ヨナ書 2
1 ヨナ魚の腹の中よりその神ヱホバに祈祷て
Then prayed Jonah, unto Yahweh, his God, —out of the belly of the fish;
and said—I cried—out of my distress—unto Yahweh, and he answered me, —Out of the belly of hades, called I, Thou didst hear my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 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
For thou hast cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and, a flood, enveloped me, —All thy breakers and thy rolling waves, over me, passed.
4 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
And, I, said, I am driven out from before thine eyes, —Yet will I again have regard unto thy holy temple:
5 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
The waters, encompassed me, to the peril of my life, The roaring deep, enveloped me, —The sea-weed, was wrapped about my head:
6 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
To the roots of the mountains, went I down, As for the earth, her bars, were about me, age-abidingly, —Then didst thou bring up—out of the pit—my life, O Yahweh my God.
7 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
When my soul, darkened itself over me, Yahweh, I remembered, —and my prayer, came in unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 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
They who take heed to the vanities of falsehood, do, their own lovingkindness, forsake.
9 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
But, I, with the voice of praise, will sacrifice unto thee, What I have vowed, I will pay, —Salvation, belongeth to Yahweh!
10 ヱホバ其魚に命じたまひければヨナを陸に吐出せり
So then Yahweh spake unto the fish, —and it vomited out Jonah, upon the dry land.
