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, ]
Und Jonah betete zu Jehovah, seinem Gotte, aus dem Leib des Fisches,
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)
Und sprach: Ich rief aus meiner Drangsal zu Jehovah, und Er antwortete mir; aus dem Bauche der Hölle habe ich aufgeschrien, Du hörtest meine Stimme. (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.
Und Du warfst mich in den Schlund, in das Herz der Meere, und eine Strömung umgab mich, all Deine Brandungen und deine Wogen gingen über mich hin.
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!’
Und ich sprach: Ich bin aus Deinen Augen vertrieben, doch werde ich wiederum den Tempel Deiner Heiligkeit erblicken.
5 The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
Die Wasser umfingen mich bis an die Seele, mich umgab der Abgrund, Schilf war mir um mein Haupt umgebunden.
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.
Ich sank hinunter zu der Berge Gründe, die Erde - ihre Riegel waren um mich ewiglich. Du aber hast mein Leben aus der Grube heraufgebracht, Jehovah, mein Gott.
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.
Da meine Seele verzagte ob mir, gedachte ich an Jehovah, und mein Gebet kam zu Dir zum Tempel Deiner Heiligkeit.
8 All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
Die zu der Eitelkeit Nichtigem halten, verlassen ihre Barmherzigkeit.
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].”
Ich aber will Dir mit der Stimme des Bekenntnisses opfern. Was ich gelobt habe, will ich entrichten. Das Heil ist bei Jehovah.
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.
Und Jehovah sprach zu dem Fisch, und er spie den Jonah aus an das Trockene.
