Jonas 1
Haitian Creole Version
1 ¶ Yon jou, Seyè a pale ak Jonas, pitit gason Amitayi a,
2 li di l' konsa: -Leve non. Ale lavil Niniv, gwo kapital la. Al fè moun la konnen mechanste yo rive jouk nan zòrèy mwen.
3 Men lè sa a, Jonas leve, li pati nan direksyon Tasis, paske li t'ap kouri pou Seyè a. Li desann lavil Jope. Rive la, li jwenn yon batiman ki t'ap pare pou pati pou Tasis. Li peye pasaj li. Li moute abò batiman an avèk marin yo. Li pati pou Tasis, paske li t'ap kouri pou Seyè a.
4 ¶ Men, Seyè a voye yon gwo van sou lanmè a. Yon sèl gwo van tanpèt leve, batiman an te prèt pou koule.
5 Marin yo te pè anpil. Chak moun t'ap lapriyè bondye pa yo. Pou yo te ka soulaje batiman an, yo lage dènye chay nan lanmè. Jonas menm poutèt pa l' te desann nan lakal batiman an, li kouche kouche l'. Dòmi pote l' ale.
6 Kaptenn batiman an al jwenn li, li di l' konsa: -Ey! Apa se dòmi w'ap dòmi? Leve non, monchè. Lapriyè bondye ou la. Ou pa janm konnen, li ka gen pitye pou nou, li ka pa kite nou mouri.
7 Apre sa, marin yo yon di lòt: -Ann tire osò pou n' konnen ki moun ki lakòz sa rive nou. Yo tire osò, epi se non Jonas ki soti.
8 Epi yo di l': -Di nou sa ki lakòz malè sa a rive nou. Sa w'ap fè isit la? Kote ou soti? Moun ki peyi ou ye? Ki nanchon ou?
9 Jonas reponn yo: -Mwen se ebre. Mwen gen krentif pou Seyè a, Bondye ki fè syèl la, lanmè a ak tè a.
10 Jonas pale ak yo, li di yo ki jan li t'ap kouri pou Seyè a. Marin yo te sezi yon sèl sezi. Yo di l' konsa: -Sa ou fè konsa, monchè?
11 ¶ Lanmè a t'ap vin pi move chak lè. Yo di l': -Sa pou nou fè ak ou pou lanmè a vin kal?
12 Jonas reponn yo: -Pran m', lage m' nan lanmè. Lanmè a va kal nèt. Mwen konnen se mwen menm menm ki lakòz nou pran nan van tanpèt sa a.
13 Marin yo menm t'ap naje zaviwon pou wè si yo ta mennen batiman an ale atè. Men, yo pa t' kapab, lanmè a t'ap vin pi move toujou.
14 Lè yo wè sa, yo rele nan pye Seyè a, yo lapriyè l' konsa: -O Seyè! Tanpri, pa kite nou mouri poutèt nonm sa a. Pa rann nou reskonsab lanmò yon moun ki inonsan. Paske, se ou menm, Seyè, ki vle l' konsa.
15 Epi yo pran Jonas, yo lage l' nan lanmè. Lamenm, kalmi fèt.
16 Lè marin yo wè sa, yo te vin pè Seyè a anpil. Yo ofri bèt pou touye ba li. Yo pwomèt pou yo sèvi l'.
17 Seyè a fè yon gwo pwason vin vale Jonas. Jonas te pase twa jou twa nwit nan vant pwason an.

Jonah 1
New International Version
Jonah Flees From the Lord
1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah(A) son of Amittai:(B) 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh(C) and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
3 But Jonah ran(D) away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish(E). He went down to Joppa,(F) where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.(G)
4 Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.(H) 5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship.(I)
But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call(J) on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.”(K)
7 Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.”(L) They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.(M) 8 So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?”
9 He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord,(N) the God of heaven,(O) who made the sea(P) and the dry land.(Q)”
10 This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.)
11 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”
12 “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”(R)
13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before.(S) 14 Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man,(T) for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.”(U) 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.(V) 16 At this the men greatly feared(W) the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows(X) to him.
Jonah’s Prayer
17 Now the Lord provided(Y) a huge fish to swallow Jonah,(Z) and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
