Jona 2
1 Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.
Jonah prayed to 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 said: I cried out of my distress, to the Lord and he answered me; out of the midst of Sheol I cried aloud, and you 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 you cast me into the deep, into heart of the seas, and the great flood rolled about me; all your breakers and your waves passed over me.
4 Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.
Then I said, I am driven out, away from your sight; How will I ever again look towards your holy temple?
5 Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,
The waters surrounded me, the great deep engulfed me, the sea weeds were wrapped 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.
I went down to the roots of the mountains; the prison of the earth closed over me forever. Yet you brought up my life from destruction, O Lord my God.
7 Samo što ne izdahnuh kad se spomenuh Jahve, i molitva se moja k tebi vinula, prema svetom Hramu tvojemu.
As my life slipped away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer reached you, in your holy temple.
8 Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.
Those who worship worthless idols 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 will sacrifice to you with loud thanksgiving! I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is the Lord’s.
10 Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu.
And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it threw up Jonah upon the dry land.
