailors were alarmed, and cried every one to his god, and cast out the wares that were in the ship into the sea, that it might be lightened of them. But Jonas was gone down into the hold of the ship, and was asleep, and snored.
かかりしかば船夫恐れて各おのれの神を呼び又舟を輕くせんとてその中なる載荷を海に投すてたり 然るにヨナは舟の奧に下りゐて臥て酣睡せり
6 And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, Why snore you? arise, and call upon your God, that God may save us, and we perish not.
船長來りて彼に云けるは汝なんぞかく酣睡するや起きて汝の神を呼べあるひは彼われらを眷顧て淪亡ざらしめんと
7 And each man said to his neighbor, Come, let us cast lots, and find out for whose sake this mischief is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.
かくて人衆互に云けるは此災の我儕にのぞめるは誰の故なるかを知んがため去來鬮を掣んと やがて鬮をひきしに鬮ヨナに當りければ
8 And they said to him, Tell us what is your occupation, and whence come you, and of what country and what people are you?
みな彼に云けるはこの災禍なにゆゑに我らにのぞめるか請ふ告げよ 汝の業は何なるや 何處より來れるや 汝の國は何處ぞや 何處の民なるや
9 And he said to them, I am a servant of the Lord; and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea, and the dry [land].
ヨナ彼等にいひけるは我はヘブル人にして海と陸とを造りたまひし天の神ヱホバを畏るる者なり
10 Then the men feared exceedingly, and said to him, What is this [that] you have done? for the men knew that he was fleeing from the face of the Lord, because he had told them.
是に於て船夫甚だしく懼れて彼に云けるは汝なんぞ其事をなせしやと その人々は彼がヱホバの面をさけて逃れしなるを知れり 其はさきにヨナ彼等に告げたればなり
11 And they said to him, What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea rose, and lifted its wave exceedingly.
遂に船夫彼にいひけるは我儕のために海を靜かにせんには汝に如何がなすべきや 其は海いよいよ甚だしく狂蕩たればなり
12 And Jonas 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.
ヨナ彼等に曰けるはわれを取りて海に投いれよ さらば海は汝等の爲に靜かにならん そはこの大なる颺風の汝等にのぞめるはわが故なるを知ればなり
13 And the men tried hard to return to the land, and were not able: for the sea rose and grew more and more tempestuous against them.
されど船夫は陸に漕もどさんとつとめたりしが終にあたはざりき 其は海かれらにむかひていよいよ烈しく蕩たればなり
14 And they cried to the Lord, and said, Forbid it, Lord: let us not perish for the sake of this man's life, and bring not righteous blood upon us: for you, Lord, have done as you would.
ここにおいて彼等ヱホバに呼はりて曰けるはヱホバよこひねがはくは此人の命の爲に我儕を滅亡したまふ勿れ 又罪なきの血をわれらに歸したまふなかれ そはヱホバよ汝 聖意にかなふところを爲し給へるなればなりと
15 So they took Jonas, and cast him out into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.
すなわちヨナを取りて海に投入たり しかして海のあるることやみぬ
16 And the men feared the Lord very greatly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord, and vowed vows.
かかりしかばその人々おほいにヱホバを畏れヱホバに犧牲を獻げ誓願を立たり
17 Now the Lord had commanded a great whale to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights.
さてヱホバすでに大なる魚を備へおきてヨナを呑しめ給へり ヨナは三日三夜魚の腹の中にありき
