Targum Jonathan (ben Uzziel) (תרגום יונתן בן עוזיאל) is the official eastern (Babylonian) targum to the Nevi'im. Its early origins, however, are western i.e. from the Land of Israel. It is a looser paraphrase than the Targum Onkelos.
In Talmudic times (and to this day in Yemenite Jewish communities) Targum Jonathan was read as a verse-by-verse translation alternatively with the Hebrew verses of the haftarah in the synagogue.
The Talmud states that "a persion should complete his portions of scripture along with the community, reading the scripture twice and the targum once." (Berakhot 8a-b). This passage may be taken to refer to Targum Jonathan (as well as to Targum Onkelos).
