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, ]
E orou Jonas ao Senhor, seu Deus, das entranhas do peixe.
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)
E disse: Da minha angustia clamei ao Senhor, e elle me respondeu; do ventre do inferno gritei, e tu ouviste a minha voz. (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.
Porque tu me lançaste no profundo, no coração dos mares, e a corrente me tem cercado; todas as tuas ondas e as tuas vagas teem passado por cima de mim.
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!’
E eu dizia: Lançado estou de diante dos teus olhos; todavia tornarei a ver o templo da tua sanctidade.
5 The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
As aguas me cercaram até á alma, o abysmo me rodeou, e a alga se embrulhava á minha cabeça.
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.
Eu desci até aos fundamentos dos montes: os ferrolhos da terra me encerrariam para sempre; mas tu fizeste subir a minha vida da perdição, ó Senhor meu Deus.
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.
Desfallecendo em mim a minha alma, me lembrei do Senhor; e entrou a ti a minha oração, no templo da tua sanctidade.
8 All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
Os que observam as vaidades vãs deixam a sua propria misericordia.
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].”
Mas eu te sacrificarei com a voz do agradecimento; o que votei pagarei: do Senhor vem a salvação.
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.
Fallou pois o Senhor ao peixe: e vomitou a Jonas na terra.
