Jonah 2
1 Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.
2 And he said, I called from the midst of my distress unto the Lord, and he hath answered me: out of the depth of the grave have I cried, and thou hast heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
On reče: “Iz nevolje svoje zavapih Jahvi, i on me usliša; iz utrobe Podzemlja zazvah, i ti si mi čuo glas. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou hast cast me into the deep, in the heart of the seas; and the stream compasseth me about: all thy billows and thy waves have passed over me.
Ti me baci moru u dubine, i voda me opteče. Sve poplave tvoje i valovi oboriše se na me.
4 And I thought indeed, I am driven out from before thy eyes: yet I again shall look toward thy holy temple.
Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.
5 The waters surrounded me, to the peril of my life; the deep compassed me about: sea-weeds were bound about my head.
Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,
6 To the bottoms of the mountains did I go down; the earth [closed] her bars about me for ever: when thou broughtest up my life from the pit, O Lord my God!
siđoh do korijena planina. Nada mnom se zatvoriše zauvijek zasuni zemljini. Al' ti iz jame izvadi život moj, o Jahve, Bože moj.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
Samo što ne izdahnuh kad se spomenuh Jahve, i molitva se moja k tebi vinula, prema svetom Hramu tvojemu.
8 They that guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed will I pay; [for] help is with the Lord.
A ja ću ti s pjesmom zahvalnicom žrtvu prinijeti. Što se zavjetovah, ispunit ću. Spasenje je od Gospoda.”
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu.
