Jonah 1:17 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 The LORD gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai:
2 "Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its people are."
3 But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish.
4 But the LORD hurled a powerful wind over the sea, causing a violent storm that threatened to break the ship apart.
5 Fearing for their lives, the desperate sailors shouted to their gods for help and threw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship.But all this time Jonah was sound asleep down in the hold.
6 So the captain went down after him. "How can you sleep at a time like this?" he shouted. "Get up and pray to your god! Maybe he will pay attention to us and spare our lives."
7 Then the crew cast lots to see which of them had offended the gods and caused the terrible storm. When they did this, the lots identified Jonah as the culprit.
8 "Why has this awful storm come down on us?" they demanded. "Who are you? What is your line of work? What country are you from? What is your nationality?"
9 Jonah answered, "I am a Hebrew, and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land."
10 The sailors were terrified when they heard this, for he had already told them he was running away from the LORD. "Oh, why did you do it?" they groaned.
11 And since the storm was getting worse all the time, they asked him, "What should we do to you to stop this storm?"
12 "Throw me into the sea," Jonah said, "and it will become calm again. I know that this terrible storm is all my fault."
13 Instead, the sailors rowed even harder to get the ship to the land. But the stormy sea was too violent for them, and they couldn't make it.
14 Then they cried out to the LORD, Jonah's God. "O LORD," they pleaded, "don't make us die for this man's sin. And don't hold us responsible for his death. O LORD, you have sent this storm upon him for your own good reasons."
15 Then the sailors picked Jonah up and threw him into the raging sea, and the storm stopped at once!
16 The sailors were awestruck by the LORD's great power, and they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him.
17 Now the LORD had arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.
1 Now the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP Jonah H3124 EMS the son H1121 CMS of Amittai H573 EMS , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 Arise H6965 VQI2MS , go H1980 VQI2MS to H413 PREP Nineveh H5210 LFS , that great H1419 D-AFS city H5892 D-GFS , and cry H7121 W-VQI2MS against H5921 PREP-3FS it ; for H3588 CONJ their wickedness H7451 CFS-3MP is come up H5927 VQQ3FS before H6440 L-CMP-1MS me .
3 But Jonah H3124 EMS rose up H6965 W-VQY3MS to flee H1272 L-VQFC unto Tarshish H8659 LFS-3FS from the presence H6440 ML-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , and went down H3381 W-VQY3MS to Joppa H3305 LFS ; and he found H4672 W-VQY3MS a ship H591 NFS going H935 VQQ3FS to Tarshish H8659 LFS : so he paid H5414 W-VQQ3MS the fare H7939 CMS-3FS thereof , and went down H3381 W-VQY3MS into it , to go H935 L-VQFC with H5973 PREP-3MP them unto Tarshish H8659 LFS-3FS from the presence H6440 ML-CMP of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
4 But the LORD H3068 W-EDS sent out H2904 VHQ3MS a great H1419 AFS wind H7307 NMS into H413 PREP the sea H3220 D-NMS , and there was H1961 W-VQY3MS a mighty H1419 AMS tempest H5591 NMS in the sea H3220 BD-NMS , so that the ship H591 WD-NFS was like H2803 VPQ3FS to be broken H7665 L-VNFC .
5 Then the mariners H4419 D-NMP were afraid H3372 W-VQY3MP , and cried H2199 W-VQY3MP every man H376 NMS unto H413 PREP his god H430 CMP-3MS , and cast forth W-VHY3MP the wares H3627 D-NMP that H834 RPRO were in the ship H591 BD-NFS into H413 PREP the sea H3220 D-NMS , to lighten H7043 L-VHFC it of M-PREP-3MP them . But Jonah H3124 W-EMS was gone down H3381 VQQ3MS into H413 PREP the sides H3411 CFS of the ship H5600 D-NFS ; and he lay H7901 W-VQY3MS , and was fast asleep H7290 W-VNY3MS .
6 So the shipmaster H7227 AMS came H7126 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP-3MS him , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , What H4100 IPRO meanest thou , O sleeper H7290 VNPMS ? arise H6965 VQI2MS , call H7121 VQI2MP upon H413 PREP thy God H430 CMP-2MS , if so be H194 ADV that God H430 D-NMP will think H6245 VHY3MS upon us , that we perish H6 VQY1MP not H3808 W-NPAR .
7 And they said H559 W-VQY3MP every one H376 NMS to H413 PREP his fellow H7453 NMS-3MS , Come H1980 VQI2MP , and let us cast H5307 W-VHI1CP lots H1486 NMP , that we may know H3045 W-VQI1CP for whose cause H7945 B-IPRO-I this H2063 D-DFS evil H7451 D-AFS is upon us . So they cast H5307 W-VHY3MP lots H1486 NMP , and the lot H1486 D-NMS fell H5307 W-VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP Jonah H3124 EMS .
8 Then said H559 W-VQY3MP they unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Tell H5046 D-VHI2MS-3FS us , we pray thee H4994 IJEC , for whose cause H834 B-RPRO this H2063 D-DFS evil H7451 D-AFS is upon us ; What H4100 IPRO is thine occupation H4399 CFS-2MS ? and whence H370 WM-ADV comest H935 VQY2MS thou ? what H4100 IPRO is thy country H776 NFS-2MS ? and of what H335 W-IPRO people H5971 NMS art thou H859 PPRO-2MS ?
9 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , I H595 PPRO-1MS am a Hebrew H5680 TMS ; and I H589 PPRO-1MS fear H3372 the LORD H3068 EDS , the God H430 CDP of heaven H8064 D-NMD , which H834 RPRO hath made H6213 VQQ3MS the sea H3220 D-NMS and the dry H3004 D-NFS land .
10 Then were the men H376 exceedingly H1419 AFS afraid H3372 W-VQY3MP , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Why H4100 IPRO hast thou done H6213 VQQ2MS this H2063 DPRO-3FS ? For H3588 CONJ the men H376 knew H3045 VQQ3MP that H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS fled H1272 VQPMS from the presence H6440 ML-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , because H3588 CONJ he had told H5046 VHQ3MS them .
11 Then said H559 W-VQY3MP they unto H413 PREP-3MS him , What H4100 IPRO shall we do H6213 VQY1MP unto thee , that the sea H3220 D-NMS may be calm H8367 W-VQY3MS unto H5921 M-PREP-1MP us ? for H3588 CONJ the sea H3220 D-NMS wrought H1980 VQPMS , and was tempestuous H5590 W-VQPMS .
12 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP them , Take me up H5375 VQI2MP-1MS , and cast me forth H2904 W-VHQ3MS-1MS into H413 PREP the sea H3220 D-NMS ; so shall the sea H3220 D-NMS be calm H8367 W-VQY3MS unto H5921 M-PREP-2MP you : for H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS know H3045 VQPMS that H3588 CONJ for my sake H7945 B-PREP-1MS this H2088 D-PMS great H1419 D-AMS tempest H5591 D-NMS is upon H5921 PREP-2MP you .
13 Nevertheless the men H376 rowed H2864 W-VQY3MP hard to bring H7725 L-VHFC it to H413 PREP the land H3004 D-NFS ; but they could H3201 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR : for H3588 CONJ the sea H3220 D-NMS wrought H1980 VQPMS , and was tempestuous H5590 W-VQPMP against H5921 PREP-3MP them .
14 Wherefore they cried H7121 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , and said H559 W-VQY3MP , We beseech thee H4994 IJEC , O LORD H3068 EDS , we beseech thee H577 IJEC , let us not H408 NPAR perish H6 VQI1MP for this H2088 D-PMS man H376 D-NMS \'s life H5315 B-CFS , and lay H5414 VQY2MS not H408 ADV upon H5921 PREP-1MP us innocent H5355 AMS blood H1818 NMS : for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS , O LORD H3068 EDS , hast done H6213 VQQ2MS as H834 K-RPRO it pleased H2654 VQQ2MS thee .
15 So they took up H5375 W-VQY3MP Jonah H3124 EMS , and cast him forth H2904 W-VHY3MP-3MS into H413 PREP the sea H3220 D-NMS : and the sea H3220 D-NMS ceased H5975 W-VQY3MS from her raging H2197 M-VQFC-3MS .
16 Then the men H376 D-NMP feared H3372 W-VQY3MP the LORD H3068 EDS exceedingly H1419 AFS , and offered H2076 W-VQY3MP a sacrifice H2077 NMS unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS , and made H5087 W-VQY3MP vows H5088 NMP .
17 Now the LORD H3068 EDS had prepared H4487 W-VPY3MS a great H1419 AMS fish H1709 NMS to swallow up H1104 L-VQFC Jonah H3124 EMS . And Jonah H3124 EMS was H1961 W-VQY3MS in the belly H4578 B-CMP of the fish H1709 D-NMS three H7969 NFS days H3117 NMP and three H7969 NFS nights H3915 NMP .
