Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
Dari dalam perut ikan itu, Yunus berdoa kepada TUHAN Allahnya. Katanya,
2 In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. (Sheol h7585)
"Ya TUHAN, dalam kesusahanku aku berseru kepada-Mu dan Engkau menjawab aku. Dari dunia orang mati aku mohon pertolongan, permohonanku Kaudengar dan Kauperhatikan. (Sheol h7585)
3 For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
Ke tempat yang dalam aku Kaulemparkan, sampai ke dasar lautan. Di sana arus air mengelilingi aku, ombak dan gelombang menghempaskan aku.
4 And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
Dalam hatiku aku berkata: TUHAN sudah mengusir aku ini dari hadapan-Nya. Tak akan aku melihat lagi rumah kediaman-Nya yang suci.
5 The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
Air laut naik sampai ke bibirku, samudra raya meliputi seluruh tubuhku, ganggang laut membelit kepalaku.
6 I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.
Aku terjun sampai ke dasar pegunungan, ke alam yang gerbangnya terkunci hingga akhir zaman. Nyawaku letih lesu di dalam diriku, lalu aku ingat dan berseru kepada-Mu. Maka sampailah doaku kepada-Mu, ke dalam Rumah-Mu yang kudus. Lalu Kaunaikkan aku dari dalam laut, ya TUHAN Allahku!
7 When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
8 The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
Para penyembah berhala yang sia-sia, meninggalkan Engkau dan tak lagi setia.
9 But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.
Tetapi aku akan nyanyikan puji-pujian bagi-Mu dan kupersembahkan kurban untuk-Mu. Segala janjiku akan kulakukan. Engkaulah TUHAN yang menyelamatkan."
10 And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
Kemudian, atas perintah TUHAN, ikan itu memuntahkan Yunus ke daratan.
