: Jonah 1: 1 . Now the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto Jonah <3124 Yonah > the son <1121 ben > of Amittai <0573 >Amittay > , saying <0559 >amar > , : 2 Arise <6965 quwm > , go <3212 yalak > to Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > , that great <1419 gadowl > city <5892 <iyr > , and cry <7121 qara> > against <5921 <al > it ; for their wickedness <7451 ra< > is come <5927 <alah > up before < 6440 paniym > me . : 3 But Jonah <3124 Yonah > rose <6965 quwm > up to flee <1272 barach > unto Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh > from the presence <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and went < 3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to Joppa <3305 Yapho > ; and he found <4672 matsa> > a ship <0591 >oniyah > going <0935 bow> > to Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh > : so he paid <5414 nathan > the fare <7939 sakar > thereof , and went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > into it , to go <0935 bow> > with them unto Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh > from the presence <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . : 4 . But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sent <2904 tuwl > out a great <1419 gadowl > wind <7307 ruwach > into < 0413 >el > the sea <3220 yam > , and there was a mighty <1419 gadowl > tempest <5591 ca<ar > in the sea <3220 yam > , so that the ship <0591 >oniyah > was like <2803 chashab > to be broken < 7665 shabar > . : 5 Then the mariners <4419 mallach > were afraid <3372 yare> > , and cried <2199 za<aq > every man unto his god < 0430 >elohiym > , and cast <2904 tuwl > forth <2904 tuwl > the wares <3627 k@liy > that [ were ] in the ship <0591 >oniyah > into <0413 >el > the sea <3220 yam > , to lighten <7043 qalal > [ it ] of them . But Jonah <3124 Yonah > was gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > into <0413 >el > the sides <3411 y@rekah > of the ship <5600 c@phiynah > ; and he lay <7901 shakab > , and was fast asleep <7290 radam > . : 6 So the shipmaster came <7126 qarab > to him , and said <0559 >amar > unto him , What <4100 mah > meanest thou , O sleeper <7290 radam > ? arise <6965 quwm > , call <7121 qara> > upon thy God <0430 >elohiym > , if <0194 > uwlay > so be that God <0430 >elohiym > will think <6245 <ashath > upon us , that we perish <6> not . : 7 And they said <0559 >amar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his fellow <7453 rea< > , Come < 3212 yalak > , and let us cast <5307 naphal > lots <1486 gowral > , that we may know <3045 yada< > for whose <4310 miy > cause < 7945 shel > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > [ is ] upon us . So they cast <5307 naphal > lots <1486 gowral > , and the lot < 1486 gowral > fell <5307 naphal > upon Jonah <3124 Yonah > . : 8 Then said <0559 >amar > they unto him , Tell < 5046 nagad > us , we pray <4994 na> > thee , for whose cause < 0834 >aher > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > [ is ] upon us ; What <4100 mah > [ is ] thine occupation <4399 m@la>kah > ? and whence <0370 >aiyn > comest <0935 bow> > thou ? what <4100 mah > [ is ] thy country <0776 >erets > ? and of what people <5971 <am > [ art ] thou ? : 9 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them , I [ am ] an Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy > ; and I fear <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , the God <0430 >elohiym > of heaven < 8064 shamayim > , which <0834 >aher > hath made <6213 <asah > the sea <3220 yam > and the dry <3004 yabbashah > [ land ] . : 10 Then were the men <0582 >enowsh > exceedingly < 1419 gadowl > afraid <3372 yare> > , and said <0559 >amar > unto him , Why <4100 mah > hast thou done <6213 <asah > this < 2063 zo>th > ? For the men <0582 >enowsh > knew <3045 yada< > that he fled <1272 barach > from the presence <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , because <3588 kiy > he had told <5046 nagad > them . : 11 . Then said <0559 >amar > they unto him , What <4100 mah > shall we do <6213 <asah > unto thee , that the sea <3220 yam > may be calm <8367 shathaq > unto us ? for the sea < 3220 yam > wrought <1980 halak > , and was tempestuous <5490 cowph > . : 12 And he said <0559 >amar > unto them , Take < 5375 nasa> > me up , and cast <2904 tuwl > me forth <2904 tuwl > into <0413 >el > the sea <3220 yam > ; so shall the sea < 3220 yam > be calm <8367 shathaq > unto you : for I know <3045 yada< > that for my sake <7945 shel > this great <1419 gadowl > tempest <5591 ca<ar > [ is ] upon you . : 13 Nevertheless the men <0582 >enowsh > rowed < 2864 chathar > hard to bring <7725 shuwb > [ it ] to the land <3004 yabbashah > ; but they could <3201 yakol > not : for the sea < 3220 yam > wrought <1980 halak > , and was tempestuous <5490 cowph > against <5921 <al > them . : 14 Wherefore they cried <7121 qara> > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , We beseech < 0577 >anna> > thee , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , we beseech <0577 > anna> > thee , let us not perish <6> for this <2088 zeh > man s <0376 >iysh > life <5315 nephesh > , and lay <5414 nathan > not upon us innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam > : for thou , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , hast done <6213 <asah > as it pleased <2654 chaphets > thee . : 15 So they took up Jonah <3124 Yonah > , and cast < 2904 tuwl > him forth <2904 tuwl > into <0413 >el > the sea <3220 yam > : and the sea <3220 yam > ceased <5975 <amad > from her raging <2197 za<aph > . : 16 Then the men <0582 >enowsh > feared <3372 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > exceedingly <1419 gadowl > , and offered <2076 zabach > a sacrifice <2077 zebach > unto the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah > , and made vows <5088 neder > . : 17 Now the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had prepared <4487 manah > a great <1419 gadowl > fish <1709 dag > to swallow < 1104 bala< > up Jonah <3124 Yonah > . And Jonah <3124 Yonah > was in the belly <4578 me<ah > of the fish <1709 dag > three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117 yowm > and three <7969 shalowsh > nights <3915 layil > . : Jonah 2 : 1 . Then Jonah <3124 Yonah > prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 >elohiym > out of the fish s <1710 dagah > belly <4578 me<ah > , : 2 And said <0559 >amar > , I cried <7121 qara> > by reason of mine affliction <6869 tsarah > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and he heard <6030 <anah > me ; out of the belly < 0990 beten > of hell <7585 sh@>owl > cried <7768 shava< > I , [ and ] thou heardest <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl > . : 3 For thou hadst cast <7993 shalak > me into the deep <4688 m@tsowlah > , in the midst <3824 lebab > of the seas <3220 yam > ; and the floods <5104 nahar > compassed <5437 cabab > me about : all <3605 kol > thy billows <4867 mishbar > and thy waves <1530 gal > passed <5674 <abar > over < 5674 <abar > me . : 4 Then I said <0559 >amar > , I am cast <1644 garash > out of thy sight <5869 <ayin > ; yet <0389 >ak > I will look <5027 nabat > again <3254 yacaph > toward <0413 >el > thy holy <6944 qodesh > temple <1964 heykal > . : 5 The waters <4325 mayim > compassed <0661 >aphaph > me about , [ even ] to the soul <5315 nephesh > : the depth < 8415 t@howm > closed <5437 cabab > me round <5437 cabab > about , the weeds <5488 cuwph > were wrapped <2280 chabash > about my head <7218 ro>sh > . : 6 I went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the bottoms of the mountains <2022 har > ; the earth <0776 >erets > with her bars <1280 b@riyach > [ was ] about <1157 b@<ad > me for ever <5769 <owlam > : yet hast thou brought <5927 <alah > up my life <2416 chay > from corruption <7845 shachath > , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > . : 7 When my soul <5315 nephesh > fainted <5848 < ataph > within <5921 <al > me I remembered <2142 zakar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and my prayer <8605 t@phillah > came <0935 bow> > in unto thee , into <0413 >el > thine holy <6944 qodesh > temple <1964 heykal > . : 8 They that observe <8104 shamar > lying <7723 shav> > vanities <1892 hebel > forsake <5800 <azab > their own mercy <2617 checed > . : 9 But I will sacrifice <2076 zabach > unto thee with the voice <6963 qowl > of thanksgiving <8426 towdah > ; I will pay <7999 shalam > [ that ] that I have vowed <5087 nadar > . Salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > [ is ] of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah > . : 10 . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <0559 > amar > unto the fish <1709 dag > , and it vomited <6958 qow> > out Jonah <3124 Yonah > upon the dry <3004 yabbashah > [ land ] . : Jonah 3 : 1 . And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto Jonah <3124 Yonah > the second <8145 sheniy > time , saying <0559 >amar > , : 2 Arise <6965 quwm > , go <3312 Y@phunneh > unto Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > , that great <1419 gadowl > city <5892 <iyr > , and preach <7121 qara> > unto it the preaching < 7150 q@riy>ah > that I bid <1696 dabar > thee . : 3 So Jonah <3124 Yonah > arose <6965 quwm > , and went <3212 yalak > unto Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > , according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . Now Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > was an exceeding <0430 >elohiym > great <1419 gadowl > city <5892 <iyr > of three <7969 shalowsh > days <3117 yowm > journey <4109 mahalak > . : 4 And Jonah <3124 Yonah > began <2490 chalal > to enter <0935 bow> > into the city <5892 <iyr > a day s <3117 yowm > journey <4109 mahalak > , and he cried <7121 qara> > , and said <0559 >amar > , Yet <5750 <owd > forty <0705 > arba<iym > days <3117 yowm > , and Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > shall be overthrown <2015 haphak > . : 5 . So the people <0582 >enowsh > of Nineveh < 5210 Niyn@veh > believed <0539 >aman > God <0430 >elohiym > , and proclaimed <7121 qara> > a fast <6685 tsowm > , and put < 3847 labash > on sackcloth <8242 saq > , from the greatest <1419 gadowl > of them even to the least <6996 qatan > of them . : 6 For word <1697 dabar > came <5060 naga< > unto the king <4428 melek > of Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > , and he arose <6965 quwm > from his throne <3678 kicce> > , and he laid <5674 <abar > his robe <0155 >addereth > from him , and covered <3680 kacah > [ him ] with sackcloth <8242 saq > , and sat < 3427 yashab > in ashes <0665 >epher > . : 7 And he caused [ it ] to be proclaimed <2199 za<aq > and published <0559 >amar > through Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > by the decree <2940 ta<am > of the king <4428 melek > and his nobles <1419 gadowl > , saying <0559 >amar > , Let neither <0369 >ayin > man <0120 >adam > nor beast <0929 b@hemah > , herd <1241 baqar > nor flock <6629 tso>n > , taste < 2938 ta<am > any <3792 k@thab > thing : let them not feed <7462 ra<ah > , nor <0408 >al > drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > : : 8 But let man <0120 >adam > and beast <0929 b@hemah > be covered <3680 kacah > with sackcloth <8242 saq > , and cry <7121 qara> > mightily <2393 chezqah > unto God <0430 >elohiym > : yea , let them turn <7725 shuwb > every <0376 > iysh > one <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451 ra< > way < 1870 derek > , and from the violence <2555 chamac > that [ is ] in their hands <3709 kaph > . : 9 Who <4310 miy > can tell <3045 yada< > [ if ] God <0430 >elohiym > will turn <7725 shuwb > and repent < 5162 nacham > , and turn <7725 shuwb > away from his fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > , that we perish <6> not ? : 10 And God <0430 >elohiym > saw <7200 ra>ah > their works <4639 ma<aseh > , that they turned <7725 shuwb > from their evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek > ; and God < 0430 >elohiym > repented <5162 nacham > of the evil <7451 ra< > , that he had said <1696 dabar > that he would do <6213 <asah > unto them ; and he did <6213 <asah > [ it ] not . : Jonah 4 : 1 . But it displeased Jonah <3124 Yonah > exceedingly <1419 gadowl > , and he was very angry <2734 charah > . : 2 And he prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , I pray <0577 >anna> > thee , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ was ] not this <2088 zeh > my saying |
