Jonas 1	Jonah 1
Jonas 1:1 La parole de l`Éternel fut adressée à Jonas, fils d`Amitthaï, en ces mots:	Jonah 1:1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,
Jonas 1:2 Lève-toi, va à Ninive, la grande ville, et crie contre elle! car sa méchanceté est montée jusqu`à moi.	Jonah 1:2 Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.
Jonas 1:3 Et Jonas se leva pour s`enfuir à Tarsis, loin de la face de l`Éternel. Il descendit à Japho, et il trouva un navire qui allait à Tarsis; il paya le prix du transport, et s`embarqua pour aller avec les passagers à Tarsis, loin de la face de l`Éternel.	Jonah 1:3 And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.
Jonas 1:4 Mais l`Éternel fit souffler sur la mer un vent impétueux, et il s`éleva sur la mer une grande tempête. Le navire menaçait de faire naufrage.	Jonah 1:4 And the Lord sent out a great wind on to the sea and there was a violent storm in the sea, so that the ship seemed in danger of being broken.
Jonas 1:5 Les mariniers eurent peur, ils implorèrent chacun leur dieu, et ils jetèrent dans la mer les objets qui étaient sur le navire, afin de le rendre plus léger. Jonas descendit au fond du navire, se coucha, et s`endormit profondément.	Jonah 1:5 Then the sailors were full of fear, every man crying to his god; and the goods in the ship were dropped out into the sea to make the weight less. But Jonah had gone down into the inmost part of the ship where he was stretched out in a deep sleep.
Jonas 1:6 Le pilote s`approcha de lui, et lui dit: Pourquoi dors-tu? Lève-toi, invoque ton Dieu! peut-être voudra-t-il penser à nous, et nous ne périrons pas.	Jonah 1:6 And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.
Jonas 1:7 Et il se rendirent l`un à l`autre: Venez, et tirons au sort, pour savoir qui nous attire ce malheur. Ils tirèrent au sort, et le sort tomba sur Jonas.	Jonah 1:7 And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man.
Jonas 1:8 Alors ils lui dirent: Dis-nous qui nous attire ce malheur. Quelles sont tes affaires, et d`où viens-tu? Quel est ton pays, et de quel peuple es-tu?	Jonah 1:8 Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people?
Jonas 1:9 Il leur répondit: Je suis Hébreu, et je crains l`Éternel, le Dieu des cieux, qui a fait la mer et la terre.	Jonah 1:9 And he said to them, I am a Hebrew, a worshipper of the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.
Jonas 1:10 Ces hommes eurent une grande frayeur, et ils lui dirent: Pourquoi as-tu fait cela? Car ces hommes savaient qu`il fuyait loin de la face de l`Éternel, parce qu`il le leur avait déclaré.	Jonah 1:10 And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them.
Jonas 1:11 Ils lui dirent: Que te ferons-nous, pour que la mer se calme envers nous? Car la mer était de plus en plus orageuse.	Jonah 1:11 And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.
Jonas 1:12 Il leur répondit: Prenez-moi, et jetez-moi dans la mer, et la mer se calmera envers vous; car je sais que c`est moi qui attire sur vous cette grande tempête.	Jonah 1:12 And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you.
Jonas 1:13 Ces hommes ramaient pour gagner la terre, mais ils ne le purent, parce que la mer s`agitait toujours plus contre eux.	Jonah 1:13 And the men were working hard to get back to the land, but they were not able to do so: for the sea got rougher and rougher against them.
Jonas 1:14 Alors ils invoquèrent l`Éternel, et dirent: O Éternel, ne nous fais pas périr à cause de la vie de cet homme, et ne nous charge pas du sang innocent! Car toi, Éternel, tu fais ce que tu veux.	Jonah 1:14 So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.
Jonas 1:15 Puis ils prirent Jonas, et le jetèrent dans la mer. Et la fureur de la mer s`apaisa.	Jonah 1:15 So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry.
Jonas 1:16 Ces hommes furent saisis d`une grande crainte de l`Éternel, et ils offrirent un sacrifice à l`Éternel, et firent des voeux.	Jonah 1:16 Then great was the men's fear of the Lord; and they made an offering to the Lord and took oaths to him.
Jonas 1:17 L`Éternel fit venir un grand poisson pour engloutir Jonas, et Jonas fut dans le ventre du poisson trois jours et trois nuits.	Jonah 1:17 And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.
