CHAP. I.
Jonas being sent to preach in Ninive fleeth away by sea: a
tempest riseth; of which he being found, by lot, to be the
cause; is cast into the sea, which thereupon is calmed.
1 Now the word of the
Lord came to Jonas
the son of Amathi,
saying:
2 Arise, and go to note
Ninive the great city, and
preach in it: for the wickedness
thereof is come up before
me.
3 And Jonas rose up to
flee into note 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 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 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 Jonas went
down into the inner part of the
-- --
ship, and fell into note a deep sleep.
6 And the ship-master 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 And the men rowed
hard to return to land, but
they were not able: because
the sea tossed and swelled upon
them.
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 And they took Jonas,
and cast him into the sea: and
the sea ceased from raging.
16 And the men feared
the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed
victims to the Lord,
and made vows.
