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, ]
ヨナ魚の腹の中よりその神ヱホバに祈祷て
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)
曰けるは われ患難の中よりヱホバを呼びしに彼われこたへたまへり われ陰府の腹の中より呼はりしに汝わが聲を聽たまへり (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.
汝我を淵のうち海の中心に投いれたまひて海の水我を環り汝の波濤と巨浪すべて我上にながる
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!’
われ曰けるは我なんぢの目の前より逐れたれども復汝の聖殿を望まん
5 The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
水われを環りて 魂にも及ばんとし淵我をとりかこみ海草わが頭に纒へり
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.
われ山の根基にまで下れり 地の關木いつも我うしろにありき しかるに我神ヱホバよ汝はわが命を深き穴より救ひあげたまへり
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.
わが靈魂衷に弱りしとき我ヱホバをおもへり しかしてわが祈なんぢに至りなんぢの聖殿におよべり
8 All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
いつはりなる虚き者につかふるものは自己の恩たる者を棄つ
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].”
されど我は感謝の聲をもて汝に獻祭をなし 又わが誓願をなんぢに償さん 救はヱホバより出るなりと
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.
ヱホバ其魚に命じたまひければヨナを陸に吐出せり
