1 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς Ιωνάν τον υιόν του Αμαθί, λέγων,
1 Y FUÉ palabra de Jehová á Jonás, hijo de Amittai, diciendo:
1 Now Yahweh’s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Σηκώθητι, ύπαγε εις Νινευή, την πόλιν την μεγάλην, και κήρυξον κατ' αυτής· διότι η ασέβεια αυτών ανέβη ενώπιόν μου.
2 Levántate, y ve á Nínive, ciudad grande, y pregona contra ella; porque su maldad ha subido delante de mí.
2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.”
3 Και εσηκώθη ο Ιωνάς διά να φύγη εις Θαρσείς από προσώπου Κυρίου και κατέβη εις Ιόππην· και εύρηκε πλοίον πορευόμενον εις Θαρσείς, και έδωκε τον ναύλον αυτού και επέβη εις αυτό, διά να υπάγη μετ' αυτών εις Θαρσείς από προσώπου Κυρίου.
3 Y Jonás se levantó para huir de la presencia de Jehová á Tarsis, y descendió á Joppe; y halló un navío que partía para Tarsis; y pagando su pasaje entró en él, para irse con ellos á Tarsis de delante de Jehová.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
4 Αλλ' ο Κύριος εξήγειρεν άνεμον μέγαν επί την θάλασσαν, και έγεινε κλύδων μέγας εν τη θαλάσση και το πλοίον εκινδύνευε να συντριφθή.
4 Mas Jehová hizo levantar un gran viento en la mar, é hízose una [tan] gran tempestad en la mar, que pensóse se rompería la nave.
4 But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
5 Και εφοβήθησαν οι ναύται και ανεβόησαν έκαστος προς τον θεόν αυτού και έκαμον εκβολήν των εν τω πλοίω σκευών εις την θάλασσαν, διά να ελαφρωθή απ' αυτών· ο δε Ιωνάς κατέβη εις το κοίλωμα του πλοίου και επλαγίασε και εκοιμάτο βαθέως.
5 Y los marineros tuvieron miedo, y cada uno llamaba á su dios: y echaron á la mar los enseres que había en la nave, para descargarla de ellos. Jonás empero se había bajado á los lados del buque, y se había echado á dormir.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.
6 Και επλησίασε προς αυτόν ο πλοίαρχος και είπε προς αυτόν, Τι κοιμάσαι συ; σηκώθητι, επικαλού τον Θεόν σου, ίσως ο Θεός μας ενθυμηθή και δεν χαθώμεν.
6 Y el maestre de la nave se llegó á él, y le dijo: ¿Qué tienes, dormilón? Levántate, y clama á tu Dios; quizá él tendrá compasión de nosotros, y no pereceremos.
6 So the ship master came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won’t perish.”
7 Και είπον έκαστος προς τον πλησίον αυτού, Έλθετε και ας ρίψωμεν κλήρους, διά να γνωρίσωμεν τίνος ένεκεν το κακόν τούτο είναι εφ' ημάς. Και έρριψαν κλήρους και έπεσεν ο κλήρος επί τον Ιωνάν.
7 Y dijeron cada uno á su compañero: Venid, y echemos suertes, para saber por quién nos ha venido este mal. Y echaron suertes, y la suerte cayó sobre Jonás.
7 They all said to each other, “Come! Let’s cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
8 Τότε είπον προς αυτόν, Ειπέ τώρα προς ημάς, τίνος ένεκεν το κακόν τούτο ήλθεν εφ' ημάς; Τι είναι το έργον σου; και πόθεν έρχεσαι; τις ο τόπος σου; και εκ τίνος λαού είσαι;
8 Entonces le dijeron ellos: Decláranos ahora por qué nos ha venido este mal. ¿Qué oficio tienes, y de dónde vienes? ¿cuál es tu tierra, y de qué pueblo eres?
8 Then they asked him, “Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?”
9 Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς, Εγώ είμαι Εβραίος· και σέβομαι Κύριον τον Θεόν του ουρανού, όστις εποίησε την θαλάσσαν και την ξηράν.
9 Y él les respondió: Hebreo soy, y temo á Jehová, Dios de los cielos, que hizo la mar y la tierra.
9 He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.”
10 Τότε εφοβήθησαν οι άνθρωποι φόβον μέγαν και είπον προς αυτόν, Τι είναι τούτο, το οποίον έκαμες; διότι εγνώρισαν οι άνθρωποι, ότι έφευγεν από προσώπου Κυρίου, επειδή είχεν αναγγείλει τούτο προς αυτούς.
10 Y aquellos hombres temieron sobremanera, y dijéronle: ¿Por qué has hecho esto? Porque ellos entendieron que huía de delante de Jehová, porque se lo había declarado.
10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “What have you done?” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.
11 Και είπον προς αυτόν, Τι να σε κάμωμεν, διά να ησυχάση η θάλασσα αφ' ημών; διότι η θάλασσα εκλυδωνίζετο επί το μάλλον.
11 Y dijéronle: ¿Qué te haremos, para que la mar se nos quiete? porque la mar iba [á más], y se embravecía.
11 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?” For the sea grew more and more stormy.
12 Και είπε προς αυτούς, Σηκώσατέ με και ρίψατέ με εις την θάλασσαν, και η θάλασσα θέλει ησυχάσει αφ' υμών· διότι εγώ γνωρίζω, ότι εξ αιτίας εμού έγεινεν ο μέγας ούτος κλύδων εφ' υμάς.
12 El les respondió: Tomadme, y echadme á la mar, y la mar se os quietará: porque yo sé que por mí ha venido esta grande tempestad sobre vosotros.
12 He said to them, “Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you.”
13 Οι άνθρωποι όμως εκωπηλάτουν δυνατά διά να επιστρέψωσι προς την ξηράν· αλλά δεν εδύναντο, διότι η θάλασσα εκλυδωνίζετο επί το μάλλον κατ' αυτών.
13 Y aquellos hombres trabajaron por tornar la nave á tierra; mas no pudieron, porque la mar iba [á más], y se embravecía sobre ellos.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them.
14 Όθεν ανεβόησαν προς τον Κύριον και είπον, Δεόμεθα, Κύριε, δεόμεθα, ας μη χαθώμεν διά την ζωήν του ανθρώπου τούτου και μη επιβάλης εφ' ημάς αίμα αθώον· διότι συ, Κύριε, έκαμες ως ήθελες.
14 Entonces clamaron á Jehová, y dijeron: Rogámoste ahora, Jehová, que no perezcamos nosotros por la vida de aqueste hombre, ni pongas sobre nosotros la sangre inocente: porque tú, Jehová, has hecho como has querido.
14 Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, “We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you.”
15 Και εσήκωσαν τον Ιωνάν και έρριψαν αυτόν εις την θάλασσαν και η θάλασσα εστάθη από του θυμού αυτής.
15 Y tomaron á Jonás, y echáronlo á la mar; y la mar se quietó de su furia.
15 So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
16 Τότε οι άνθρωποι εφοβήθησαν τον Κύριον φόβον μέγαν και προσέφεραν θυσίαν εις τον Κύριον και έκαμον ευχάς.
16 Y temieron aquellos hombres á Jehová con gran temor; y ofrecieron sacrificio á Jehová, y prometieron votos.
16 Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh and made vows.
17 Και διέταξε Κύριος μέγα κήτος να καταπίη τον Ιωνάν. Και ήτο ο Ιωνάς εν τη κοιλία του κήτους τρεις ημέρας και τρεις νύκτας.
17 Not in this translation
17 Yahweh prepared a huge fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

What the Fathers said

How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… the sign of Jonah, for those who held the same opinion as Jonah regarding the Lord, and who confessed, and said, "I am a servant of the Lord, and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land." [This was done] that man, receiving an unhoped-for salvation from God, might rise from the …
But the one says, Take me, and cast me into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you; the other, Himself rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
