Scene 1 · Intermediate
Dieu s’est adressé à Jonas, fils d’Amittaï : « Va à Ninive, la grande ville, et dénonce sa méchanceté, car celle de ses habitants est parvenue jusqu’à moi. »
God spoke to Jonah, son of Amittai: “Go to Nineveh, the great city, and denounce its wickedness, for the wickedness of its inhabitants has reached me.”
Mais Jonas a préféré s’enfuir à Tarsis, loin de Dieu. Descendu à Joppé, il y a trouvé un navire en partance pour Tarsis. Il a payé sa traversée et s’est embarqué avec l’équipage, dans l’espoir de s’éloigner de Dieu.
But Jonah chose to flee to Tarshish, far from God. When he went down to Joppa, he found a ship bound for Tarshish. He paid his fare and boarded with the crew, hoping to get far away from God.
