Jona 2
1 Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
2 On reče: “Iz nevolje svoje zavapih Jahvi, i on me usliša; iz utrobe Podzemlja zazvah, i ti si mi čuo glas. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, I called because of my affliction to Jehovah, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ti me baci moru u dubine, i voda me opteče. Sve poplave tvoje i valovi oboriše se na me.
For thou 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 Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,
The waters encompassed me around, even to the soul. The deep was round about me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 siđoh do korijena planina. Nada mnom se zatvoriše zauvijek zasuni zemljini. Al' ti iz jame izvadi život moj, o Jahve, Bože moj.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 Samo što ne izdahnuh kad se spomenuh Jahve, i molitva se moja k tebi vinula, prema svetom Hramu tvojemu.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.
8 Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.
Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 A ja ću ti s pjesmom zahvalnicom žrtvu prinijeti. Što se zavjetovah, ispunit ću. Spasenje je od Gospoda.”
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu.
And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
