Jonah 1

Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς Ιωναν τον υιον του Αμαθι, λεγων,
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
Σηκωθητι, υπαγε εις Νινευη, την πολιν την μεγαλην, και κηρυξον κατ αυτης διοτι η ασεβεια αυτων ανεβη ενωπιον μου.
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.
Και εσηκωθη ο Ιωνας δια να φυγη εις Θαρσεις απο προσωπου Κυριου και κατεβη εις Ιοππην και ευρηκε πλοιον πορευομενον εις Θαρσεις, και εδωκε τον ναυλον αυτου και επεβη εις αυτο, δια να υπαγη μετ αυτων εις Θαρσεις απο προσωπου Κυριου.
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.
Αλλ ο Κυριος εξηγειρεν ανεμον μεγαν επι την θαλασσαν, και εγεινε κλυδων μεγας εν τη θαλασση και το πλοιον εκινδυνευε να συντριφθη.
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.
Και εφοβηθησαν οι ναυται και ανεβοησαν εκαστος προς τον θεον αυτου και εκαμον εκβολην των εν τω πλοιω σκευων εις την θαλασσαν, δια να ελαφρωθη απ αυτων ο δε Ιωνας κατεβη εις το κοιλωμα του πλοιου και επλαγιασε και εκοιματο βαθεως.
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.
Και επλησιασε προς αυτον ο πλοιαρχος και ειπε προς αυτον, Τι κοιμασαι συ; σηκωθητι, επικαλου τον Θεον σου, ισως ο Θεος μας ενθυμηθη και δεν χαθωμεν.
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.
Και ειπον εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου, Ελθετε και ας ιψωμεν κληρους, δια να γνωρισωμεν τινος ενεκεν το κακον τουτο ειναι εφ ημας. Και ερριψαν κληρους και επεσεν ο κληρος επι τον Ιωναν.
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?
Τοτε ειπον προς αυτον, Ειπε τωρα προς ημας, τινος ενεκεν το κακον τουτο ηλθεν εφ ημας; Τι ειναι το εργον σου; και ποθεν ερχεσαι; τις ο τοπος σου; και εκ τινος λαου εισαι;
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.
Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Εγω ειμαι Εβραιος και σεβομαι Κυριον τον Θεον του ουρανου, οστις εποιησε την θαλασσαν και την ξηραν.
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.
Τοτε εφοβηθησαν οι ανθρωποι φοβον μεγαν και ειπον προς αυτον, Τι ειναι τουτο, το οποιον εκαμες; διοτι εγνωρισαν οι ανθρωποι, οτι εφευγεν απο προσωπου Κυριου, επειδη ειχεν αναγγειλει τουτο προς αυτους.
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.
Και ειπον προς αυτον, Τι να σε καμωμεν, δια να ησυχαση η θαλασσα αφ ημων; διοτι η θαλασσα εκλυδωνιζετο επι το μαλλον.
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.
Και ειπε προς αυτους, Σηκωσατε με και ιψατε με εις την θαλασσαν, και η θαλασσα θελει ησυχασει αφ υμων διοτι εγω γνωριζω, οτι εξ αιτιας εμου εγεινεν ο μεγας ουτος κλυδων εφ υμας.
Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
Οι ανθρωποι ομως εκωπηλατουν δυνατα δια να επιστρεψωσι προς την ξηραν αλλα δεν εδυναντο, διοτι η θαλασσα εκλυδωνιζετο επι το μαλλον κατ αυτων.
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.
Οθεν ανεβοησαν προς τον Κυριον και ειπον, Δεομεθα, Κυριε, δεομεθα, ας μη χαθωμεν δια την ζωην του ανθρωπου τουτου και μη επιβαλης εφ ημας αιμα αθωον διοτι συ, Κυριε, εκαμες ως ηθελες.
So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
Και εσηκωσαν τον Ιωναν και ερριψαν αυτον εις την θαλασσαν και η θαλασσα εσταθη απο του θυμου αυτης.
Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
Τοτε οι ανθρωποι εφοβηθησαν τον Κυριον φοβον μεγαν και προσεφεραν θυσιαν εις τον Κυριον και εκαμον ευχας.
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.
Και διεταξε Κυριος μεγα κητος να καταπιη τον Ιωναν. Και ητο ο Ιωνας εν τη κοιλια του κητους τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας.
