Maori Bible
1 Na i puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hona, tama a Amitai, i mea,
2 Whakatika, haere ki Ninewe, ki taua pa nui, karangatia he he mona; kua tae ake hoki to ratou kino ki toku aroaro.
3 Ko Hona ia i whakatika, he rere ki Tarahihi i te aroaro o Ihowa; haere ana ia ki raro, ki Hopa, a ka kitea e ia tetahi kaipuke e rere ana ki Tarahihi: ka hoatu e ia te utu mo te ekenga ki runga, kia haere atu ai ia i roto i a ratou ki Tarahihi i te aroaro o Ihowa.
4 Na ka tukua e Ihowa he hau nui ki te moana, a he nui te awha i te moana, no ka kiia ka pakaru te kaipuke.
5 Na ka wehi nga kaiwhakatere, ka karanga ki tona atua, ki tona atua; a akiritia ana e ratou nga taonga o runga o te kaipuke ki te moana kia mama ai ki a ratou. Ko Hona ia kua riro ki roto rawa i te kaipuke, a ka takoto ia, ka moe, au rawa.
6 Na ko te haerenga atu o te rangatira o te kaipuke, ka mea ki a ia, He aha tau, e te tangata e moe na? maranga, karanga ki tou Atua, me kahore te Atua e whakaaro ki a tatou, kei ngaro tatou.
7 Na ka mea ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, Haere mai, kia makamaka rota tatou, kia mohio ai ko wai te take o tenei he ki a tatou. Na kei te makamaka rota ratou, a ka tau te rota ki a Hona.
8 Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Tena ra, whakaaturia ki a matou ko wai te take o tenei he ki a tatou? he mahi aha tau? i haere mai koe i hea? Ko hea tou whenua? no tehea iwi koe?
9 Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, He Hiperu ahau; e wehi ana hoki ahu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o nga rangi, nana nei i hanga te moana me te whenua maroke.
10 Na nui atu te wehi i wehi ai aua tangata, ka mea ratou ki a ia, He aha tenei i meatia nei e koe? I mohio hoki aua tangata e rere ana ia i te aroaro o Ihowa, nana hoki i whakaatu ki a ratou.
11 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Me aha matou ki a koe, kia marino ai te moana ki a tatou? e nui haere ana hoki te ngaru o te moana.
12 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Hapainga ake ahau, maka ki te moana; katahi ka marino te moana ki a koutou; e mohio ana hoki ahau he whakaaro ki ahau i puta mai ai tenei paroro ki a koutou.
13 Heoi hoe tonu aua tangata kia u ai ratou ki uta; otiia kihai i taea: e nui haere ana hoki te ngaru o te moana hei arai i a ratou.
14 Katahi aua tangata ka karanga ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Aue, e Ihowa, kaua ra matou e whakangaromia hei utu mo te matenga o tenei tangata: kaua ano e utaina he toto harakore ki runga ki a matou: kua mahia na hoki e koe, e Ihowa, tau i pai ai.
15 Na hapainga ana a Hona e ratou, maka ana ki te moana: a mutu ake te riri o te moana.
16 Na he nui te wehi i wehi ai aua tangata i a Ihowa; patua iho e ratou he patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, puaki ana a ratou kupu taurangi.
17 Na kua rite mai i a Ihowa tetahi ika nui hei horo i a Hona. A e toru nga ra, e toru nga po o Hona i roto i te kopu o te ika.

Jonah Flees From the Lord
1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah(A) son of Amittai:(B) 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh(C) and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
3 But Jonah ran(D) away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish(E). He went down to Joppa,(F) where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.(G)
4 Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.(H) 5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship.(I)
But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call(J) on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.”(K)
7 Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.”(L) They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.(M) 8 So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?”
9 He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord,(N) the God of heaven,(O) who made the sea(P) and the dry land.(Q)”
10 This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.)
11 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”
12 “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”(R)
13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before.(S) 14 Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man,(T) for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.”(U) 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.(V) 16 At this the men greatly feared(W) the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows(X) to him.
Jonah’s Prayer
17 Now the Lord provided(Y) a huge fish to swallow Jonah,(Z) and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

King James Version
1 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
4 But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.
15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows.
17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
