¹

Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying,

¹

И бы'сть сло'во гн~е къ і^ѓ'нњ а^маџїинђ, гл~я,

²

Rise, and go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it; for the cry of its wickedness is come up to me.

²

въста'ни і^ и^ди въ ниневїю граD вели'кїи, и^ проповњжDь в неM, ја%ко възы'де во'пль ѕло'бы е^го къ мн^њ”

³

But Jonas rose up to flee to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord. And he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid his fare, and went up into it, to sail with them to Tharsis from the presence of the Lord.

³

И$ въста'въ і^ѓ'на ја%коy бњжа'ти въ џарси'съ эT лица` гн~я. и^ сни'де въ і^ѓ^пїю, и^ ѓ^брњте кора'бль и^дђщь въ џарси'съ. и^ да'сть наи'мъ свои, и^ вниде во'нь плы'ти с ни'ми въ џарси'съ эT лица` гн~я.

⁴

And the Lord raised up a wind on the sea; and there was a great storm on the sea, and the ship was in danger of being broken.

⁴

и^ въста'ви г~ь вњтръ вели'къ въ мо'ри. и^ бы'сть бђря вели'ка въ мо'ри, кора'бль же страда'ше ја^ко съкрђши'тися.

⁵

And the sailors were alarmed, and cried every one to his god, and cast out the wares that were in the ship into the sea, that it might be lightened of them. But Jonas was gone down into the hold of the ship, and was asleep, and snored.

⁵

и^ ё^боя'шася кора'бльницы, и^ въпїя'хђ къждо къ б~ђ свое^мђ. і^ и^ꙁметанїе сътвори'ша сосђдомъ и^же в# корабли` въ мо'ре, ја^ко ѓ^блег#читися эT ниX. і^ѓ'на же сни'де в# пожDь кораблю`, и^ спа'ше т^ђ и^ храпя'ше.

⁶

And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, Why snorest thou? arise, and call upon thy God, that God may save us, and we perish not.

⁶

и^ прїиде к немђ корьмникъ, и^ рече е^мђ, чт^о т^ы хра'плеши. въста'ни моли` б~а свое^го, ја%ко да сп~сетъ н^ы б~ъ, да не поги'бнемъ”

⁷

And each man said to his neighbour, Come, let us cast lots, and find out for whose sake this mischief is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.

⁷

И$ рече ко'ждо къ подрђгђ свое^мђ, грядњте да възве'ржемъ жре'бїя, да раꙁђмњ'емъ чесо ради е^сть зло'ба с^и на наs. и^ мета'шA жре'бїя, и^ спаде` жре'бїи на і^ѓ'нђ.

⁸

And they said to him, Tell us what is thine occupation, and whence comest thou, and of what country and what people art thou?

⁸

и^ рњша к немђ, и^звњсти` на'мъ кого` ради с^е зл^о намъ, что' ли т^и еs дњло. и^ эTкђдђ гряде'ши, и^ камо и^де'ши, и^ эT коея страны` и^ кои^хъ людїи т^ы е^си.

⁹

And he said to them, I am a servant of the Lord; and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea, and the dry land.

⁹

и^ рече к нимъ, рабъ гн~ь а^ꙁъ е^смь, и^ г~а б~а а^ꙁъ молю` и^же сътвори` мо'ре и^ сђшђ”

¹⁰

Then the men feared exceedingly, and said to him, What is this that thou hast done? for the men knew that he was fleeing from the face of the Lord, because he had told them.

¹⁰

И$ ё^боя'шася мђжїе бо'яꙁнїю вели'кою, и^ рњша к немђ, что` с^е е^си сътвори'лъ. зане` разђмњша мђжи ја%ко эT лица` гн~я бњжа`, ја%коже б^њ и^звњсти'лъ и^мъ.

¹¹

And they said to him, What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea rose, and lifted its wave exceedingly.

¹¹

и^ рњша к немђ, чт^о т^и сътво'римъ, да ё^ста'нетъ мо'ре эT насъ. ја%ко море въсхожда'ше и^ въставля'ше па'че бђря”

¹²

And Jonas said to them, Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

¹²

И$ рече і^ѓ'на к ни'мъ, възмᲇте м^я и^ въврь'зите въ мо'ре, и^ ё^ста'нетъ мо'ре эT васъ. понеже позна'хъ а^ꙁъ ја%ко мене` ради бђря сїя ве'лїя на' вы еs”

¹³

And the men tried hard to return to the land, and were not able: for the sea rose and grew more and more tempestuous against them.

¹³

И$ нђжда'хђся мђжи възвратити кᲆ земли`, и^ не можа'хђ. ја%ко мо'ре вᲆсхожда'ше и^ въстаа'ше па'че на' ня.

¹⁴

And they cried to the Lord, and said, Forbid it, Lord: let us not perish for the sake of this man's life, and bring not righteous blood upon us: for thou, Lord, hast done as thou wouldest.

¹⁴

и^ възᲆпи'ша къ гв~и, и^ рњша, ника'коже г~и да не поги'бнемъ дш~а ра'ди чл~ка сего, ника'коже до на'съ кро'вь правди'ва, ꙁане` т^ы г~и ја%коже въсхотњ сътвори`”

¹⁵

So they took Jonas, and cast him out into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.

¹⁵

И$ взя'ша і^ѓ'нђ и^ въврь'гоша и& в мо'ре. и^ ё^ста` море эT влᲆне'нїя свое^го.

¹⁶

And the men feared the Lord very greatly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord, and vowed vows.

¹⁶

и^ ё^боя'шася мђжи бо'яZнїю вели'кою г~а, и^ положи'ша тре'бы гв~и и^ моли'шася мл~твою”
