Jona 2
1 Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.
Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of 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 called from the midst of my distress unto the Lord, and he hath answered me: out of the depth of the grave have I cried, and thou hast 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 hast cast me into the deep, in the heart of the seas; and the stream compasseth me about: all thy billows and thy waves have passed over me.
4 Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.
And I thought indeed, I am driven out from before thy eyes: yet I again shall look toward thy holy temple.
5 Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,
The waters surrounded me, to the peril of my life; the deep compassed me about: sea-weeds were bound about 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.
To the bottoms of the mountains did I go down; the earth [closed] her bars about me for ever: when thou broughtest up my life from the pit, O 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 fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.
They that guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
9 A ja ću ti s pjesmom zahvalnicom žrtvu prinijeti. Što se zavjetovah, ispunit ću. Spasenje je od Gospoda.”
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed will I pay; [for] help is with the Lord.
10 Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu.
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
