< Jonah 2 >

1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
فَصَلَّى يُونَانُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ مِنْ جَوْفِ ٱلْحُوتِ،١
2 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)
وَقَالَ: «دَعَوْتُ مِنْ ضِيقِي ٱلرَّبَّ، فَٱسْتَجَابَنِي. صَرَخْتُ مِنْ جَوْفِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، فَسَمِعْتَ صَوْتِي. (Sheol h7585)٢
3 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.
لِأَنَّكَ طَرَحْتَنِي فِي ٱلْعُمْقِ فِي قَلْبِ ٱلْبِحَارِ، فَأَحَاطَ بِي نَهْرٌ. جَازَتْ فَوْقِي جَمِيعُ تَيَّارَاتِكَ وَلُجَجِكَ.٣
4 And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ طُرِدْتُ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيْكَ. وَلَكِنَّنِي أَعُودُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِكَ.٤
5 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
قَدِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي مِيَاهٌ إِلَى ٱلنَّفْسِ. أَحَاطَ بِي غَمْرٌ. ٱلْتَفَّ عُشْبُ ٱلْبَحْرِ بِرَأْسِي.٥
6 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.
نَزَلْتُ إِلَى أَسَافِلِ ٱلْجِبَالِ. مَغَالِيقُ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَيَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ثُمَّ أَصْعَدْتَ مِنَ ٱلْوَهْدَةِ حَيَاتِي أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي.٦
7 When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
حِينَ أَعْيَتْ فِيَّ نَفْسِي ذَكَرْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْكَ صَلَاتِي إِلَى هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِكَ.٧
8 They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
اَلَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ أَبَاطِيلَ كَاذِبَةً يَتْرُكُونَ نِعْمَتَهُمْ.٨
9 But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِصَوْتِ ٱلْحَمْدِ أَذْبَحُ لَكَ، وَأُوفِي بِمَا نَذَرْتُهُ. لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْخَلَاصُ».٩
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
وَأَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْحُوتَ فَقَذَفَ يُونَانَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ.١٠
