約拿書 1	Jonah 1
約拿書 1:1 ^ 耶和華的話臨到亞米太的兒子約拿、說、	Jonah 1:1 ^ Now the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
約拿書 1:2 ^ 你起來往尼尼微大城去、向其中的居民呼喊、因為他們的惡達到我面前。	Jonah 1:2 ^ Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
約拿書 1:3 ^ 約拿卻起來、逃往他施去躲避耶和華．下到約帕、遇見一隻船、要往他施去。他就給了船價、上了船、要與船上的人同往他施去躲避耶和華。	Jonah 1:3 ^ But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah.
約拿書 1:4 ^ 然而耶和華使海中起大風、海就狂風大作、甚至船幾乎破壞。	Jonah 1:4 ^ But Jehovah sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
約拿書 1:5 ^ 水手便懼怕、各人哀求自己的神．他們將船上的貨物拋在海中、為要使船輕些。約拿已下到底艙、躺臥沉睡。	Jonah 1:5 ^ Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
約拿書 1:6 ^ 船主到他那裡對他說、你這沉睡的人哪、為何這樣呢。起來、求告你的神、或者神顧念我們、使我們不至滅亡。	Jonah 1:6 ^ So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
約拿書 1:7 ^ 船上的人彼此說、來罷、我們掣籤、看看這災臨到我們是因誰的緣故．於是他們掣籤、掣出約拿來。	Jonah 1:7 ^ And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
約拿書 1:8 ^ 眾人對他說、請你告訴我們、這災臨到我們是因誰的緣故．你以何事為業．你從那裡來．你是哪一國、屬那一族的人。	Jonah 1:8 ^ Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; what is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
約拿書 1:9 ^ 他說、我是希伯來人．我敬畏耶和華、那創造滄海旱地之天上的　神。	Jonah 1:9 ^ And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear Jehovah, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land.
約拿書 1:10 ^ 他們就大大懼怕、對他說、你作的是甚麼事呢．他們已經知道他躲避耶和華、因為他告訴了他們。	Jonah 1:10 ^ Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, What is this that thou hast done? For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Jehovah, because he had told them.
約拿書 1:11 ^ 他們問他說、我們當向你怎樣行、使海浪平靜呢．這話是因海浪越發翻騰。	Jonah 1:11 ^ Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
約拿書 1:12 ^ 他對他們說、你們將我抬起來、拋在海中、海就平靜了．我知道你們遭這大風、是因我的緣故。	Jonah 1:12 ^ And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
約拿書 1:13 ^ 然而那些人竭力盪槳、要把船攏岸、卻是不能．因為海浪越發向他們翻騰。	Jonah 1:13 ^ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not: for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
約拿書 1:14 ^ 他們便求告耶和華說、耶和華阿、我們懇求你、不要因這人的性命使我們死亡．不要使流無辜血的罪歸與我們．因為你耶和華是隨自己的意旨行事。	Jonah 1:14 ^ Wherefore they cried unto Jehovah, and said, We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood; for thou, O Jehovah, hast done as it pleased thee.
約拿書 1:15 ^ 他們遂將約拿抬起、拋在海中、海的狂浪就平息了。	Jonah 1:15 ^ So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.
約拿書 1:16 ^ 那些人便大大敬畏耶和華、向耶和華獻祭、並且許願。	Jonah 1:16 ^ Then the men feared Jehovah exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice unto Jehovah, and made vows.
約拿書 1:17 ^ 耶和華安排一條大魚吞了約拿、他在魚腹中三日三夜。	Jonah 1:17 ^ And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
