OET (OET-LV) And_they_rowed the_men to_bring_back to the_dry_ground and_not they_were_able if/because the_sea was_going and_storming on_them.

OET (OET-RV) However, the men tried to row but they were not able to return to the land because the sea was very rough and getting worse.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:1–17: The LORD told Jonah to take a message to the people of Nineveh but Jonah disobeyed

This section tells about the LORD’s command to Jonah to preach a message of judgment and destruction to the people of Nineveh, the capital city of Assyria. Jonah, however, disobeyed the LORD and tried to flee from him; he got on a ship heading for Tarshish, a city in the opposite direction.

1:13a

Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land,

Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land: At first the sailors did not want to throw Jonah overboard. Instead they tried to save themselves and Jonah by rowing back to land. But this was not possible because the storm and the sea grew more violent.

rowed hard to get back: The Hebrew verb used here literally means “to dig” and gives the impression of effort in their rowing. BSB expresses this by rowed hard. Here is another way to express the effort:

with all their might (GNT)

If you have no word in your language for “row,” a possibility might be “worked hard to make the boat get back to land.”

1:13b

but they could not,

1:13c

for the sea was raging against them more and more.

for the sea was raging against them more and more: This is the same Hebrew idiom as in 1:11a. See the note there.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּחְתְּר֣וּ הָ⁠אֲנָשִׁ֗ים

and,they_rowed the,men

They did not do as Jonah suggested. The implication is that the men did not want to throw Jonah into the sea. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [The men did want want to throw Jonah into the sea, so they rowed hard]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַ⁠יָּ֔ם הוֹלֵ֥ךְ וְ⁠סֹעֵ֖ר

the=sea grew and,storming

See how you translated this idiom in [1:11](../01/11.md). Alternate translation: [the storm became worse, and even taller waves broke]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:13-14 Instead, the sailors rowed even harder: It was now clear that Jonah was the one who had offended the Lord, but the sailors were apparently concerned that the Lord would be more offended if they killed one of his prophets.

OET (OET-LV) And_they_rowed the_men to_bring_back to the_dry_ground and_not they_were_able if/because the_sea was_going and_storming on_them.

OET (OET-RV) However, the men tried to row but they were not able to return to the land because the sea was very rough and getting worse.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
