約拿書 2
1 約拿在魚腹中禱告耶和華－他的上帝，
Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.
And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, [And] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 你將我投下深淵， 就是海的深處； 大水環繞我， 你的波浪洪濤都漫過我身。
For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
4 我說：我從你眼前雖被驅逐， 我仍要仰望你的聖殿。
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 諸水環繞我，幾乎淹沒我； 深淵圍住我； 海草纏繞我的頭。
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 我下到山根， 地的門將我永遠關住。 耶和華－我的上帝啊， 你卻將我的性命從坑中救出來。
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars [closed] upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 我心在我裏面發昏的時候， 我就想念耶和華。 我的禱告進入你的聖殿， 達到你的面前。
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
8 那信奉虛無之神的人， 離棄憐愛他們的主；
They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
9 但我必用感謝的聲音獻祭與你。 我所許的願，我必償還。 救恩出於耶和華。
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 耶和華吩咐魚，魚就把約拿吐在旱地上。
And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
