Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
約納在魚腹裏，祈求上主，他的天主。
2 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)
他說：「我在患難中，呼求上主，衪便應允了我，我從陰府的深處呼求，你便俯聽了我的呼聲。 (Sheol h7585)
3 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.
你將我拋入海心深處，大水包圍了我；你的波濤和巨浪漫過了我。
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
我曾說：我雖從你面前被拋棄，但我仍要瞻仰你的聖殿。
5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
大水圍困我，危及卜性命；深淵包圍我，海草纏住我的頭。
6 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.
我下深直到礁底，大地的門閂永為我關閉。上主，卜天主! 你卻從坑裏救出了我的性命。
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
當我奄奄一息時，我記起了上主；我的祈禱達於你前，達於你的聖殿中。
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
敬奉虛無偶像的人，實在是捨棄了慈愛的根源。
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
至於我，我要在頌謝的歌聲中，向你獻祭，償還我許的誓願。救恩屬於上主! 」
10 And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
當時，上主命令那魚，那魚便將約納吐在陸地上。
