TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:7-8 Use of lots was permitted by God for certain purposes (see Lev 16:8; Josh 18:6; 1 Chr 26:12-16; Acts 1:26); however, divination in general, as practiced in the wider ancient world, was displeasing to the Lord (Deut 18:9-13).
• to see which of them had offended the gods: It was fairly common in the ancient Near East to assume that bad fortune was the result of a god’s taking offense.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵלָ֔י⁠ו

and=they_said to=him/it

Here, they refers back to the group of sailors referred to as “every man” in verse 7; the pronoun him refers to Jonah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could repeat Jonah's name and the term that you are using for the sailors here. Alternate translation: “Then the men who were working on the ship said to Jonah”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַגִּידָ⁠ה־נָּ֣א לָ֔⁠נוּ בַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֛ר לְ⁠מִי־הָ⁠רָעָ֥ה הַ⁠זֹּ֖את לָ֑⁠נוּ

tell, please to/for=us in/on/at/with,account_of_that of,who the,trouble the,this to/for=us

The sailors are asking Jonah to tell them who is responsible for the storm. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Reveal to us who caused this bad storm to happen to us”
