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.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 1 of Jonah. God causes a great storm while Jonah remains asleep inside the ship. The scene introduces a characteristic irony of the book: the prophet who knows the Creator God remains passive, while the pagan sailors react to the danger.

Und die Schiffsleute fürchteten sich und schrieen, ein jeglicher zu seinem Gott, und warfen das Gerät, das im Schiff war, ins Meer, daß es leichter würde. Aber Jona war hinunter in das Schiff gestiegen, lag und schlief.
Y los marineros tuvieron miedo, y cada uno llamaba a su dios: y echaron a la mar los enseres que había en la nave, para descargarla de ellos. Jonás empero se había bajado a los lados del buque, y se había echado a dormir.
Les mariniers eurent peur, ils implorèrent chacun leur dieu, et ils jetèrent dans la mer les objets qui étaient sur le navire, afin de le rendre plus léger. Jonas descendit au fond du navire, se coucha, et s'endormit profondément.
E i marinai temettero, e gridarono ciascuno al suo dio, e gettarono gli arredi ch’erano nella nave in mare, per alleviarsene. Or Giona era sceso nel fondo della nave, e giaceva, ed era profondamente addormentato.
Então temeram os marinheiros, e clamavam cada um ao seu deus, e lançaram ao mar as cargas, que estavam no navio, para o aliviarem do seu peso; Jonas, porém, desceu ao porão do navio, e, tendo-se deitado, dormia um profundo sono.
水手都懼怕,各人哀求自己的神明。他們把船上的貨物拋進海裏,為要減輕載重。 約拿 卻下到艙底,躺臥沉睡。
