Scene 1 · Intermediate
Isten így szólt Jónáshoz, Amittaj fiához: – Indulj el Ninivébe, abba a nagy városba! Figyelmeztesd a lakóit, mert látom, milyen gonoszságokat követnek el!
God spoke to Jonah, son of Amittai: “Go to Nineveh, that great city! Warn its inhabitants, for I see what wicked things they are doing!”
Jónás azonban másfelé indult: Tarsísba akart menekülni Isten elől. Lement Joppéba, ahol talált egy Tarsísba készülő hajót. Kifizette az út árát, majd beszállt, hogy a legénységgel együtt elhajózzon. Így próbált elmenekülni Isten elől.
Jonah, however, set off in another direction: he wanted to flee from God to Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for Tarshish. He paid the fare, then boarded it to sail away with the crew. This was how he tried to escape from God.
