< Jonah 2 >
1 Then Jonah prayed unto YHWH his Elohim out of the fish's belly,
And he prayed Jonah to Yahweh God his from [the] inward parts of the fish.
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto YHWH, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. (Sheol )
And he said I called from distress of me to Yahweh and he answered me from [the] belly of Sheol I cried for help you heard voice my. (Sheol )
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
And you have thrown me [the] deep in [the] heart of [the] seas and a river it surrounds me all breakers your and waves your over me they have passed.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
And I I said I have been driven away from before eyes your nevertheless I will repeat to look to [the] temple of holiness your.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
They have encompassed me waters to [the] neck [the] deep it surrounds me rush[es] [is] wrapped round to head my.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O YHWH my Elohim.
To extremities of mountains I went down the earth bars its [were] behind me for ever and you brought up from [the] pit life my O Yahweh God my.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered YHWH: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
When fainted away on me life my Yahweh I remembered and it came to you prayer my to [the] temple of holiness your.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
[those who] pay regard Vanities of nothingness loyalty their they abandon.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of YHWH.
And I with a voice of thanksgiving I will sacrifice to you [that] which I have vowed I will fulfill rescue [belongs] to Yahweh.
10 And YHWH spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
