Yonah tries to run from God

Yna 1:1—2:1

1:1 Yonah tries to run from God

1[ref]Now Yahweh said to Yonah the son of Amittai, 2“Go now to the major city of Nineveh, and speak out against it because I’ve noticed how evil they are.”

3But Yonah decided to run away from Yahweh so he went down to Yoppa and found a ship about to go to Tarshish. He paid the fare and went aboard to go with them to Tarshish to get away from Yahweh.

4However Yahweh caused a strong wind on the sea and it became a such big storm that they all thought the ship would disintegrate. 5The sailors were afraid and they each cried to their own gods for help, and they threw the cargo overboard to make the ship lighter. But Yonah had gone down into the hold where he had laid down and fallen fast asleep.

6So the ship’s captain approached him and said, “Why are you sleeping? Come on, pray to your God and perhaps he will take notice of us so we won’t die.”

7Then the sailors said to each other, “Let’s draw straws to find out whose fault it is that we are in this predicament.” So they drew straws and Yonah was indicated. 8So they said to him, “Hey, tell us why this disaster is happening to us. What’s your occupation? Where are you from? What country? What nationality are you?”

9And he said to them, “I’m a Hebrew and I fear Yahweh the God of the heavens who made the sea and the land.”

10And the men became really scared and asked him what he had done, because he had told them that he was running from Yahweh.

11So they asked him what they should do to him so that the sea would calm, because the storm was getting worse.

12And he said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea so that the sea will calm down because I know that this terrible storm came because of me.”

13However, the men tried to row but they were not able to return to the land because the sea was very rough and getting worse. 14So they called to Yahweh and said, “We beg you Yahweh: please don’t let us die because of this man, and don’t consider us guilty because you yourself have made this happen.” 15And then they picked up Yonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea became calm. 16The men felt really scared of Yahweh and they sacrificed to him and made vows.We renumbered this chapter to match the LV for now

2[ref]Then Yahweh commanded a huge fish to swallow Yonah and he stayed in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights.
