Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
Then prayed Jonah, unto Yahweh, 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 said—I cried—out of my distress—unto Yahweh, and he answered me, —Out of the belly of hades, called I, Thou didst hear 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.
For thou hast cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and, a flood, enveloped me, —All thy breakers and thy rolling waves, over me, passed.
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 driven out from before thine eyes, —Yet will I again have regard unto thy holy temple:
5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
The waters, encompassed me, to the peril of my life, The roaring deep, enveloped me, —The sea-weed, was wrapped about 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.
To the roots of the mountains, went I down, As for the earth, her bars, were about me, age-abidingly, —Then didst thou bring up—out of the pit—my life, O Yahweh 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, darkened itself over me, Yahweh, I remembered, —and my prayer, came in unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They who take heed to the vanities of falsehood, do, their own lovingkindness, forsake.
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 unto thee, What I have vowed, I will pay, —Salvation, belongeth to Yahweh!
10 And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
So then Yahweh spake unto the fish, —and it vomited out Jonah, upon the dry land.
