起てかの大なる邑ニネベに往きこれを呼はり責めよ そは其惡わが前に上り來ればなりと

3 And Jonas roos for to fle in to Tharsis, fro the face of the Lord. And he cam doun to Joppe, and foond a schip goynge in to Tharsis, and he yaf schip hire to hem; and he wente doun in to it, for to go with hem in to Tharsis, fro the face 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 Forsothe the Lord sente a greet wynd in the see, and a greet tempest was maad in the see, and the schip was in perel for to be al to-brokun.

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 schip men dredden, and men crieden to her god; and senten vessels, that weren in the schip, in to the see, that it were maad liytere of hem. And Jonas wente doun in to the ynnere thingis of the schip, and slepte bi a greuouse sleep.

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 gouernour cam to him, and seide to hym, Whi art thou cast doun in sleep? rise thou, clepe thi God to help, if perauenture God ayenthenke of vs, and we perische not.

船長來りて彼に云けるは汝なんぞかく酣睡するや起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 a man seide to his felowe, Come ye, and caste we lottis, and wite we, whi this yuel is to vs. And thei kesten lottis, and lot felle on 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 thei seiden to hym, Schewe thou to vs, for cause of what thing this yuel is to vs; what is thi werk, which is thi lond, and whidur goist thou, ether of what puple art thou?

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 seide to hem, Y am an Ebrew, and Y drede the Lord God of heuene, that made the see and the drie lond.

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 And the men dredden with greet drede, and seiden to him, Whi didist thou this thing? for the men knewen that he flei fro the face of the Lord, for Jonas hadde schewide to hem.

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たればなり

11 And thei seiden to hym, What schulen we do to thee, and the see schal seesse fro vs? for the see wente, and wexe greet on hem.

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 he seide to hem, Take ye me, and throwe in to the see, and the see schal ceesse fro you; for Y woot, that for me this greet tempest is on 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 men rowiden, for to turne ayen to the drie lond, and thei miyten not, for the see wente, and wexe greet on hem.

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 thei crieden to the Lord, and seiden, Lord, we bisechen, that we perische not in the lijf of this man, and that thou yyue not on vs innocent blood; for thou, Lord, didist as thou woldist.

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給ふなかれ 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 And thei token Jonas, and threwen in to the see; and the see stood of his buylyng.

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 dredden the Lord with greet drede, and offriden oostis to the Lord, and vowiden avowis.

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 And the Lord made redi a greet fisch, that he shulde swolowe Jonas; and Jonas was in the wombe of the fisch thre daies and thre niytis.

さてヱホバすでに大なる魚を備へおきてヨナを呑しめたまへり ヨナは三日三夜魚の腹の中にありき
