καὶ ἰδού σεισμὸς μέγας ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ὥστε τὸ πλοῖον καλύπτεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων αὐτὸς δὲ ἐκάθευδεν
And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
וַיֹּאמֶר וַֽיַּעֲמֵד רוּחַ סְעָרָה וַתְּרוֹמֵם גַּלָּֽיו׃
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
μετ' οὐ πολὺ δὲ ἔβαλεν κατ' αὐτῆς ἄνεμος τυφωνικὸς ὁ καλούμενος Εὐροκλύδων·
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
וַֽיהוָה הֵטִיל רֽוּחַ-גְּדוֹלָה אֶל-הַיָּם וַיְהִי סַֽעַר-גָּדוֹל בַּיָּם וְהָאֳנִיָּה חִשְּׁבָה לְהִשָּׁבֵֽר׃
But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
