Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the fish's stomach.
Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.
2 He said, “I called out to Yahweh about my distress and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried out for help! You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
On reče: “Iz nevolje svoje zavapih Jahvi, i on me usliša; iz utrobe Podzemlja zazvah, i ti si mi čuo glas. (Sheol h7585)
3 You had thrown me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the currents surrounded me; all your waves and billows passed over me.
Ti me baci moru u dubine, i voda me opteče. Sve poplave tvoje i valovi oboriše se na me.
4 I said, 'I am driven out from before your eyes; yet I will again look toward your holy temple.'
Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.
5 The waters closed around me up to my neck; the deep was all around me; seaweed wrapped around my head.
Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,
6 I went down to the bases of the mountains; the earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh, my God!
siđoh do korijena planina. Nada mnom se zatvoriše zauvijek zasuni zemljini. Al' ti iz jame izvadi život moj, o Jahve, Bože moj.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I called Yahweh to mind; then my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
Samo što ne izdahnuh kad se spomenuh Jahve, i molitva se moja k tebi vinula, prema svetom Hramu tvojemu.
8 They give attention to useless gods while they forsake loving faithfulness.
Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.
9 But as for me, I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving; I will fulfill that which I have vowed. Salvation comes from Yahweh!”
A ja ću ti s pjesmom zahvalnicom žrtvu prinijeti. Što se zavjetovah, ispunit ću. Spasenje je od Gospoda.”
10 Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited up Jonah upon the dry land.
Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu.
