Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish.
Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.
2 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)
On reče: “Iz nevolje svoje zavapih Jahvi, i on me usliša; iz utrobe Podzemlja zazvah, i ti si mi čuo glas. (Sheol h7585)
3 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.
Ti me baci moru u dubine, i voda me opteče. Sve poplave tvoje i valovi oboriše se na me.
4 And I — I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!)
Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.
5 Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head.
Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,
6 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.
siđoh do korijena planina. Nada mnom se zatvoriše zauvijek zasuni zemljini. Al' ti iz jame izvadi život moj, o Jahve, Bože moj.
7 In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy temple.
Samo što ne izdahnuh kad se spomenuh Jahve, i molitva se moja k tebi vinula, prema svetom Hramu tvojemu.
8 Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake.
Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.
9 And I — with a voice of thanksgiving — I sacrifice to Thee, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of Jehovah.
A ja ću ti s pjesmom zahvalnicom žrtvu prinijeti. Što se zavjetovah, ispunit ću. Spasenje je od Gospoda.”
10 And Jehovah saith to the fish, and it vomiteth out Jonah on the dry land.
Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu.
