The pronoun they refers to the sailors. Alternate translation: [Then the sailors said to Jonah] or [Then the men on the ship said to Jonah]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠יִשְׁתֹּ֥ק הַ⁠יָּ֖ם מֵֽ⁠עָלֵ֑י⁠נוּ

and,quiet_down the=sea from,against,us

Here, calm down from upon us is an idiom that means “calm down for our benefit.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [so that the sea will calm down for us] or [in order to make the sea become calm]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַ⁠יָּ֖ם הוֹלֵ֥ךְ וְ⁠סֹעֵֽר

the=sea the=sea growing and,tempestuous

Here, going forward and storming is an idiom that means that the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.
