Jonah 2

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

Jahve zapovjedi velikoj ribi da proguta Jonu. Tri dana i tri noći ostade Jona u ribljoj utrobi.

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.

Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.

2:3

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.

On reče: "Iz nevolje svoje zavapih Jahvi, i on me usliša; iz utrobe Podzemlja zazvah, i ti si mi čuo glas.

2:4

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

Ti me baci moru u dubine, i voda me opteče. Sve poplave tvoje i valovi oboriše se na me.

2:5

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

Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.

2:6

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.

Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,

2:7

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

siđoh do korijena planina. Nada mnom se zatvoriše zauvijek zasuni zemljini. Al' ti iz jame izvadi život moj, o Jahve, Bože moj.

2:8

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Samo što ne izdahnuh kad se spomenuh Jahve, i molitva se moja k tebi vinula, prema svetom Hramu tvojemu.

2:9

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

Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.

2:10

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

A ja ću ti s pjesmom zahvalnicom žrtvu prinijeti. Što se zavjetovah, ispunit ću. Spasenje je od Gospoda." [ (Jonah 2:11) Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu. ]
