Melitza: “Go, go, go to the great Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up, before me.”
Tenor: Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa.
Where he found a ship moored to that port.
After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD.
Melitza: Then the LORD sent a great wind over the sea, and such a violent storm.
Melitza & Tenor: All the sailors were afraid and each one cried out to their own god. And they threw the load into the sea…
But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lied down and fell asleep. The captain went unto him and said,
Tenor: How can you sleep?
Melitza: Get up and call on your god! For us not to perish.
“Come; let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.” They did it and fortune fell on Jonah. “Tell us, who is responsible for putting all this trouble on us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from?
Tenor: “I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
Melitza: “What have you done? What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”
Tenor: “Pick me up and throw me into the sea, and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”
Melitza & Tenor: “Please, LORD, don't let us perish for taking this man's life. Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard.
Melitza: Then, the LORD provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah stayed there three days and three nights in the belly of the fish.
Melitza: From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God.
Tenor: “In my distress I called the LORD,
and he answered me.
From the depths of the realm of the dead I called for help,
and you listened to my cry!
Melitza & Tenor: But you, LORD my God,
brought my life up from the pit.
Tenor: But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
will sacrifice myself to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the LORD'.
Melitza: And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
