Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
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)
And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. (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.
And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
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.
I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
10 And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
