Jonah 2
1 [While he was] inside the huge fish, Jonah prayed to Yahweh God, [whom] he [worshiped. After Yahweh told him that he would answer his prayer, ]
Et Jonas pria le Seigneur son Dieu, dans le ventre de la baleine.
2 Jonah said, “Yahweh, when I was greatly distressed [here], I prayed to you, and you heard what I [prayed]. When I was [about to descend way down into] the place where dead people go, you heard me when I called out [for you to help/save me]. (Sheol h7585)
Et il dit: J'ai crié dans ma tribulation au Seigneur mon Dieu, et Il m'a exaucé; mon cri est parti des entrailles de l'enfer, et Tu as écouté ma voix; (Sheol h7585)
3 You threw me [down] into the deep [water], into the bottom [DOU] of the sea. The currents of the sea swirled around me, and the huge waves crashed above me.
Tu m'as précipité au plus profond du cœur de la mer; et les fleuves m'ont enveloppé, et toutes tes grandes vagues, tous Tes flots ont passé sur moi.
4 Then I thought, ‘You have banished me, and I will never be able to enter your presence again. I will never see your holy temple [in Jerusalem] again!’
Et j'ai dit: C'est moi qui me suis éloigné de Tes yeux; me permettras-Tu de voir encore Ton saint temple?
5 The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
L'eau s'est répandue autour de moi, jusqu'à l'âme; l'abîme le plus profond m'a enclos, et ma tête a plongé
6 I sank down to where the mountains start rising [MET] [from the bottom of the sea]. I thought that forever [it would be as though] my body would be in a prison [MTY] [inside the earth] below me. But you, Yahweh God, whom I [worship], rescued me from going down to the place of the dead.
jusqu'aux racines des monts; je suis descendu sous la terre, dont les verrous sont des barrières éternelles. Seigneur mon Dieu, que la destruction de ma vie remonte à la surface des flots.
7 When I was almost dead [EUP], Yahweh, I (thought about/prayed to) you. You [heard] my prayer, up [there where] you [are, in] your holy temple.
En la défaillance de mon âme, je me suis souvenu de Toi, Seigneur; que ma prière arrive à Toi dans Ton saint temple!
8 All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
Ceux-là seuls qui s'attachent aux vanités et aux mensonges ont renoncé à Ta miséricorde.
9 But I will sing to thank [you], and I will offer a sacrifice to you. I will [surely] do what I have solemnly promised [to do]. Yahweh, you are the one who is [able to] save [us].”
Pour moi, je T'offrirai dans mes chants un sacrifice de louanges et d'admiration; je rendrai au Seigneur les vœux que je Lui ai faits pour mon salut.
10 Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
Et le Seigneur donna ordre à la baleine, et elle rejeta Jonas sur la terre ferme.
