2 uttkar us bade nagar neenave ko ja, aur usake virooddh prachar kara kyonaki usakee burai meree draashtti men baddh gai haai.
3 parantu yona yahova ke sammukh se tashareesh ko bhag jane ke liye utta, aur yapo nagar ke jakar tashareesh janevala aek jahaj paya aur bhada dekar us par chaddh gaya ki unake sath hokar yahova ke sammukh se tashareesh ko chala jaae..
4 tab yahova ne samudra men aek prachand andhaee chalai, aur samudra men badee andhaee uttee, yahan tak ki jahaj toottne par tha.
5 tab mallah log drakar apane apane devata kee dohai dene lage aur jahaj men jo vyopar kee samagraee thee use samudra men faenkane lage ki jahaj halka ho jaae. parantu yona jahaj ke nichale bhag men utarakar so gaya tha, aur gaharee neend men pada hua tha.
6 tab manjhee usake nikatt akar kahane laga, too bharee neend men pada hua kya karata haai? ut, apane devata kee dohai de! sambhv haai ki parameshvar hamaree chinta kare, aur hamara nash n ho..
7 tab unhon ne apas men kaha, ao, ham chitthee dalakar jan len ki yah vipaati ham par kis ke karan padee haai. tab unhon ne chitthee dalee, aur chitthee yona ke nam par nikalee.
8 tab unhon ne us se kaha, hamen bata ki kis ke karan yah vipaati ham par padee haai? tera udhym kya haai? aur too kahan se aya haai? too kis desh aur kis jati ka haai?
9 us ne un se kaha, maain ibraee hoon aur svarga ka parameshvar yahova jis ne jal sthl donon ko banaya haai, usee ka bhy manata hoon.
10 tab ve nipatt dr gaa, aur us se kahane lage, too ne yah kya kiya haai? ve jan gaae the ki vah yahova ke sammukh se bhag aya haai, kyonki us ne ap hee unako bata diya tha..
11 tab unhon ne us se poochha, ham tere sath kya karen jis se samudra shaant ho jaae? us samay samudra kee laharen baddhtee hee jatee theen.
12 us ne un se kaha, mujhe uttakar samudra men faenk do tab samudra shaant pad jaega kyonki maain janata hoo, ki yah bharee andhaee tumhare upar mere hee karan ai haai.
13 taubhee ve bade yatn se khete rahe ki usako kinare par lagaae, parantu pahunch n sake, kyonaki samudra kee laharen unake virooddh baddhtee hee jatee theen.
14 tab unhon ne yahova ko pukarakar kaha, he yahova ham binatee karate lae, ki is puroosh ke praan kee santee hamara nash n ho, aur n hamen nirdosh kee hatya ka doshaee tthara kyonki he hayova, jo kuchh teree ichchha thee vahee too ne kiya haai.
15 tab unhon ne yona ko uttakar samudra men faenk diya aur samudra kee bhyanak laharen thm gain.
16 tab un manushyon ne yahova ka bahut hee bhy mana, aur usako bhentt chaddhai aur mannaten maneen..
17 yahova ne aek bada sa magaramachchh ttharaya tha ki yona ko nigal le aur yona us magaramachchh ke pett men teen din aur teen rat pada raha..
