Then they cried out to the Lord, Jonah’s God.“ O Lord,” they pleaded,“ don’t make us die for this man’s sin. And don’t hold us responsible for his death. O Lord, you have sent this storm upon him for your own good reasons.”

他们便求告耶和华说：“耶和华啊，我们恳求你，不要因这人的性命使我们死亡，不要使流无辜血的罪归与我们；因为你耶和华是随自己的意旨行事。”

于是他们求告耶和华说：“耶和华啊，求求你不要因这人的性命使我们灭亡，不要使流无辜人血的罪归给我们；因为你—耶和华随自己的旨意行事。”

于是他们求告耶和华说：“耶和华啊，求求你不要因这人的性命使我们灭亡，不要使流无辜人血的罪归给我们；因为你—耶和华随自己的旨意行事。”

他们只好呼求耶和华，说：“耶和华啊，求你不要因这个人的性命而毁灭我们，不要因我们杀害无辜的人而怪罪我们，因为你耶和华按自己的旨意行事。”

他们就呼求耶和华，说：“耶和华啊！我们恳求你，不要因这人叫我们丧命；不要把无辜人的血归在我们身上，因为你耶和华是照自己所喜悦的行事。”

他们就向耶和华呼求，说：“哦，耶和华啊，求你不要因这人性命的缘故使我们灭亡，不要把流无辜人血的罪归在我们身上！因为你，耶和华啊，是你照着你的意愿行了这事。”

他們便求告耶和華說：「耶和華啊，我們懇求你，不要因這人的性命使我們死亡，不要使流無辜血的罪歸與我們；因為你－耶和華是隨自己的意旨行事。」

於是他們求告耶和華說：「耶和華啊，求求你不要因這人的性命使我們滅亡，不要使流無辜人血的罪歸給我們；因為你－耶和華隨自己的旨意行事。」

於是他們求告耶和華說：「耶和華啊，求求你不要因這人的性命使我們滅亡，不要使流無辜人血的罪歸給我們；因為你－耶和華隨自己的旨意行事。」

他們只好呼求耶和華，說：「耶和華啊，求你不要因這個人的性命而毀滅我們，不要因我們殺害無辜的人而怪罪我們，因為你耶和華按自己的旨意行事。」

他們就呼求耶和華，說：“耶和華啊！我們懇求你，不要因這人叫我們喪命；不要把無辜人的血歸在我們身上，因為你耶和華是照自己所喜悅的行事。”

他們便呼求永恆主說：『哦永恆主啊，求你不要因這人的性命而使我們滅亡哦！不要使流無辜人之血的罪歸於我們哦！因為永恆主啊、是你照自己的旨意主動這事的。』

他們就向耶和華呼求，說：「哦，耶和華啊，求你不要因這人性命的緣故使我們滅亡，不要把流無辜人血的罪歸在我們身上！因為你，耶和華啊，是你照著你的意願行了這事。」

於是眾籲耶和華曰、耶和華歟、求爾勿為此人之命、使我淪亡、勿以無辜之血、歸於我儕、緣爾耶和華隨所欲而行、

遂禱耶和華曰、耶和華隨意而作、勿為斯人、使我殞亡、如我擲之於海、勿視我若殺無辜。

遂呼籲主曰、求主莫為此人之命、使我死亡、莫以害無辜之罪歸我、蓋主隨意而行、

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, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.”

Then they cried out to the Lord. They prayed,“ Please, Lord, don’t let us die for taking this man’s life. After all, he might not be guilty of doing anything wrong. So don’t hold us responsible for killing him. Lord, you always do what you want to.”

Therefore they called out to the Lord,“ O Lord, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not on us innocent blood, for you, O Lord, have done as it pleased you.”

So they called out to the LORD,“ Please, LORD, don’t let us perish because of this man’s life, and don’t charge us with innocent blood! For you, LORD, have done just as you pleased.”

Then they cried out to the Lord and said,“ We earnestly pray, O Lord, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life, and do not put innocent blood on us; for You, Lord, have done as You pleased.”

Therefore they cried out to the Lord and said,“ We pray, O Lord, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O Lord, have done as it pleased You.”

Wherefore they cried unto Jehovah, and said, We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood; for thou, O Jehovah, hast done as it pleased thee.

So they called out to the Lord:“ Please, Yahweh, don’t let us perish because of this man’s life, and don’t charge us with innocent blood! For You, Yahweh, have done just as You pleased.”

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.

So they cried out to the LORD,“ Oh, please, LORD, don’t let us die on account of this man! Don’t hold us guilty of shedding innocent blood. After all, you, LORD, have done just as you pleased.”

Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said,“ We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you.”

Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.

O Lord, forgive your people Israel whom you have redeemed. Do not charge your people with the guilt of murdering an innocent person.’ Then they will be absolved of the guilt of this person’s blood.

The Lord does whatever pleases him throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths.

“ Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.

The sailors were awestruck by the Lord’s great power, and they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him.

“ After this time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever. His rule is everlasting, and his kingdom is eternal.All the people of the earth are nothing compared to him. He does as he pleases among the angels of heaven and among the people of the earth. No one can stop him or say to him,‘ What do you mean by doing these things?’

Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!

Fearing for their lives, the desperate sailors shouted to their gods for help and threw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship. But all this time Jonah was sound asleep down in the hold.

The people of the island saw it hanging from his hand and said to each other,“ A murderer, no doubt! Though he escaped the sea, justice will not permit him to live.”

Lord, in distress we searched for you. We prayed beneath the burden of your discipline.

If anyone takes a human life, that person’s life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in his own image.

God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ— which is to fulfill his own good plan.

Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
