Jonah 2
1 Then prayed Jonah, unto Yahweh, his God, —out of the belly of the fish;
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's 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 said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardst 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 hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: all thy billows and thy waves 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:
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards 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, [even] to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped 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.
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 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 to thee, into thy holy temple.
8 They who take heed to the vanities of falsehood, do, their own lovingkindness, forsake.
They that observe 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 the LORD.
10 So then Yahweh spake unto the fish, —and it vomited out Jonah, upon the dry land.
And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
