Scene 1 · Intermediate
Deus falou a Jonas, filho de Amitai, e lhe deu uma ordem: — Levante-se e vá a Nínive, aquela grande cidade. Pregue contra ela, pois a maldade de seus habitantes chegou à minha presença.
God spoke to Jonah, son of Amittai, and gave him an order: “Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city. Preach against it, because the wickedness of its inhabitants has come to my attention.”
Jonas, porém, decidiu fugir para Társis, para longe da presença de Deus. Desceu até Jope, onde encontrou um navio que estava de partida para Társis. Depois de pagar a passagem, entrou no navio para viajar com a tripulação. Seu objetivo era se afastar de Deus.
Jonah, however, decided to flee to Tarshish, away from the presence of God. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship that was about to leave for Tarshish. After paying the fare, he boarded the ship to travel with the crew. His aim was to get away from God.
