| 1 | Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying: | Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ionam, filium Amathi, dicens: |
| 2 | Arise, and go to Ninive the great city, and preach in it: for the wickedness thereof is come up before me. | Surge, et vade in Niniven, civitatem grandem, et praedica in ea, quia ascendit malitia eius coram me. |
| 3 | And Jonas rose up to flee into Tharsis from the face of the Lord, and he went down to Joppe, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tharsis from the face of the Lord. | Et surrexit Ionas, ut fugeret in Tharsis a facie Domini, et descendit in Ioppen: et invenit navem euntem in Tharsis, et dedit naulum eius, et descendit in eam ut iret cum eis in Tharsis a facie Domini. |
| 4 | But the Lord sent a great wind into the sea: and a great tempest was raised in the sea, and the ship was in danger to be broken. | Dominus autem misit ventum magnum in mare: et facta est tempestas magna in mari, et navis periclitabatur conteri. |
| 5 | And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried to their god: and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship, into the sea, to lighten it of them: and Jonas went down into the inner part of the ship, and fell into a deep sleep. | Et timuerunt nautae, et clamaverunt viri ad deum suum, et miserunt vasa quae erant in navi, in mare, ut alleviaretur ab eis; et Ionas descendit ad interiora navis, et dormiebat sopore gravi. |
| 6 | And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him: Why art thou fast asleep? rise up, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think of us, that we may not perish. | Et accessit ad eum gubernator, et dixit ei: Quid tu sopore deprimeris? surge, invoca Deum tuum, si forte recogitet Deus de nobis, et non pereamus. |
| 7 | And they said every one to his fellow: Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know why this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas. | Et dixit vir ad collegam suum: Venite et mittamus sortes, et sciamus quare hoc malum sit nobis. Et miserunt sortes, et cecidit sors super Ionam. |
| 8 | And they said to him: Tell us for what cause this evil is upon us, what is thy business? of what country art thou? and whither goest thou? or of what people art thou? | Et dixerunt ad eum: Indica nobis cuius causa malum istud sit nobis: quod est opus tuum? quae terra tua, et quo vadis? vel ex quo populo es tu? |
| 9 | And he said to them: I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord the God of heaven, who made both the sea and the dry land. | Et dixit ad eos: Hebraeus ego sum, et Dominum Deum caeli ego timeo, qui fecit mare et aridam. |
| 10 | And the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him: Why hast thou done this? (for the men knew that he fled from the face of the Lord: because he had told them.) | Et timuerunt viri timore magno, et dixerunt ad eum: Quid hoc fecisti? cognoverunt enim viri quod a facie Domini fugeret, quia indicaverat eis. |
| 11 | And they said to him: What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled. | Et dixerunt ad eum: Quid faciemus tibi, et cessabit mare a nobis? quia mare ibat, et intumescebat. |
| 12 | And he said to them: Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. | Et dixit ad eos: Tollite me, et mittite in mare, et cessabit mare a vobis: scio enim ego quoniam propter me tempestas haec grandis venit super vos. |
| 13 | And the men rowed hard to return to land, but they were not able: because the sea tossed and swelled upon them. | Et remigabant viri ut reverterentur ad aridam, et non valebant, quia mare ibat, et intumescebat super eos. |
| 14 | And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord, 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. | Et clamaverunt ad Dominum, et dixerunt: Quaesumus, Domine, ne pereamus in anima viri istius, et ne des super nos sanguinem innocentem: quia tu, Domine, sicut voluisti, fecisti. |
| 15 | And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from raging. | Et tulerunt Ionam, et miserunt in mare: et stetit mare a fervore suo. |
| 16 | And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to the Lord, and made vows. | Et timuerunt viri timore magno Dominum: et immolaverunt hostias Domino, et voverunt vota. |
