Jonah 2
1 Then prayed Jonah, unto Yahweh, his God, —out of the belly of the fish;
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
2 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)
And he said, I called because of my affliction to Jehovah, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 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.
For thou cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me. All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
4 And, I, said, I am driven out from before thine eyes, —Yet will I again have regard unto thy holy temple:
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters, encompassed me, to the peril of my life, The roaring deep, enveloped me, —The sea-weed, was wrapped about my head:
The waters encompassed me around, even to the soul. The deep was round about me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 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.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 When my soul, darkened itself over me, Yahweh, I remembered, —and my prayer, came in unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.
8 They who take heed to the vanities of falsehood, do, their own lovingkindness, forsake.
Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But, I, with the voice of praise, will sacrifice unto thee, What I have vowed, I will pay, —Salvation, belongeth to Yahweh!
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 So then Yahweh spake unto the fish, —and it vomited out Jonah, upon the dry land.
And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
