Jona 2
1 Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.
And Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish.
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 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 Ti me baci moru u dubine, i voda me opteče. Sve poplave tvoje i valovi oboriše se na me.
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 Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.
And I said: I am expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again.
5 Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered 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 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 Samo što ne izdahnuh kad se spomenuh Jahve, i molitva se moja k tebi vinula, prema svetom Hramu tvojemu.
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 Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.
Those who in vain observe vanities, abandon their own mercy.
9 A ja ću ti s pjesmom zahvalnicom žrtvu prinijeti. Što se zavjetovah, ispunit ću. Spasenje je od Gospoda.”
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 Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu.
And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
