Jona 2
1 I zamoli se Jona Gospodu Bogu svojemu iz trbuha ribljega,
[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 I reèe: zavapih u nevolji svojoj ka Gospodu, i usliši me; iz utrobe grobne povikah, i ti èu glas moj. (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 Jer si me bacio u dubine, u srce moru, i voda me opteèe; sve poplave tvoje i vali tvoji prelaziše preko mene.
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 I rekoh: odbaèen sam ispred oèiju tvojih; ali æu još gledati svetu crkvu tvoju.
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 Optekoše me vode do duše, bezdana me opkoli, sita omota mi se oko glave.
The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 Sidoh do krajeva gorskih, prijevornice zemaljske nada mnom su dovijeka; ali ti izvadi život moj iz jame, Gospode Bože moj.
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 Kad nestajaše duše moje u meni, pomenuh Gospoda, i molitva moja doðe k tebi, u svetu crkvu tvoju.
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 Koji drže lažne taštine, ostavljaju svoju milost.
All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
9 A ja æu ti glasom zahvalnijem prinijeti žrtvu, ispuniti što sam zavjetovao; spasenje je u Gospoda.
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 I Gospod zapovjedi ribi, te izbljuva Jonu na zemlju.
Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
