Scene 1 · Beginner
Deus falou com Jonas, filho de Amitai: — Levante-se e vá à grande cidade de Nínive. Avise as pessoas de lá sobre a maldade delas. Eu vejo tudo o que elas fazem.
God spoke to Jonah, son of Amittai: “Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Warn the people there about their wickedness. I see everything they do.”
Mas Jonas decidiu fugir para longe de Deus. Ele desceu até Jope e encontrou um navio que ia para Társis. Pagou a passagem e entrou no navio para viajar com os marinheiros. Queria ir para Társis e ficar longe da presença de Deus.
But Jonah decided to flee far from God. He went down to Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. He paid the fare and boarded the ship to travel with the sailors. He wanted to go to Tarshish and get far away from God’s presence.
