Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish.
And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
2 And he said: “I cried out to the Lord from my tribulation, and he heeded me. From the belly of hell, I cried out, and you heeded my voice. (Sheol h7585)
and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 And you have thrown me into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood has encircled me. All your whirlpools and your waves have passed over me.
For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
4 And I said: I am expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again.
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head.
The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I descended to the base of the mountains. The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever. And you will raise up my life from corruption, Lord, my God.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 When my soul was in anguish within me, I called to mind the Lord, so that my prayer might come to you, to your holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
8 Those who in vain observe vanities, abandon their own mercy.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I, with a voice of praise, will sacrifice to you. I will repay whatever I have vowed to the Lord, because of my salvation.”
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
