Книга пророка Ионы 2
1 И помолися Иона ко Господу Богу своему от чрева китова
[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 и рече: возопих в скорби моей ко Господу Богу моему, и услыша мя из чрева адова вопль мой, услышал еси глас мой: (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 отвергл мя еси во глубины сердца морскаго, и реки обыдоша мя вся высоты Твоя и волны Твоя мне преидоша.
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 И аз рех: отринуся от очию Твоею: еда приложу призрети ми ко храму святому Твоему?
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 Возлияся на мя вода до души моея, бездна обыде мя последняя, понре глава моя в разселины гор,
The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 снидох в землю, еяже вереи ея заклепи вечнии: и да взыдет из истления живот мой к Тебе, Господи Боже мой.
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 Внегда скончаватися от мене души моей, Господа помянух, и да приидет к Тебе молитва моя ко храму святому Твоему.
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 Хранящии суетная и ложная милость свою оставиша:
All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
9 аз же со гласом хваления и исповедания пожру Тебе, елика обещах, воздам Тебе во спасение мое Господеви.
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 И повеле Господь китови, и изверже Иону на сушу.
Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
