< Jona 2 >
1 Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
2 On reče: “Iz nevolje svoje zavapih Jahvi, i on me usliša; iz utrobe Podzemlja zazvah, i ti si mi čuo glas. (Sheol )
And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardst my voice. (Sheol )
3 Ti me baci moru u dubine, i voda me opteče. Sve poplave tvoje i valovi oboriše se na me.
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards thy holy temple.
5 Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,
The waters encompassed me, [even] to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the 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 bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, 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 to thee, into thy holy temple.
8 Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.
They that observe 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 the LORD.
10 Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu.
And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
