Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying:
1耶和華的話臨到 亞米太 的兒子 約拿 ，說：
2Arise, and go to Ninive the great city, and preach in it: for the wickedness thereof is come up before me.
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。」
3And Jonas rose up to flee into Tharsis from the face of the Lord, and he went down to Joppe, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tharsis from the face of the Lord.
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。
4But the Lord sent a great wind into the sea: and a great tempest was raised in the sea, and the ship was in danger to be broken.
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。
5And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried to their god: and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship, into the sea, to lighten it of them: and Jonas went down into the inner part of the ship, and fell into a deep sleep.
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。
6And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him: Why art thou fast asleep? rise up, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think of us, that we may not perish.
6船主到他那裏對他說：「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，使我們不致滅亡。」
7And they said every one to his fellow: Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know why this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.
7船上的人彼此說：「來吧，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。
8And they said to him: Tell us for what cause this evil is upon us, what is thy business? of what country art thou? and whither goest thou? or of what people art thou?
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？你從哪裏來？你是哪一國？屬哪一族的人？」
9And he said to them: I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord the God of heaven, who made both the sea and the dry land.
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上帝。」
10And the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him: Why hast thou done this? (for the men knew that he fled from the face of the Lord: because he had told them.)
10他們就大大懼怕，對他說：「你做的是甚麼事呢？」他們已經知道他躲避耶和華，因為他告訴了他們。
11And they said to him: What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled.
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。
12And he 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。」
13And the men rowed hard to return to land, but they were not able: because the sea tossed and swelled upon them.
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。
14And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.
14他們便求告耶和華說：「耶和華啊，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。」
15And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from raging.
15他們遂將 約拿 抬起，拋在海中，海的狂浪就平息了。
16And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to the Lord, and made vows.
16那些人便大大敬畏耶和華，向耶和華獻祭，並且許願。
