Jonah 2

فَصَلَّى يُونَانُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِهِ مِنْ جَوْفِ الْحُوتِ،

Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

وَقَالَ: «دَعَوْتُ مِنْ ضِيقِي الرَّبَّ، فَاسْتَجَابَنِي. صَرَخْتُ مِنْ جَوْفِ الْهَاوِيَةِ، فَسَمِعْتَ صَوْتِي.

And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

لأَنَّكَ طَرَحْتَنِي فِي الْعُمْقِ فِي قَلْبِ الْبِحَارِ، فَأَحَاطَ بِي نَهْرٌ. جَازَتْ فَوْقِي جَمِيعُ تَيَّارَاتِكَ وَلُجَجِكَ.

For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ طُرِدْتُ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيْكَ. وَلكِنَّنِي أَعُودُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِكَ.

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

قَدِ اكْتَنَفَتْنِي مِيَاهٌ إِلَى النَّفْسِ. أَحَاطَ بِي غَمْرٌ. الْتَفَّ عُشْبُ الْبَحْرِ بِرَأْسِي.

The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

نَزَلْتُ إِلَى أَسَافِلِ الْجِبَالِ. مَغَالِيقُ الأَرْضِ عَلَيَّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. ثُمَّ أَصْعَدْتَ مِنَ الْوَهْدَةِ حَيَاتِي أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهِي.

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

حِينَ أَعْيَتْ فِيَّ نَفْسِي ذَكَرْتُ الرَّبَّ، فَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْكَ صَلاَتِي إِلَى هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِكَ.

When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

اَلَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ أَبَاطِيلَ كَاذِبَةً يَتْرُكُونَ نِعْمَتَهُمْ.

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِصَوْتِ الْحَمْدِ أَذْبَحُ لَكَ، وَأُوفِي بِمَا نَذَرْتُهُ. لِلرَّبِّ الْخَلاَصُ».

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ الْحُوتَ فَقَذَفَ يُونَانَ إِلَى الْبَرِّ.

And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
