约拿书 2
1 约拿在鱼腹中祷告耶和华—他的 神，
And Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish.
And he said: “I cried out to the Lord from my tribulation, and he heeded me. From the belly of hell, I cried out, and you heeded my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 你将我投下深渊， 就是海的深处； 大水环绕我， 你的波浪洪涛都漫过我身。
And you have thrown me into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood has encircled me. All your whirlpools and your waves have passed over me.
4 我说：我从你眼前虽被驱逐， 我仍要仰望你的圣殿。
And I said: I am expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again.
5 诸水环绕我，几乎淹没我； 深渊围住我； 海草缠绕我的头。
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head.
6 我下到山根， 地的门将我永远关住。 耶和华—我的 神啊， 你却将我的性命从坑中救出来。
I descended to the base of the mountains. The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever. And you will raise up my life from corruption, Lord, my God.
7 我心在我里面发昏的时候， 我就想念耶和华。 我的祷告进入你的圣殿， 达到你的面前。
When my soul was in anguish within me, I called to mind the Lord, so that my prayer might come to you, to your holy temple.
8 那信奉虚无之神的人， 离弃怜爱他们的主；
Those who in vain observe vanities, abandon their own mercy.
9 但我必用感谢的声音献祭与你。 我所许的愿，我必偿还。 救恩出于耶和华。
But I, with a voice of praise, will sacrifice to you. I will repay whatever I have vowed to the Lord, because of my salvation.”
10 耶和华吩咐鱼，鱼就把约拿吐在旱地上。
And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
