Jonas 1
Dette er Biblen på dansk
1 Jonas Kald og Flugt Herrens Ord kom til Jonas, Amittajs Søn, således: 2 "Stå op og gå til Nineve, den store Stad, udråb over den, at deres Ondskab er kommet op for mit Åsyn."
3 Men Jonas stod op for at fly fra Herrens Åsyn til Tarsis. Han drog ned til Jafo, og da han fandt et Skib, som skulde til Tarsis betalte han, hvad Rejsen kostede, og gik om Bord for at sejle med til Tarsis bort fra Herrens Åsyn. 4 Men Herren Iod et stærkt Vejr fare hen over Havet, og en stærk Storm rejste sig på Havet, så Skibet var ved at gå under. 5 Sømændene blev rædde og råbte hver til sin Gud, og de kastede alle Sager i Skibet over Bord for at lette det. Men Jonas var gået ned i det underste Skibsrum og lå i dyb Søvn dernede. 6 Skibsføreren gik da ned til ham og sagde: "Hvor kan du sove? Stå op og råb til din Gud! Måske vil Gud komme os i Hu, så vi ikke omkommer."
7 Så sagde de til hverandre: "Kom, lad os kaste Lod for at få at vide, hvem der er Skyld i, at denne Ulykke er tilstødt os!" Og de kastede Lod, og Loddet ramte Jonas. 8 Da sagde de til ham: "Sig os, hvem der er Skyld i, at denne Ulykke er tilstødt os! Hvad er du, og hvor kommer du fra? Hvilket Land er du fra, og hvilket Folk hører du til?" 9 Han svarede: "Jeg er Hebræer, og jeg frygter Herren, Himmelens Gud, som har skabt Havet og det tørre Land." 10 Så grebes Mændene af stor Rædsel og sagde til ham: "Hvad har du gjort!" Thi de fik at vide, at han flyede fra Herrens Åsyn; det sagde han dem. 11 Og de spurgte ham: "Hvad skal vi gøre med dig, så vi får Havet til at lægge sig? Thi det rejser sig mere og mere." 12 Han svarede: "Tag og kast mig i Havet! Så får I det til at lægge sig; thi jeg ved, at jeg er Skyld i, at dette stærke Vejr er over eder." 13 Mændene søgte nu at ro tilbage til Land, men kunde ikke, da Ha- vet rejste sig mere og mere imod dem. 14 Så råbte de til Herren; "Ak, Herre! Lad os ikke omkomme for denne Mands Sjæls Skyld og lad ikke uskyldigt Blod komme over os; thi det erjo dig, Herre, derhar gjort, som du vilde." 15 Derpå tog de Jonas og kastede ham i Havet, og straks lagde det sig. 16 Og Mændene grebes af stor Rædsel for Herren, bragte ham et Slagtoffer og aflagde Løfter.

Jonah’s Flight
1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai:(A) 2 “Get up!(B) Go to the great city(C) of Nineveh(D) and preach against it,(E) because their wickedness(F) has confronted[a] Me.”(G) 3 However, Jonah got up to flee to Tarshish(H) from the Lord’s presence.(I) He went down(J) to Joppa(K) and found a ship going to Tarshish. He paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, from the Lord’s presence.
4 Then the Lord hurled(L) a violent wind on the sea,(M) and such a violent storm arose on the sea that the ship threatened to break apart. 5 The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his god.(N) They threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to lighten the load.(O) Meanwhile, Jonah had gone down to the lowest part of the vessel and had stretched out and fallen into a deep sleep.(P)
6 The captain approached him and said, “What are you doing sound asleep? Get up! Call to your god.[b](Q) Maybe this god will consider us,(R) and we won’t perish.”
7 “Come on!” the sailors said to each other. “Let’s cast lots.(S) Then we’ll know who is to blame for this trouble we’re in.” So they cast lots, and the lot singled out Jonah.(T) 8 Then they said to him, “Tell us who is to blame for this trouble we’re in.(U) What is your business(V) and where are you from? What is your country and what people are you from?”
9 He answered them, “I’m a Hebrew.(W) I worship[c] Yahweh,(X) the God of the heavens,(Y) who made the sea(Z) and the dry land.”
10 Then the men were even more afraid and said to him, “What is this you’ve done?” The men knew he was fleeing from the Lord’s presence,(AA) because he had told them. 11 So they said to him, “What should we do to you to calm this sea that’s against us?” For the sea was getting worse and worse.
12 He answered them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea[d] so it may quiet down for you, for I know that I’m to blame(AB) for this violent storm that is against you.” 13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they couldn’t because the sea was raging against them more and more.
14 So they called out to the Lord:(AC) “Please, Yahweh, don’t let us perish because of this man’s life, and don’t charge us with innocent blood! For You, Yahweh, have done just as You pleased.”(AD) 15 Then they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging.(AE) 16 The men feared the Lord(AF) even more, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows.(AG)
17 [e]Now the Lord had appointed a huge fish(AH) to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in[f] the fish three days and three nights.(AI)
