Jonah 2
1 Then prayed Jonah, unto Yahweh, his God, —out of the belly of the fish;
Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
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 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)
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 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.
4 And, I, said, I am driven out from before thine eyes, —Yet will I again have regard unto thy holy temple:
And I thought indeed, I am driven out from before thy eyes: yet I again shall look 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 surrounded me, to the peril of my life; the deep compassed me about: sea-weeds were bound about 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.
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!
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 the Lord: and my prayer came unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 They who take heed to the vanities of falsehood, do, their own lovingkindness, forsake.
They that guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
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 unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed will I pay; [for] help is with the Lord.
10 So then Yahweh spake unto the fish, —and it vomited out Jonah, upon the dry land.
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
