Scene 1 · Intermediate
Dumnezeu i-a vorbit lui Iona, fiul lui Amitai, și i-a dat o poruncă: — Ridică-te și du-te la Ninive, cetatea aceea mare. Vorbește împotriva ei, fiindcă am văzut răutatea locuitorilor ei.
God spoke to Jonah, son of Amittai, and gave him a command: “Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city. Speak out against it, because I have seen how wicked its people are.”
Iona s-a pregătit de plecare, însă a pornit în altă direcție. Voia să fugă la Tarsis, departe de prezența lui Dumnezeu. A coborât la Iope, unde a găsit o corabie care se îndrepta spre Tarsis. După ce și-a plătit călătoria, s-a urcat la bord ca să plece împreună cu echipajul. Astfel încerca să se îndepărteze de Dumnezeu.
Jonah got ready to leave, but set off in a different direction. He wanted to flee to Tarshish, far from God’s presence. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship headed for Tarshish. After paying his fare, he went aboard to leave with the crew. That was how he tried to get away from God.
