Jonah 1 📜 📕 ↷
Jonah Flees from the LORD
1 AND the word of our Lord was made to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying:📜💬📚
2 Arise, and go into Ninive the great city, and preach in it: because the malice thereof is ascended before me.📜💬📚
3 And Jonas arose to fly into Tharsis from the face of our Lord, and he went down into Joppe, and found a ship going into Tharsis: and he gave the fare thereof, and went down into it, that he might go with them into Tharsis from the face of our Lord.📜💬📚
Great Storm
4 But our Lord sent a great wind into the sea: and a great tempest was made in the sea, and the ship was in danger to be broken.📜💬📚
5 And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried to their god: & they threw the vessels, that were in the ship, into the sea, that it might be lightened of them: & Jonas went down into the inner part of the ship, and slept a deep sleep.📜💬📚
6 And the governer came to him & said to him: Why art thou oppressed with sleep? Rise, invocate thy God, if perhaps God will think of us, and we perish not.📜💬📚
7 And every one said to his fellow: Come, and let us cast lots, and know why this evil is to us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.📜💬📚
8 And they said to him: Tell us for whose cause this evil is to us, what is thy work? What is thy country? & whither goest thou? Or of what people art thou?📜💬📚
9 And he said to them: I am an Hebrew, & the Lord God of heaven I fear, which made the sea and the dry land.📜💬📚
10 And the men feared with greater fear, and they said to him: Why hast thou done this? (For the men knew that he fled from the face of our Lord: because he had told them.)📜💬📚
Jonah Cast into the Sea
11 And they said to him: What shall we do to thee, and the sea shall cease from us? Because the sea went, and swelled.📜💬📚
12 And he said to them: Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall cease from you: for I know that for me this great tempest is upon you.📜💬📚
13 And the men rowed, to return to the land, and they were not able: because the sea went and swelled upon them.📜💬📚
14 And they cried to our Lord, and said: We beseech thee o Lord, let us not perish in the life of this man, and give not upon us innocent blood: because thou o Lord, hast done as thou wouldest.📜💬📚
15 And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea: & the sea ceased from his rage.📜💬📚
16 And the men feared our Lord with great fear, and immolated hosts to our Lord, and vowed vows.📜💬📚
