Jonas

The word came to Jonah, saying: Rise up, my servant, and goA Jonas veio a palavra dizendo: Levante meu servo e vai
To the great city of Nineveh, and proclaim peace!Á grande cidade de Nínive, e anuncia a paz!
But he was terrified and refused to obey GodMas ele atemorizado, não quis a Deus obedecer
Taking the opposite path, saying: God will understandTomando o destino contrário, dizendo: Deus vai compreender
The people there are brave, and I don't want to die!O povo de lá é valente, e eu não quero morrer!

But the sea became rough, and the ship almost sank!Mas, o mar se agitou, e o navio, quase afundou!
And the sailors threw the ship lightly, relieving its weightE os marinheiros jogaram ligeiro, aliviando o peso daquele navio
But Jonah, being the one to blame, was lying down and even fell asleep!Mas Jonas folgado sendo o culpado, estava deitado e até dormiu!

They sent for Jonah, who was sleeping in the cellarMandaram chamar á Jonas, que estava no porão dormindo
And he ended up confessing that he was running awayE terminou confessando, que ele estava fugindo
And he said, Throw me into the sea, and everything will be alrightE disse: Me jogue no mar, e ficará tudo bem
There's no need to rely on luck anymore, and no need to blame anyone!Não precisa lançar mais sorte, e nem culpar a ninguém!
When they threw the ball, the sea calmed down, see the power that God has!Quando jogaram, o mar acalmou, veja o poder que Deus tem!

But a fish swallowed him, and for three days he did not see the Sun!Mas, um peixe o engoliu, e por três dias, o Sol ele não viu!
After being thrown onto the beach of Nineveh, Jonah, repentant, preachedDepois foi jogado na praia de Nínive, arrependido Jonas pregou
The king who was brave, whom Jonah feared, turned to God in humility and tears!O rei que era bravo que Jonas temeu, chorando humilhado a Deus converteu!
