Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
וַֽיהוָ֗ה
and=YHWH
But here indicates a strong contrast between what Jonah thought would happen and what God did. In your translation, indicate this strong contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “However, Yahweh”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וְהָ֣אֳנִיָּ֔ה חִשְּׁבָ֖ה לְהִשָּׁבֵֽר
and,the,ship threatened to,break_up
Here, the author speaks of the ship as if it were a person who could think. This clause means that the storm was so severe that the ship was close to breaking apart. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “so that the ship was almost breaking apart”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
לְהִשָּׁבֵֽר
to,break_up
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “of breaking apart”
1:4 God’s power over nature is a prominent theme throughout Jonah (see Jon 1:4, 9, 13-16, 17; 2:3, 10; 4:6-7).
