Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
Yunus balığın karnından Tanrısı RAB'be şöyle dua etti:
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 RAB, sıkıntı içinde sana yakardım, Yanıtladın beni. Yardım istedim ölüler diyarının bağrından, Kulak verdin sesime. (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.
Beni engine, denizin ta dibine fırlattın. Sular sardı çevremi. Azgın dalgalar geçti üzerimden.
4 And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
‘Huzurundan kovuldum’ dedim, ‘Yine de göreceğim kutsal tapınağını.’
5 The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
Sular boğacak kadar kuşattı beni, Çevremi enginler sardı, Yosunlar dolaştı başıma.
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.
Dağların köklerine kadar battım, Dünya sonsuza dek sürgülendi arkamdan; Ama, ya RAB, Tanrım, Canımı sen kurtardın çukurdan.
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.
Soluğum tükenince seni andım, ya RAB, Duam sana, kutsal tapınağına erişti.
8 The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
Değersiz putlara tapanlar, Vefasızlık etmiş olurlar.
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.
Ama şükranla kurban sunacağım sana, Adağımı yerine getireceğim. Kurtuluş senden gelir, ya RAB!”
10 And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
RAB balığa buyruk verdi ve balık Yunus'u karaya kustu.
