Douay Bible - Jonah Chapter 1

Jonah 1:1
Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying:

Jonah 1:2
Arise, and go to Ninive the great city, and preach in it: for the wickedness thereof is come up before me.

Jonah 1:3
And 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.

Jonah 1:4
But 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.

Jonah 1:5
And 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 Jones went down into the inner part of the ship, and fell into a deep sleep.

Jonah 1:6
And 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.

Jonah 1:7
And 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.

Jonah 1:8
And 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?

Jonah 1:9
And 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.

Jonah 1:10
And 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.)

Jonah 1:11
And they said to him: What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled.

Jonah 1:12
And 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.

Jonah 1:13
And the men rowed hard to return to land, but they were not able: because the sea tossed and swelled upon them.

Jonah 1:14
And 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.

Jonah 1:15
And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from raging.

Jonah 1:16
And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to the Lord, and made vows.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
