Jonah Flees from Yahweh’s Presence
1 Now the word of [a]Yahweh came to (A)Jonah the son of Amittai saying, 2 “Arise, go to (B)Nineveh, the great city, and (C)call out against it, for their (D)evil has come up before Me.” 3 Yet Jonah arose to flee to (E)Tarshish (F)from the presence of Yahweh. So he went down to (G)Joppa, found a ship which was going to Tarshish, and [b]paid its fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
4 But (H)Yahweh hurled a great wind on the sea, and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship gave thought to [c]breaking apart. 5 Then the sailors became fearful, and every man cried to (I)his god, and they (J)hurled the [d]cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it [e]for them. But Jonah had gone down below into the innermost part of the vessel, lain down, and fallen deep asleep. 6 So the captain came near to him and said to him, “How is it that you are deeply sleeping? Arise, (K)call on your god. Perhaps your (L)god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish.”
7 Then each man said to the other, “Come, let us [f](M)have the lots fall so we may know on whose account this calamitous evil has struck us.” So they [g]had the lots fall, and the (N)lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, “(O)Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamitous evil struck us? What is your (P)occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?” 9 And he said to them, “I am a (Q)Hebrew, and I (R)fear Yahweh, the (S)God of heaven, who (T)made the sea and the dry land.”
10 Then the men became greatly fearful, and they said to him, “What is this you have done?” For the men knew that he was (U)fleeing from the presence of Yahweh because he had told them. 11 So they said to him, “What should we do to you that the sea may become quiet [h]for us?”—for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy. 12 So he said to them, “Lift me up and hurl me into the sea. Then the sea will become quiet [i]for you, for I know that (V)on account of me this great storm has come upon you.” 13 However, the men [j]rowed desperately to return to dry land, but they could not, for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy against them. 14 Then they called on (W)Yahweh and said, “Ah! O Yahweh, we earnestly pray, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life, and do not put innocent blood on us; for (X)You, O Yahweh, as You have pleased You have done.”
15 So they lifted Jonah up and hurled him into the sea, and the sea (Y)stood still from its raging. 16 Then the men greatly feared Yahweh, and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh and made (Z)vows.
17 [k]And Yahweh appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the (AA)stomach of the fish three days and three nights.

Iona încearcă să fugă departe de faţa Domnului
1 Cuvântul Domnului a venit la Iona, fiul lui Amitai,[a] şi i-a zis: 2 „Scoală-te şi du-te la Ninive, cetatea cea mare, şi strigă împotriva ei, căci răutatea ei s-a suit până la Mine!“
3 Dar Iona s-a sculat să fugă la Tarşiş[b], departe de faţa Domnului. El s-a dus la Iafo şi a găsit acolo o corabie care mergea spre Tarşiş. După ce a plătit preţul călătoriei, s-a urcat în corabie ca să meargă împreună cu marinarii la Tarşiş, departe de faţa Domnului.
4 Domnul însă a dezlănţuit pe mare un vânt năprasnic şi astfel s-a stârnit o furtună atât de puternică, încât corabia ameninţa să se sfărâme. 5 Marinarilor li s-a făcut frică şi fiecare a strigat către zeul său, iar pentru a face corabia mai uşoară, au aruncat în mare uneltele care erau în ea.
Iona însă coborâse în cala corabiei, unde se întinsese şi adormise dus. 6 Căpitanul s-a apropiat de el şi i-a zis: „Cum poţi să dormi? Scoală-te şi strigă către Dumnezeul tău! Poate că Dumnezeul tău se va gândi la noi şi nu vom pieri!“
7 Apoi marinarii au zis unul către celălalt: „Haideţi să tragem la sorţi ca să aflăm din cauza cui a venit peste noi nenorocirea aceasta!“ Ei au tras la sorţi şi sorţul a căzut pe Iona.
8 Atunci ei l-au întrebat:
– Spune-ne, din cauza cui a venit peste noi această nenorocire? Care este meseria ta şi de unde vii? Care este ţara ta şi din ce popor eşti?
9 El le-a răspuns:
– Sunt evreu şi mă tem de Domnul, Dumnezeul cerurilor, Care a făcut marea şi uscatul!
10 Bărbaţii aceia s-au înfricoşat foarte tare şi l-au întrebat:
– De ce ai făcut lucrul acesta?[c]
(Ei aflaseră că fugea de faţa Domnului, întrucât el le spusese acest lucru.)
11 Marea era din ce în ce mai învolburată, astfel că ei l-au întrebat iarăşi:
– Ce să-ţi facem, pentru ca marea să se liniştească faţă de noi?
12 El le-a răspuns:
– Luaţi-mă şi aruncaţi-mă în mare, iar marea se va linişti faţă de voi, întrucât ştiu că din cauza mea a venit peste voi această furtună puternică!
13 Bărbaţii aceia au încercat totuşi să vâslească pentru a se putea întoarce pe uscat, dar n-au reuşit, căci marea se învolbura tot mai tare împotriva lor. 14 Atunci au strigat către Domnul şi au zis: „Doamne, Te rugăm, nu ne lăsa să pierim din cauza vieţii acestui bărbat! Nu lăsa să cadă asupra noastră sânge nevinovat, căci Tu, Doamne, ai făcut aşa cum Ţi-a plăcut!“ 15 Apoi l-au luat pe Iona şi l-au aruncat în mare, iar marea şi-a potolit furia. 16 Atunci bărbaţii aceia s-au temut foarte tare de Domnul; ei I-au adus Domnului o jertfă şi au făcut juruinţe.
17 Domnul a trimis un peşte mare să-l înghită pe Iona, şi Iona a stat în pântecele peştelui timp de trei zile şi trei nopţi.

King James Version
1 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
4 But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, 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 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows.
17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Jonah Flees From the Lord
1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah(A) son of Amittai:(B) 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh(C) and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
3 But Jonah ran(D) away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish(E). He went down to Joppa,(F) where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.(G)
4 Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.(H) 5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship.(I)
But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call(J) on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.”(K)
7 Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.”(L) They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.(M) 8 So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?”
9 He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord,(N) the God of heaven,(O) who made the sea(P) and the dry land.(Q)”
10 This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.)
11 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”
12 “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”(R)
13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before.(S) 14 Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man,(T) for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.”(U) 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.(V) 16 At this the men greatly feared(W) the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows(X) to him.
Jonah’s Prayer
17 Now the Lord provided(Y) a huge fish to swallow Jonah,(Z) and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
