Scene 1 · Intermediate
Bóg zwrócił się do Jonasza, syna Amittaja: – Wstań i idź do Niniwy, tego wielkiego miasta. Wystąp przeciwko niemu, bo widzę, jak złe jest postępowanie jego mieszkańców.
God spoke to Jonah, son of Amittai: “Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city. Speak out against it, because I see how wicked its people are.”
Jonasz jednak postanowił uciec przed Bogiem do Tarszisz. Zszedł do Jafy, gdzie znalazł statek płynący właśnie w tamtym kierunku. Zapłacił za podróż i wszedł na pokład. Zamierzał odpłynąć z załogą do Tarszisz, jak najdalej od Boga.
Jonah, however, decided to flee from God to Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship that was just about to sail in that direction. He paid for the journey and went aboard. He planned to sail with the crew to Tarshish, as far away from God as possible.
