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, ]
Dari dalam perut ikan itu, Yunus berdoa kepada Allah-nya.
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)
Katanya, “Ya TUHAN, seperti penulis Mazmur berkata, ‘Waktu aku dalam kesusahan besar, aku berseru kepada-Mu minta tolong, dan Engkau sudah menjawab aku! Ketika aku berada jauh dan seperti sudah dalam kuburan, aku berseru kepada-Mu, dan Engkau pernah mendengar seruanku dan menyelamatkanku. (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.
Engkau sudah melemparkan aku di tengah laut yang paling dalam. Di sana arus air semuanya sudah mengelilingi aku. Ombak dan gelombang— yang Engkau kirim, menenggelamkan aku ke bawah.
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!’
Aku pikir Engkau sudah mengusir aku jauh dari hadapan-Mu, dan bagaimana mungkin aku melihat lagi Rumah-Mu yang kudus di Yerusalem?
5 The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
Lautan luas menutupi seluruh tubuhku! Air laut menenggelamkan aku, dan rumput laut seolah-olah sudah melilit kepalaku.
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.
Aku tenggelam sampai ke bagian paling dasar dari gunung-gunung yang berada di bawah laut. Seolah-olah pintu gerbang dunia orang mati sudah terkunci dan aku dipenjarakan di sana untuk selama-lamanya. Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, sudah menyelamatkanku dari liang kuburku dan memberikan hidupku kembali.
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.
Ketika aku semakin melemah dan hampir mati, aku teringat kepada-Mu, dan doaku sampai kepada-Mu, ke dalam Rumah-Mu yang kudus.
8 All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
Sia-sia saja ketika orang-orang menyembah berhala-berhala, karena mereka meninggalkan Engkau yang mengasihi mereka dengan setia.
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].”
Tetapi aku akan menyanyikan syukur dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada-Mu. Semua janjiku pasti aku akan lakukan, ya TUHAN Penyelamatku!’”
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.
Kemudian TUHAN memerintahkan ikan itu supaya memuntahkan Yunus ke darat.
