 Terrors upon terrors run shouting through his soul.  他整个心灵真是吓上加吓闹个不停。


In all his cringing 1 attitudes, the God-fugitive is now too plainly known.  从他那畏畏缩缩的态度上,这个上帝的逃亡者现在是教人一看就看出来了。
The sailors mark him; more and more certain grow their suspicions of him, and at last, fully 2 to test the truth,  水手们都注意着他,对他的怀疑越来越肯定,最后,为了彻底弄清这个真相,
by referring the whole matter to high Heaven, they all-outward to casting lots, to see for whose cause this great tempest was upon them.  他们就把这整个事情都交给上天去解决了,他们掷着签,看看这场降临在他们身上的灾祸是谁惹出来的。
The lot is Jonah's; that discovered, then how furiously they mob him with their questions.  结果竟掷中了约拿;这样一来,真相大白,他们可多么气愤呀,大家都用一连串的问题来围攻他,
What is thine occupation? Whence comest thou? Thy country? What people?  你以何事为业,你从哪里来,你是哪国人,属于哪一族?
But mark now, my shipmates,the behavior of poor Jonah. The eager mariners 3 but ask him who he is, and where from;  不过,我的船友呀,现在请你们注意可怜的约拿的行为。
whereas, they not only receive an answer to those questions,  那些热切的水手不过是问他是什么人,从哪里来的;
but likewise another answer to a question not put by them, but the unsolicited answer is forced from Jonah by the hard hand of God that is upon him. 可他们不但得到了这些问题的回答,还得到了他们根本没有问他的问题的回答,不过,这些不打自招的回答却是上帝对约拿采取严厉手段迫出来的。
I am a Hebrew,he cries-and then-I fear the Lord the God of Heaven who hath made the sea and the dry land! 我是希伯来人,他哭了,接着又说我敬畏耶和华那创造沧海旱地之天上的上帝!
Fear him, O Jonah? Aye, well mightest thou fear the Lord God then! Straightway, he now goes on to make a full confession 4;  约拿呵,你敬畏他吗?哼,这么说来,你倒是很敬畏耶和华的了!于是,他直截了当地说下去,和盘托出了;
whereupon the mariners became more and more appalled 5, but still are pitiful.  这时水手们虽然越来越惊吓,却还是可怜他。
For when Jonah, not yet supplicating 6 God for mercy, since he but too well knew the darkness of his deserts,when wretched Jonah cries out to them to take him and cast him forth 7 into the sea, for he knew that for his sake this great tempest was upon them;  因为当时约拿虽然已经自知他那逃亡的罪恶,却还没有祈求上帝宽恕之意。等到可怜的约拿知道这场大风是因他而起,他对他们哭哭啼啼,要他们把他抛到海里去的时候,
they mercifully turn from him, and seek by other means to save the ship.  他们这才对他动了恻隐之心,想用别的办法来挽救这只船。
But all in vain; the indignant gale 8 howls louder; then, with one hand raised invokingly to God, with the other they not unreluctantly lay hold of Jonah. 但是,一切都是徒劳的;愤怒的大风号啸得更厉害了;于是,他们一方面仰天祈求上帝,一方面不无勉强地抓住约拿。
