1 and to be word LORD to(wards) Jonah son: child Amittai to/for to say

The Lord spoke to Jonah the son of Amittai, telling him,

2 to arise: rise to go: went to(wards) Nineveh [the] city [the] great: large and to call: call out upon her for to ascend: rise distress: evil their to/for face: before my

“Go immediately to the great city of Nineveh and condemn it because I have seen the wickedness of its people.”

But Jonah left and ran away to Tarshish to get away from the Lord. He went to Joppa where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He paid the fare and went on board to sail to Tarshish in order to get away from the Lord.

4 and LORD to cast spirit: breath great: large to(wards) [the] sea and to be tempest great: large in/on/with sea and [the] fleet to devise: devise to/for to break

The sailors were terrified and each of them prayed to their own god to save them. They threw the cargo overboard to make the ship lighter. Meanwhile, Jonah had gone down into the hold where he had laid down and fallen fast asleep.

The ship's captain went to Jonah and asked him, “How can you be sleeping? Get up and pray to your God. Maybe he will take notice of what's happening to us and we won't drown.”

Then the sailors said to each other, “Let's draw lots so we can find out who's to blame for this disaster that's fallen on us.” They drew lots and Jonah's name was came up.

So they asked him, “Tell us who is responsible for this trouble that we're in. What do you do for a living? Where are you from? What is your country? What is your nationality?”

The sailors became even more terrified and said to Jonah, “What have you done?” because Jonah had explained to them that he was running away from the Lord.

11 and to say to(wards) him what? to make: do to/for you and be quiet [the] sea from upon us for [the] sea to go: continue and to rage

“What shall we do to you to calm the storm?” they asked him, since the storm was getting worse.

12 and to say to(wards) them to lift: raise me and to cast me to(wards) [the] sea and be quiet [the] sea from upon you for to know I for in/on/with which/that to/for me [the] tempest [the] great: large [the] this upon you

“Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” Jonah replied. “Then the sea will become calm, because I know it's because of me that you're in this terrible storm.”

13 and to dig [the] human to/for to return: return to(wards) [the] dry land and not be able for [the] sea to go: continue and to rage upon them

Instead the sailors tried to row to get back to the shore, but they couldn't because the sea had become so wild from the worsening storm.

So they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea, and it became calm.

The sailors were overcome with fear. They offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made many promises to him.
