Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
Potem je Jona iz ribjega trebuha molil h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu
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)
in rekel: »Zaradi razloga svoje stiske sem klical h Gospodu in me je slišal. Ven iz trebuha pekla sem klical in ti si slišal moj glas. (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.
Kajti vrgel si me v globino, v sredo morij, in poplave so me obkrožile. Vsi tvoji veliki valovi in tvoji valovi so me preleteli.«
4 And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
Potem sem rekel: »Vržen sem iz tvojega pogleda, vendar bom ponovno gledal k tvojemu svetemu templju.
5 The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
Vode so me obkrožile, celó do duše, globine so me zaprle naokoli, plevel je bil zavit okoli moje glave.
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.
Odšel sem navzdol, k vznožjem gora. Zemlja, s svojimi zapahi, je bila okoli mene na veke, vendar si ti moje življenje privedel gor iz trohnenja, oh Gospod, moj Bog.
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.
Ko je moja duša slabela znotraj mene, sem se spomnil Gospoda. Moja molitev je vstopila k tebi, v tvoj sveti tempelj.
8 The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
Tisti, ki obeležujejo lažnive ničevosti, zapuščajo svoje lastno usmiljenje.
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.
Toda jaz ti bom žrtvoval z glasom zahvaljevanja; plačal bom to, kar sem se zaobljubil. Rešitev duš je od Gospoda.«
10 And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
In Gospod je spregovoril ribi in izbljuvala je Jona na kopno zemljo.
