Jonas 1 - Bíblia Online

Herrens ord kom til Jonas, Amittais sønn, og det lød så: 
Stå op, gå til Ninive, den store stad, og tal for den! For deres ondskap er steget op og er kommet for mitt åsyn. 
Men Jonas stod op og vilde fly til Tarsis, bort fra Herrens åsyn; og han drog ned til Joppe og fant der et skib som skulde gå til Tarsis, og han betalte frakten og gikk ombord for å fare med dem til Tarsis, bort fra Herrens åsyn. 
Men Herren sendte en sterk vind ut over havet, og det blev en stor storm på havet, og skibet var i ferd med å knuses. 
Da blev skibsfolkene redde og ropte hver til sin gud, og de kastet de ting som var i skibet, ut i havet for å lette skibet. Men Jonas var steget ned i skibets nederste rum og lå i fast søvn. 
Skibsføreren gikk da til ham og sa: Hvorledes kan du sove så fast? Stå op og rop til din gud! Kanskje den gud vil tenke på råd for oss, så vi ikke går under. 
Og de sa til hverandre: Kom, la oss kaste lodd, så vi kan få vite hvem som er skyld i at denne ulykke har hendt oss! Så kastet de lodd, og loddet falt på Jonas. 
Da sa de til ham: Si oss hvem som er skyld i at denne ulykke har hendt oss! Hvad er ditt ærend, og hvor kommer du fra? Hvad land er du fra, og hvad folk hører du til? 
Han svarte: Jeg er en hebreer, og jeg frykter Herren, himmelens Gud, ham som har gjort havet og det tørre land. 
Da blev mennene grepet av en stor frykt, og de sa til ham: Hvorfor har du gjort dette? For de visste at han flydde fra Herrens åsyn; det hadde han fortalt dem. 
Og de sa til ham: Hvad skal vi gjøre med dig, forat havet kan legge sig for oss? For havet blev mere og mere oprørt. 
Han svarte: Ta mig og kast mig i havet! Så vil havet legge sig for eder; for jeg vet at det er for min skyld denne store storm er kommet over eder. 
Mennene prøvde nu å ro tilbake til land, men de maktet det ikke; for sjøen slo sterkere og sterkere mot dem. 
Da ropte de til Herren og sa: Å Herre, la oss ikke gå under fordi denne mann skal dø, og la ikke uskyldig blod komme over oss! For du, Herre, har gjort som du vilde. 
Så tok de Jonas og kastet ham i havet; da holdt havet op å rase. 
Og mennene blev grepet av stor frykt for Herren, og de ofret takkoffer til Herren og gjorde løfter. 

And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying, 
Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me. 
And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord. 
And the Lord sent out a great wind on to the sea and there was a violent storm in the sea, so that the ship seemed in danger of being broken. 
Then the sailors were full of fear, every man crying to his god; and the goods in the ship were dropped out into the sea to make the weight less. But Jonah had gone down into the inmost part of the ship where he was stretched out in a deep sleep. 
And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction. 
And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man. 
Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people? 
And he said to them, I am a Hebrew, a worshipper of the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land. 
And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them. 
And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher. 
And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you. 
And the men were working hard to get back to the land, but they were not able to do so: for the sea got rougher and rougher against them. 
So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you. 
So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry. 
Then great was the men's fear of the Lord; and they made an offering to the Lord and took oaths to him.
