约拿奉遣赴尼尼微

耶和华的话临到亚米太的儿子约拿说: “你起来,往尼尼微大城去,向其中的居民呼喊,因为他们的恶达到我面前。”

违命避往他施

约拿却起来,逃往他施去躲避耶和华。下到约帕,遇见一只船要往他施去,他就给了船价,上了船,要与船上的人同往他施去,躲避耶和华。

海风大起舟人惊惧各吁其神

然而耶和华使海中起大风,海就狂风大作,甚至船几乎破坏。 水手便惧怕,各人哀求自己的神。他们将船上的货物抛在海中,为要使船轻些。约拿已下到底舱,躺卧沉睡。 船主到他那里,对他说:“你这沉睡的人哪,为何这样呢?起来,求告你的神!或者神顾念我们,使我们不致灭亡。” 船上的人彼此说:“来吧,我们掣签,看看这灾临到我们是因谁的缘故。”于是他们掣签,掣出约拿来。 众人对他说:“请你告诉我们,这灾临到我们是因谁的缘故?你以何事为业?你从哪里来?你是哪一国,属哪一族的人?” 他说:“我是希伯来人,我敬畏耶和华,那创造沧海旱地之天上的神。” 10 他们就大大惧怕,对他说:“你做的是什么事呢!”他们已经知道他躲避耶和华,因为他告诉了他们。

约拿见投于海

11 他们问他说:“我们当向你怎样行,使海浪平静呢?”这话是因海浪越发翻腾。 12 他对他们说:“你们将我抬起来,抛在海中,海就平静了。我知道你们遭这大风是因我的缘故。” 13 然而那些人竭力荡桨,要把船拢岸,却是不能,因为海浪越发向他们翻腾。 14 他们便求告耶和华说:“耶和华啊,我们恳求你,不要因这人的性命使我们死亡,不要使流无辜血的罪归于我们,因为你耶和华是随自己的意旨行事。” 15 他们遂将约拿抬起,抛在海中,海的狂浪就平息了。 16 那些人便大大敬畏耶和华,向耶和华献祭,并且许愿。

耶和华备巨鱼吞之

17 耶和华安排一条大鱼吞了约拿,他在鱼腹中三日三夜。

Jonah Flees From the Lord

The word of the Lord came to Jonah(A) son of Amittai:(B) “Go to the great city of Nineveh(C) and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”

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)

Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.(H) 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. 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)

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) 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?”

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.

Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
