< Jonah 2 >
1 Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.
ヨナ魚の腹の中よりその神ヱホバに祈祷て
2 And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, [And] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol )
曰けるは われ患難の中よりヱホバを呼びしに彼われこたへたまへり われ陰府の腹の中より呼はりしに汝わが聲を聽たまへり (Sheol )
3 For thou didst 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.
汝我を淵のうち海の中心に投いれたまひて海の水我を環り汝の波濤と巨浪すべて我上にながる
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
われ曰けるは我なんぢの目の前より逐れたれども復汝の聖殿を望まん
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
水われを環りて 魂にも及ばんとし淵我をとりかこみ海草わが頭に纒へり
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars [closed] upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
われ山の根基にまで下れり 地の關木いつも我うしろにありき しかるに我神ヱホバよ汝はわが命を深き穴より救ひあげたまへり
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
わが靈魂衷に弱りしとき我ヱホバをおもへり しかしてわが祈なんぢに至りなんぢの聖殿におよべり
8 They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
いつはりなる虚き者につかふるものは自己の恩たる者を棄つ
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
されど我は感謝の聲をもて汝に獻祭をなし 又わが誓願をなんぢに償さん 救はヱホバより出るなりと
10 And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
ヱホバ其魚に命じたまひければヨナを陸に吐出せり
