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.

Jonah’s Disobedience
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 cry out against it; for (D)their wickedness has come up before Me.” 3 But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to (E)Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to (F)Tarshish (G)from the presence of the Lord.
The Storm at Sea
4 But (H)the Lord [a]sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.
5 Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten [b]the load. But Jonah had gone down (I)into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.
6 So the captain came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, (J)call on your God; (K)perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish.”
7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us (L)cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, (M)“Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?”
9 So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear [c]the Lord, the God of heaven, (N)who made the sea and the dry land.”
Jonah Thrown into the Sea
10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “Why have you done this?” For the men knew that he fled 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 be calm for us?”—for the sea was growing more tempestuous.
12 And he said to them, (O)“Pick me up and [d]throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me.”
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, (P)but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they cried out to the Lord and said, “We pray, O Lord, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and (Q)do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O Lord, (R)have done as it pleased You.” 15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, (S)and the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men (T)feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord and took vows.
Jonah’s Prayer and Deliverance
17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And (U)Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Joonan 1
Raamattu 1933/38
1 Joonalle, Amittain pojalle, tuli tämä Herran sana:
2 "Nouse, mene Niiniveen, siihen suureen kaupunkiin, ja saarnaa sitä vastaan; sillä heidän pahuutensa on noussut minun kasvojeni eteen".
3 Mutta Joona nousi paetaksensa Tarsiiseen Herran kasvojen edestä ja meni alas Jaafoon ja löysi laivan, joka oli lähtevä Tarsiiseen. Ja hän suoritti laivamaksun ja astui siihen mennäkseen heidän kanssansa Tarsiiseen, pois Herran kasvojen edestä.
4 Mutta Herra heitti suuren tuulen merelle, niin että merellä nousi suuri myrsky ja laiva oli särkymäisillään.
5 Niin merimiehet pelkäsivät ja huusivat avuksi itsekukin jumalaansa. Ja he heittivät mereen tavarat, mitä laivassa oli, keventääkseen sitä. Mutta Joona oli mennyt alas laivan pohjalle ja pannut maata, ja hän nukkui raskaasti.
6 Niin laivuri tuli hänen luoksensa ja sanoi hänelle: "Mitäs nukut? Nouse ja huuda jumalaasi. Ehkäpä se jumala muistaa meitä, niin ettemme huku."
7 Ja he sanoivat toisillensa: "Tulkaa, heittäkäämme arpaa, saadaksemme tietää, kenen tähden tämä onnettomuus on meille tullut". Mutta kun he heittivät arpaa, lankesi arpa Joonalle.
8 Niin he sanoivat hänelle: "Ilmoita meille, kenen tähden tämä onnettomuus on meille tullut. Mikä on toimesi ja mistä tulet? Mikä on sinun maasi ja mistä kansasta olet?"
9 Hän vastasi heille: "Minä olen hebrealainen, ja minä pelkään Herraa, taivaan Jumalaa, joka on tehnyt meren ja kuivan maan".
10 Niin miehet peljästyivät suuresti ja sanoivat hänelle: "Miksi olet tehnyt näin?" Sillä miehet tiesivät, että hän oli pakenemassa Herran kasvojen edestä; hän oli näet ilmaissut sen heille.
11 He sanoivat hänelle: "Mitä on meidän tehtävä sinulle, että meri tulisi meille tyveneksi?" Sillä meri myrskysi myrskyämistänsä.
12 Hän vastasi heille: "Ottakaa minut ja heittäkää minut mereen, niin meri teille tyventyy. Sillä minä tiedän, että tämä suuri myrsky on tullut teille minun tähteni."
13 Miehet soutivat päästäkseen jälleen kuivalle maalle, mutta eivät voineet, sillä meri myrskysi vastaan myrskyämistänsä.
14 Ja he huusivat Herraa ja sanoivat: "Voi, Herra, älä anna meidän hukkua tämän miehen hengen tähden äläkä lue syyksemme viatonta verta, sillä sinä, Herra, teet, niinkuin sinulle otollista on".
15 Sitten he ottivat Joonan ja heittivät hänet mereen, ja meri asettui raivostansa.
16 Ja miehet pelkäsivät suuresti Herraa, uhrasivat Herralle teurasuhrin ja tekivät lupauksia.
