Jonas 1
Segond 21
Mission et fuite de Jonas
1 La parole de l'Eternel fut adressée à Jonas, fils d'Amitthaï: 2 «Lève-toi, va à Ninive[a], la grande ville, et crie contre elle, car sa méchanceté est montée jusqu'à moi.»
3 Jonas se leva pour s'enfuir à Tarsis[b], loin de la présence de l'Eternel. Il descendit à Jaffa, et il trouva un bateau qui allait à Tarsis. Il paya le prix du transport et s'embarqua pour aller avec les passagers à Tarsis, loin de la présence de l'Eternel.
4 L'Eternel fit souffler sur la mer un vent impétueux, et il s'éleva sur la mer une si grande tempête que le bateau menaçait de faire naufrage. 5 Les marins eurent peur; ils implorèrent chacun leur dieu, et ils jetèrent dans la mer les objets qui étaient sur le bateau afin de l'alléger. Jonas était descendu au fond du bateau, s’était couché et dormait profondément. 6 Le capitaine s'approcha de lui et lui dit: «Pourquoi dors-tu? Lève-toi, fais appel à ton Dieu! Peut-être voudra-t-il penser à nous et nous ne mourrons pas.» 7 Puis ils se dirent l'un à l'autre: «Venez, tirons au sort pour savoir qui nous attire ce malheur.» Ils tirèrent au sort, et le sort tomba sur Jonas.
8 Alors ils lui dirent: «Dis-nous qui nous attire ce malheur. Quelle est ton occupation et d'où viens-tu? Quel est ton pays et de quel peuple es-tu?» 9 Il leur répondit: «Je suis hébreu et je crains l'Eternel, le Dieu du ciel, qui a fait la mer et la terre.» 10 Ces hommes furent saisis d’une grande crainte et lui dirent: «Pourquoi as-tu fait cela?» Ils surent en effet qu'il fuyait loin de la présence de l'Eternel parce qu'il le leur déclara. 11 Ils lui dirent: «Que te ferons-nous pour que la mer se calme envers nous?» En effet, la mer était de plus en plus déchaînée. 12 Il leur répondit: «Prenez-moi et jetez-moi dans la mer, et la mer se calmera envers vous, car je sais que c'est moi qui attire sur vous cette grande tempête.»
13 Ces hommes ramèrent pour gagner la terre ferme, mais ils ne purent pas y arriver parce que la mer était toujours plus déchaînée contre eux. 14 Alors ils s’adressèrent à l'Eternel et dirent: «Eternel, ne nous fais pas mourir à cause de la vie de cet homme et ne nous charge pas du sang innocent! En effet toi, Eternel, tu fais ce que tu veux.» 15 Puis ils prirent Jonas et le jetèrent dans la mer. Et la fureur de la mer s'apaisa. 16 Ces hommes furent saisis d'une grande crainte de l'Eternel. Ils offrirent un sacrifice à l'Eternel et firent des vœux.
Jonás 1
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Desobediencia de Jonás
1 La palabra del Señor vino a Jonás(A), hijo de Amitai: 2 «Levántate, ve a Nínive, la gran ciudad(B), y proclama contra ella(C), porque su maldad ha subido hasta Mí(D)». 3 Jonás se levantó, pero para huir a Tarsis, lejos de la presencia del Señor. Y descendiendo a Jope(E), encontró un barco que iba a Tarsis, pagó el pasaje y entró en él para ir con ellos a Tarsis(F), lejos de la presencia del Señor(G).
4 Pero el Señor desató sobre el mar un fuerte viento, y hubo una tempestad tan grande en el mar(H) que el barco estuvo a punto de romperse. 5 Los marineros tuvieron miedo y cada uno clamaba a su dios(I); y arrojaron al mar la carga que estaba en el barco para aligerarlo(J). Pero Jonás había bajado a la bodega del barco, se había acostado y dormía profundamente. 6 El capitán se le acercó y le dijo: «¿Cómo es que estás durmiendo? ¡Levántate, invoca a tu Dios(K)! Quizás tu Dios piense en nosotros y no pereceremos(L)». 7 Y cada uno dijo a su compañero: «Vengan, echemos suertes(M) para saber por causa de quién nos ha venido esta calamidad». Y echaron suertes, y cayó la suerte sobre Jonás(N). 8 Entonces le dijeron: «Decláranos ahora(O) por causa de quién nos ha venido esta calamidad. ¿Qué oficio tienes(P), y de dónde vienes? ¿Cuál es tu tierra, y de qué pueblo eres?». 9 Él les respondió: «Soy hebreo(Q), y temo al Señor(R) Dios del cielo(S), que hizo el mar y la tierra(T)».
10 Los hombres se atemorizaron en gran manera y le dijeron: «¿Qué es esto que has hecho?». Porque ellos sabían que él huía de la presencia del Señor(U), por lo que él les había declarado. 11 Ellos le preguntaron: «¿Qué haremos contigo para que el mar se calme alrededor nuestro?». Pues el mar se embravecía más y más. 12 Y él les respondió: «Tómenme y láncenme al mar, y el mar se calmará alrededor de ustedes, pues yo sé que por mi causa ha venido esta gran tempestad sobre ustedes(V)». 13 Los hombres se pusieron a remar con afán para volver a tierra firme, pero no pudieron, porque el mar seguía embraveciéndose contra ellos. 14 Entonces invocaron al Señor(W), y dijeron: «Te rogamos, oh Señor, no permitas que perezcamos ahora por causa de la vida de este hombre, ni pongas sobre nosotros sangre inocente; porque Tú, Señor, has hecho como has deseado(X)».
15 Tomaron, pues, a Jonás y lo lanzaron al mar; y el mar cesó en su furia(Y). 16 Y aquellos hombres temieron en gran manera al Señor; ofrecieron un sacrificio al Señor y le hicieron votos(Z).
17 [a]Y el Señor dispuso un gran pez que se tragara a Jonás; y Jonás estuvo en el vientre del pez tres días y tres noches(AA).

Jonah 1
New International Version
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 1
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.
