< Jona 2 >
1 I zamoli se Jona Gospodu Bogu svojemu iz trbuha ribljega,
Jonah prayed to the Lord his God, out of the belly of the fish,
2 I reèe: zavapih u nevolji svojoj ka Gospodu, i usliši me; iz utrobe grobne povikah, i ti èu glas moj. (Sheol )
and said: I cried out of my distress, to the Lord and he answered me; out of the midst of Sheol I cried aloud, and you heard my voice. (Sheol )
3 Jer si me bacio u dubine, u srce moru, i voda me opteèe; sve poplave tvoje i vali tvoji prelaziše preko mene.
For you cast me into the deep, into heart of the seas, and the great flood rolled about me; all your breakers and your waves passed over me.
4 I rekoh: odbaèen sam ispred oèiju tvojih; ali æu još gledati svetu crkvu tvoju.
Then I said, I am driven out, away from your sight; How will I ever again look towards your holy temple?
5 Optekoše me vode do duše, bezdana me opkoli, sita omota mi se oko glave.
The waters surrounded me, the great deep engulfed me, the sea weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 Sidoh do krajeva gorskih, prijevornice zemaljske nada mnom su dovijeka; ali ti izvadi život moj iz jame, Gospode Bože moj.
I went down to the roots of the mountains; the prison of the earth closed over me forever. Yet you brought up my life from destruction, O Lord my God.
7 Kad nestajaše duše moje u meni, pomenuh Gospoda, i molitva moja doðe k tebi, u svetu crkvu tvoju.
As my life slipped away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer reached you, in your holy temple.
8 Koji drže lažne taštine, ostavljaju svoju milost.
Those who worship worthless idols abandon their own mercy,
9 A ja æu ti glasom zahvalnijem prinijeti žrtvu, ispuniti što sam zavjetovao; spasenje je u Gospoda.
but I will sacrifice to you with loud thanksgiving! I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is the Lord’s.
10 I Gospod zapovjedi ribi, te izbljuva Jonu na zemlju.
And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it threw up Jonah upon the dry land.
