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.

1:15a

At this, they picked up Jonah and cast him into the sea,

Then they took hold of Jonah and threw him out of the ship into the sea.

they picked up Jonah and cast him into the sea: The verbs translated picked up and cast are the same verbs which the BSB translated “pick up” and “cast” in 1:12a. See the note there.

1:15b

and the raging sea grew calm.

Then the storm stopped and the raging sea became calm at once.
The big waves in the sea became small again.

and the raging sea grew calm: This is a dramatic point in the story. The sailors’ reaction in 1:16 shows this. The GNT uses a phrase to indicate this:

at once (GNT)

raging: As the English word raging used by the BSB suggests, the Hebrew word is connected with “anger.” You will need to check whether or not you can use a similar image in your language.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠יַּעֲמֹ֥ד הַ⁠יָּ֖ם מִ⁠זַּעְפּֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_picked_up DOM Yōnāh/(Jonah) and,they,hurled_him to/towards the=sea and,it_stopped the=sea from,storming,its )

Here, the sea is spoken of as if it were a person who could rage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the sea stopped moving violently]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

וַ⁠יַּעֲמֹ֥ד הַ⁠יָּ֖ם מִ⁠זַּעְפּֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_picked_up DOM Yōnāh/(Jonah) and,they,hurled_him to/towards the=sea and,it_stopped the=sea from,storming,its )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative words ceased and raging. Alternate translation: [and the sea became still]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
