Jonas foge do Senhor
1 O Senhor enviou uma mensagem a Jonas, filho de Amitai. 2 “Vai à grande cidade de Nínive e prega contra ela, porque a sua maldade subiu até a minha presença!”
3 Mas Jonas resolveu ausentar-se para longe do Senhor. Desceu até à costa, até ao porto de Jope, onde achou um navio que partia para Társis. Comprou uma passagem, entrou no barco seguindo para Társis, fugindo assim do Senhor.
4 Enquanto o barco navegava, o Senhor fez levantar-se uma terrível ventania e desencadear-se uma tempestade tal que o navio estava a ponto de se despedaçar. 5 Temendo pelas suas vidas, os marinheiros desesperados gritavam cada um pelo seu deus e atiravam pela borda fora o carregamento, para tornar mais leve a embarcação. Enquanto isto se passava, Jonas dormia profundamente no porão do barco.
6 O capitão mandou chamá-lo: “O que é que se passa contigo? Estás a dormir numa situação destas? Clama também ao teu Deus, para ver se tem misericórdia de nós e nos salva!”
7 A tripulação resolveu tirar à sorte, a fim de verificarem quem é que, entre eles, ofendera os deuses e provocara tamanho temporal. E a sorte recaiu sobre Jonas.
8 “Que foi que fizeste”, perguntaram-lhe, “para que este furacão tremendo caísse sobre nós? Quem és tu? O que fazes? Donde é que vens? De que nacionalidade és?”
9 “Sou hebreu e temo o Senhor, o Deus dos céus, que fez a terra e os mares.” 10 Depois contou-lhes que estava a fugir do Senhor.
Os homens ficaram aterrorizados: “Oh! E porque é que fizeste uma coisa destas? 11 O que é que havemos de te fazer para acabar com este temporal?” E o tempo piorava assustadoramente.
12 “Deitem-me ao mar e tudo ficará calmo outra vez. Porque sei que esta tempestade aconteceu por minha causa.”
13 Entretanto, os remadores tentavam em vão levar o barco para a costa; a tormenta era tal que se tornava impossível lutar contra ela. 14 Então clamaram ao Senhor: “Ó Senhor, não nos tires a nós a vida, por causa do pecado deste homem! Não nos tornes culpados de derramar sangue inocente. Afinal, Senhor, tu procedeste o que te aprouve.”
15 Pegaram depois em Jonas, lançaram-no pela borda fora e tudo se acalmou!
16 Aquela gente temeu imenso o Senhor; ofereceu-lhe sacrifícios e fez votos de o servir.
17 No entanto, o Senhor preparou um grande peixe para que engolisse Jonas e este ficou vivo no interior do peixe três dias e três noites.

Jonah Flees the Presence of the Lord
1 Now the word of the Lord came to (A)Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to (B)Nineveh, that (C)great city, and call out against it, (D)for their evil[a] has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah (E)rose to flee to (F)Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to (G)Joppa and found a ship going to (H)Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to (I)Tarshish, (J)away from the presence of the Lord.
4 But (K)the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship threatened (L)to break up. 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and (M)each cried out to his god. And (N)they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and had lain down and was fast asleep. 6 So the captain came and said to him, “What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, (O)call out to your god! (P)Perhaps the god will give a thought to us, that we may not perish.”
Jonah Is Thrown into the Sea
7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us (Q)cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, “Tell us on whose account this evil has come upon us. What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?” 9 And he said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear (R)the Lord, the God of heaven, (S)who made the sea and the dry land.” 10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid and said to him, “What is this that you have done!” For the men knew that (T)he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?” For the sea grew more and more tempestuous. 12 He said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you, (U)for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you.” 13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard[b] to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they called out to the Lord, “O Lord, let us not perish for this man's life, and (V)lay not on us innocent blood, (W)for you, O Lord, have done as it pleased you.” 15 So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, (X)and the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, (Y)and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord (Z)and made vows.
A Great Fish Swallows Jonah
17 [c] And the Lord appointed[d] a great fish to swallow up Jonah. (AA)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.
