Jonas 2
1 E Jonas orou ao SENHOR seu Deus, desde as entranhas do peixe,
[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, ]
2 E disse: Clamei da minha angústia ao SENHOR, e ele me respondeu; do ventre do Xeol gritei, [e] tu ouviste minha voz. (Sheol h7585)
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)
3 Pois tu me lançaste no profundo, no meio dos mares, e a correnteza me cercou; todas as tuas ondas e tuas vagas passaram sobre mim.
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.
4 E eu disse: Lançado estou de diante de teus olhos; porém voltarei a ver o teu santo templo.
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!’
5 As águas me cercaram até a alma, o abismo me rodeou; as algas se enrolaram à minha cabeça.
The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 Desci aos fundamentos dos montes; a terra trancou suas fechaduras a mim para sempre; porém tu tiraste minha vida da destruição, ó SENHOR meu Deus.
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.
7 Quando minha alma desfalecia em mim, eu me lembrei do SENHOR; e minha oração chegou a ti em teu santo templo.
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.
8 Os que dão atenção a coisas inúteis e ilusórias abandonam sua própria misericórdia.
All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
9 Mas eu porém sacrificarei a ti com voz de gratidão; pagarei o que prometi. A salvação [vem] do SENHOR.
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].”
10 E o SENHOR falou ao peixe, e este vomitou a Jonas em terra firme.
Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
