| 27 | JON | 1 | 6 | bd4f | figs-idiom | ק֚וּם | 1 | Get up! | This is a command to begin some activity that is named following this word. See how you translated this idiom in [1:2](..01/02.md) and [1:3](..01/03.md). In this verse, the Captain is telling Jonah to pray to his god. Because Jonah was lying down, the captain may also be telling Jonah literally to stand up. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]) |
| 28 | JON | 1 | 6 | sk7i | figs-explicit | אוּלַ֞י יִתְעַשֵּׁ֧ת הָאֱלֹהִ֛ים לָ֖נוּ וְלֹ֥א נֹאבֵֽד | 1 | Maybe that god will notice us and we will not perish | The implicit information that Jonah’s god might save them could be made explicit.

| 44 | JON | 1 | 12 | h982 | כִּ֚י יוֹדֵ֣עַ אָ֔נִי כִּ֣י בְשֶׁלִּ֔י הַסַּ֧עַר הַגָּד֛וֹל הַזֶּ֖ה עֲלֵיכֶֽם | 1 | for I know that this great storm is upon you because of me | because I know that this huge storm is my fault | |

| 49 | JON | 1 | 17 | q87y | 0 | General Information: | Some versions number this verse as the first verse of chapter 2. You may want to number the verses according to the main version that your language group uses. | ||
| 50 | JON | 1 | 17 | jdr4 | writing-newevent | וַיְמַ֤ן יְהוָה֙ דָּ֣ג גָּד֔וֹל לִבְלֹ֖עַ אֶת־יוֹנָ֑ה | 1 | Now Yahweh appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, | This clause introduces the next part of the story, where Yahweh saves Jonah from the sea, and Jonah prays. In this context, the word **Now** is used in English to introduce a new part of the story. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent]]) |
| 51 | JON | 1 | 17 | cjb6 | figs-idiom | שְׁלֹשָׁ֥ה יָמִ֖ים וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֥ה לֵילֽוֹת | 1 | three days and three nights | Perhaps this expression is an idiom in Hebrew meaning “a couple of days” or “a few days” or something similar, but this is uncertain. Alternate translation: “three days and nights” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]) |
| 52 | JON | 2 | 2 | al5b | וַיֹּ֗אמֶר | 1 | And he said | Jonah said | |
| 53 | JON | 2 | 2 | jdrc | writing-poetry | קָ֠רָאתִי מִצָּ֥רָה לִ֛י אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑נִי | 1 | I cried out to Yahweh from my distress, and he answered me | This line begins a poem describing Jonah’s experience and prayer in the belly of the fish. The poem does not give the exact words that Jonah prayed at the time because the poem was written later, describing Jonah’s experience in the fish, his prayer, and God’s answer as if they had already happened in the past. This first line of the poem can be understood in one of two ways: either as being addressed to Yahweh as part of the description of the prayer, or as being addressed to another person as an introduction to the description of the prayer. See also the Note concerning the phrase “Salvation belongs to Yahweh!” in [2:9](../02/09/jdrh). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry]]) |
| 54 | JON | 2 | 2 | wdr4 | וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑נִי | 1 | he answered me | Yahweh responded to me or he helped me or you answered me | |
| 55 | JON | 2 | 2 | ab77 | translate-names | שְׁא֛וֹל | 1 | Sheol | **Sheol** was the name of the place where people went after they died. It was thought to be a shadowy world located somewhere under the ground. The New Testament equivalent seems to be “Hades,” where the dead wait for judgment (see Rev. 20:13). If your language has a word for this place, you may want to use it here, or borrow the word “Sheol.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]]) |
| 56 | JON | 2 | 2 | jdrd | figs-idiom | שָׁמַ֥עְתָּ קוֹלִֽי | 1 | you heard my voice | This phrase probably has both a literal and a figurative meaning. The phrase probably means literally that Yahweh heard Jonah’s voice while he was praying inside the belly of the fish. However, the phrase “to hear someone’s voice” in the Old Testament often means “to listen and obey (comply).” In this context, Jonah is expressing that Yahweh both heard him and acted to save him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]) |
| 57 | JON | 2 | 3 | glp2 | בִּלְבַ֣ב יַמִּ֔ים | 1 | into the heart of the seas | Here the term **heart** is a metaphor for “being inside” something. The phrase “in the heart of” means to be “in the middle of” or “completely surrounded by” sea water. Alternate translation: “in the middle of the sea” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) | |
| 58 | JON | 2 | 3 | p8fd | וְנָהָ֖ר יְסֹבְבֵ֑נִי | 1 | a current surrounded me | the sea water closed in around me | |
| 59 | JON | 2 | 3 | c6jx | figs-doublet | מִשְׁבָּרֶ֥יךָ וְגַלֶּ֖יךָ | 1 | your billows and your waves | Both of these are disturbances on the surface of the ocean. They could be combined into one term, such as “waves” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]]) |
| 60 | JON | 2 | 4 | jdr5 | grammar-connect-logic-contrast | וַאֲנִ֣י | 1 | But as for me, | This expression shows that there is a contrast between the actions of Yahweh, which Jonah had just talked about, and his own response. Alternate translation: “then I” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast]]) |
| 61 | JON | 2 | 4 | x1w9 | figs-activepassive | נִגְרַ֖שְׁתִּי | 1 | I have been driven out | This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: “you drove me out” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) |
| 62 | JON | 2 | 4 | z1yx | figs-metonymy | מִנֶּ֣גֶד עֵינֶ֑יךָ | 1 | from before your eyes | Here, **eyes** is a metonym meaning seeing, and seeing is a metonym for the knowledge, notice, and attention of God. Alternate translation: “from before you” or “from your presence” or “where you do not notice me” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) |
| 63 | JON | 2 | 4 | b8vk | אַ֚ךְ אוֹסִ֣יף לְהַבִּ֔יט אֶל־הֵיכַ֖ל קָדְשֶֽׁךָ | 1 | yet I might again look toward your holy temple | Jonah still has hope that, in spite of all that he is going through, God will allow him to see the temple in Jerusalem again. | |
| 64 | JON | 2 | 5 | abc2 | figs-parallelism | אֲפָפ֤וּנִי מַ֨יִם֙ עַד־נֶ֔פֶשׁ תְּה֖וֹם יְסֹבְבֵ֑נִי | 1 | Water had closed around me even as far as life; the deep was surrounding me; | Jonah uses two similar phrases to express the severity and hopelessness of his situation. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]]) |
| 65 | JON | 2 | 5 | rf4b | מַ֨יִם֙ | 1 | Water | Here, **water** refers to the sea. | |
| 66 | JON | 2 | 5 | nr3v | תְּה֖וֹם יְסֹבְבֵ֑נִי | 1 | the deep was surrounding me | deep water was all around me | |
| 67 | JON | 2 | 5 | p1fw | ס֖וּף | 1 | seaweed | **Seaweed** is grass that grows in the sea. | |
| 68 | JON | 2 | 6 | z36i | figs-metaphor | הָאָ֛רֶץ בְּרִחֶ֥יהָ בַעֲדִ֖י לְעוֹלָ֑ם | 1 | the earth with its bars was around me forever | Here Jonah uses a metaphor to compare the earth to a prison. Alternate translation: “the earth was like a prison that was about to lock me in forever” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) |
| 69 | JON | 2 | 6 | dc3r | figs-metaphor | וַתַּ֧עַל מִשַּׁ֛חַת חַיַּ֖י | 1 | but you brought up my life from the pit | Here the term **pit** has two possible meanings: (1) this could be a way to describe being in a very deep place underground or underwater or (2) this could be a metaphor meaning the place of the dead (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]). In either case, the term probably refers to the fact that Jonah felt certain that he would die. Alternate translation: “but you saved me from dying in a deep place” or “but you saved my life from the place of the dead” |
| 70 | JON | 2 | 6 | i3mx | יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָֽי | 1 | Yahweh, my God! | In some languages, it may be more natural to put this at the beginning of the sentence or next to the word **you**. | |
| 71 | JON | 2 | 7 | jdr6 | grammar-connect-time-simultaneous | בְּהִתְעַטֵּ֤ף עָלַי֙ נַפְשִׁ֔י | 1 | When my spirit fainted upon me, | This phrase could mean either: (1) Jonah was already in the process of dying when he remembered Yahweh; or (2) Jonah had given up hope of being rescued and resigned himself to the fact that he would die. Alternate translation: “when my life was fainting away from me” or “when my spirit inside me had fainted” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-time-simultaneous]]) |
| 72 | JON | 2 | 7 | l2b6 | אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה זָכָ֑רְתִּי | 1 | I remembered Yahweh | Since Jonah was praying to Yahweh, it might be more clear in some languages to say “I thought about you, Yahweh” or “Yahweh, I thought about you.” | |
| 73 | JON | 2 | 7 | ue9g | figs-metaphor | וַתָּב֤וֹא אֵלֶ֨יךָ֙ תְּפִלָּתִ֔י אֶל־הֵיכַ֖ל קָדְשֶֽׁךָ | 1 | and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple | Jonah speaks as if his prayers could travel to God and his temple. This means that God heard his prayer and responded to it. Alternate translation: “then you in your holy temple heard my prayer” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) |
| 74 | JON | 2 | 7 | jdrf | figs-metonymy | הֵיכַ֖ל קָדְשֶֽׁךָ | 1 | your holy temple | Here the term **holy temple** may have either a literal or a figurative meaning, or perhaps both. Jonah might be speaking about the literal temple in Jerusalem, or he might be speaking about God’s dwelling place in heaven. See the UST. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) |
| 75 | JON | 2 | 8 | jdre | נַפְשִׁ֔י | 1 | my spirit | Here the Hebrew term **my spirit** could also mean **my life**. | |
| 76 | JON | 2 | 8 | u1l9 | figs-idiom | מְשַׁמְּרִ֖ים הַבְלֵי־שָׁ֑וְא | 1 | Those who give attention to empty vanities | Here the term **empty vanities** is probably an idiom referring to idols of false gods. Alternate translation: “those who give attention to useless idols” or “those who pay attention to useless gods” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]) |
| 77 | JON | 2 | 8 | fac9 | חַסְדָּ֖ם יַעֲזֹֽבוּ | 1 | forsake their covenant faithfulness | Here, **covenant faithfulness** could refer to (1) the faithfulness of God or (2) the faithfulness of the people. Therefore, it could mean (1) “are rejecting you, who would be faithful to them” or (2) “are abandoning their commitment to you” | |
| 78 | JON | 2 | 9 | q3yb | grammar-connect-logic-contrast | וַאֲנִ֗י | 1 | But as for me, | This expression shows that there is a contrast between the people Jonah had just spoken about and himself. They paid attention to useless gods, but he would worship Yahweh. Alternate translation: “but I” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast]]) |
| 79 | JON | 2 | 9 | nfd2 | בְּק֤וֹל תּוֹדָה֙ אֶזְבְּחָה־לָּ֔ךְ | 1 | I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving | This phrase probably means that Jonah would thank God while he offered a sacrifice to him. It is not clear whether Jonah planned to thank God by singing or shouting joyfully. | |
| 80 | JON | 2 | 9 | jdrh | יְשׁוּעָ֖תָה לַיהוָֽה | 1 | Salvation belongs to Yahweh | This last line of the poem can be understood in one of two ways: either (1) as being addressed to Yahweh as part of the description of the prayer; or (2) as being addressed to another person as a conclusion to the description of the prayer. See also the Note concerning the phrase “I cried out to Yahweh from my distress …” in [2:2](../02/02/jdrc). | |
| 81 | JON | 3 | 1 | jdr7 | writing-newevent | וַיְהִ֧י דְבַר־יְהוָ֛ה | 1 | The word of Yahweh came | This phrase introduces the second half of the story of Jonah. The same phrase introduces the first half of the story [1:1](../01/01.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent]]) |
| 82 | JON | 3 | 1 | xj6n | figs-idiom | וַיְהִ֧י דְבַר־יְהוָ֛ה | 1 | The word of Yahweh came | This is an idiom meaning that Yahweh spoke in some way.

It could be translated as a statement: “We do not know.” Or it could be stated as a word and be part of the next sentence: “Perhaps.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]]) |

It is the same word used in the previous sentence (and verse 8) to describe the actions of the Ninevites. The author is showing that when people repent of moral evil, God relents of doing physical evil (punishment). God never does moral evil.

| 109 | JON | 4 | intro | ys57 | 0 | # Jonah 04 General Notes<br><br>## Structure and formatting<br><br>Jonah continues the narrative while bringing the book to what seems like an unusual end. This emphasizes that the book is not really about Jonah. It is about God’s desire to be merciful to everyone, whether Jew or pagan. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/mercy]])<br><br>## Special concepts in this chapter<br><br>### Prophecy not coming true<br><br>It is important to see the relationship between a prophet and Yahweh. A prophet was to prophesy for Yahweh, and his words must come true. According to the law of Moses, if that did not happen, the penalty was death, because that shows that he was not a real prophet. But when Jonah told the city of Nineveh that it was going to be destroyed in forty days, it did not happen at that time. This is because God reserves the right to be merciful. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]])<br><br>## Jonah’s anger<br><br><br><br>When God did not destroy Nineveh, Jonah was angry with God because Jonah hated the people of Nineveh. They were enemies of Israel. But God wanted Jonah, and the readers of this book, to learn that God loves all people.<br><br>### Important figures of speech in this chapter<br><br>### Rhetorical questions<br><br>As in other places, Jonah asks rhetorical questions to show how angry he was at Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])<br><br>### Parallel to Mount Sinai<br><br>In verse 2, Jonah attributes a series of characteristics to God. A Jewish reader of this book would recognize this as a formula Moses used in speaking about God when he was meeting God on Mount Sinai. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])<br><br>## Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter<br><br>### God’s grace<br><br>When Jonah went outside the city, he got very hot and God graciously provided some relief through the plant. God was trying to teach Jonah through an object lesson. It is important for the reader to see this clearly. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/grace]]) | |||

(See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent]]) |
| 111 | JON | 4 | 1 | abc3 | figs-idiom | וַיִּ֖חַר לֽוֹ | 1 | and it burned to him | This is an idiom that speaks of Jonah’s anger as if it were a fire burning inside him. Alternate translation: “and he was very angry” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]) |

If it is more clear, this can be made into a statement. Alternate translation: “ah, Yahweh, this is what I said when I was still in my own country” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]]) |
| 114 | JON | 4 | 2 | ab79 | figs-explicit | יְהוָה֙ הֲלוֹא־זֶ֣ה דְבָרִ֗י עַד־הֱיוֹתִי֙ עַל־אַדְמָתִ֔י | 1 | Yahweh, was this not my word while I was in my country? | What Jonah said when he was back in his own country can be stated explicitly. Alternate translation: “now Yahweh, when I was still in my own country I knew that if I warned the people of Nineveh, they would repent, and you would not destroy them” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]) |
| 115 | JON | 4 | 2 | ab81 | figs-idiom | אֶ֤רֶךְ אַפַּ֨יִם֙ | 1 | long of nostrils | This is an idiom meaning that Yahweh does not get angry quickly. Alternate translation: “slow to get angry” or “very patient” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]) |
| 116 | JON | 4 | 2 | wl7j | figs-explicit | וְנִחָ֖ם עַל־הָרָעָֽה | 1 | and one who relents from evil | Here, **evil** refers to the physical destruction of the city of Nineveh and its people. It does not refer to moral evil. In this context, this phrase means that God feels sadness about causing bad things to happen to people who sin and he changes his mind when sinners repent of their sin.

Alternate translation: “and you feel sadness about causing disaster for sinners” or “and you decide not to punish sinners who repent” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]) |

| 119 | JON | 4 | 4 | ab83 | figs-explicit | הַהֵיטֵ֖ב חָ֥רָה לָֽךְ | 1 | Is it right that it burns to you? | The reason for Jonah’s anger can be made explicit. Alternate translation: “is it right for you to be angry that I did not destroy Nineveh” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]) |

| 123 | JON | 4 | 6 | t21k | לְהַצִּ֥יל ל֖וֹ מֵרָֽעָת֑וֹ | 1 | to rescue him from his evil | Here the term **evil** could mean two things (or both at the same time): (1) “discomfort” or “distress,” meaning the intense heat of the sun shining on Jonah’s head; or (2) “wrong,” meaning Jonah’s wrong attitude concerning God’s decision not to destroy Nineveh. If both meanings can be preserved, that is preferable. If not, you can choose an Alternate translation: “to protect Jonah from the heat of the sun” or “to save Jonah from his wrong attitude” | |
| 124 | JON | 4 | 7 | t7il | וַיְמַ֤ן הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ תּוֹלַ֔עַת | 1 | Then God appointed a worm | then God sent a worm | |

| 126 | JON | 4 | 7 | d16m | וַיִּיבָֽשׁ | 1 | and it withered | The plant became dry and died. Alternate translation: “so that the plant died” | |

| 130 | JON | 4 | 8 | u2pl | figs-synecdoche | עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ יוֹנָ֖ה | 1 | on the head of Jonah | This phrase may have a literal meaning or a figurative meaning. Perhaps Jonah felt the heat most on his head, or perhaps the phrase **the head of Jonah** is a synecdoche meaning Jonah’s entire body. Alternate translation: “on Jonah” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]]) |

| 136 | JON | 4 | 11 | jdr0 | grammar-connect-words-phrases | וַֽאֲנִי֙ | 1 | So as for me, | This expression, paired with **As for you** in verse 10, shows a comparison between Jonah’s attitude toward the plant and Yahweh’s attitude toward the people of Nineveh.
