Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the fish's stomach.
And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish.
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)
And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah, And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried, Thou hast heard my voice. (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.
When Thou dost cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows have passed over me.
4 I said, 'I am driven out from before your eyes; yet I will again look toward your holy temple.'
And I — I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!)
5 The waters closed around me up to my neck; the deep was all around me; seaweed wrapped around my head.
Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head.
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!
To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars [are] behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from the pit my life, O Jehovah my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I called Yahweh to mind; then my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy temple.
8 They give attention to useless gods while they forsake loving faithfulness.
Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake.
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!”
And I — with a voice of thanksgiving — I sacrifice to Thee, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of Jehovah.
10 Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited up Jonah upon the dry land.
And Jehovah saith to the fish, and it vomiteth out Jonah on the dry land.
