Scene 1 · Intermediate
Dios se dirigió a Jonás, hijo de Amitay, y le ordenó ponerse en camino hacia Nínive. Debía predicar contra aquella gran ciudad, porque su maldad había llegado hasta él.
God spoke to Jonah, son of Amittai, and ordered him to set out for Nineveh. He was to preach against that great city, because its wickedness had come to God’s attention.
En lugar de obedecer, Jonás decidió huir a Tarsis, lejos de la presencia de Dios. Bajó a Jope y encontró un barco que partía hacia su destino. Pagó el pasaje y descendió a su interior para viajar con la tripulación. Esperaba alejarse así de Dios.
Instead of obeying, Jonah decided to flee to Tarshish, far from God’s presence. He went down to Joppa and found a ship sailing for his destination. He paid the fare and went down into it to travel with the crew. He hoped this would take him far from God.
