1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah son of Amittai, saying:
2 'Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness hath come up before Me.'
3 And Jonah riseth to flee to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah, and goeth down 'to' Joppa, and findeth a ship going 'to' Tarshish, and he giveth its fare, and goeth down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah.
4 And Jehovah hath cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great tempest in the sea, and the ship hath reckoned to be broken;
5 and the mariners are afraid, and cry each unto his god, and cast the goods that 'are' in the ship into the sea, to make 'it' light of them; and Jonah hath gone down unto the sides of the vessel, and he lieth down, and is fast asleep.
