Arise, get thee to Nineveh the great city, and proclaim unto it, - that their wickedness, hath come up, before me.

Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose sake this calamity is upon us? What is thy business? and from whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?

Then said they unto him, What shall we de to thee, that the sea may cease raging over us? For, the sea, was raging more and more.

When my soul, darkened itself over me, Yahweh, I remembered, - and my prayer, came in unto thee, unto thy holy temple.

But, I, with the voice of praise, will sacrifice unto thee, What I have vowed, I will pay, - Salvation, belongeth to Yahweh!

Arise, get thee unto Nineveh, the great city, - and cry against it the cry that I am bidding thee.

Now, therefore, O Yahweh, take, I pray thee, my life from me, - for it were better for me, to die, than, to live.
