< يُونَان 2 >

فَصَلَّى يُونَانُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ مِنْ جَوْفِ ٱلْحُوتِ، ١ 1
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly,
وَقَالَ: «دَعَوْتُ مِنْ ضِيقِي ٱلرَّبَّ، فَٱسْتَجَابَنِي. صَرَخْتُ مِنْ جَوْفِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، فَسَمِعْتَ صَوْتِي. (Sheol h7585) ٢ 2
And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
لِأَنَّكَ طَرَحْتَنِي فِي ٱلْعُمْقِ فِي قَلْبِ ٱلْبِحَارِ، فَأَحَاطَ بِي نَهْرٌ. جَازَتْ فَوْقِي جَمِيعُ تَيَّارَاتِكَ وَلُجَجِكَ. ٣ 3
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods surrounded me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ طُرِدْتُ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيْكَ. وَلَكِنَّنِي أَعُودُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِكَ. ٤ 4
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
قَدِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي مِيَاهٌ إِلَى ٱلنَّفْسِ. أَحَاطَ بِي غَمْرٌ. ٱلْتَفَّ عُشْبُ ٱلْبَحْرِ بِرَأْسِي. ٥ 5
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
نَزَلْتُ إِلَى أَسَافِلِ ٱلْجِبَالِ. مَغَالِيقُ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَيَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ثُمَّ أَصْعَدْتَ مِنَ ٱلْوَهْدَةِ حَيَاتِي أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي. ٦ 6
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
حِينَ أَعْيَتْ فِيَّ نَفْسِي ذَكَرْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْكَ صَلَاتِي إِلَى هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِكَ. ٧ 7
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.
اَلَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ أَبَاطِيلَ كَاذِبَةً يَتْرُكُونَ نِعْمَتَهُمْ. ٨ 8
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِصَوْتِ ٱلْحَمْدِ أَذْبَحُ لَكَ، وَأُوفِي بِمَا نَذَرْتُهُ. لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْخَلَاصُ». ٩ 9
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
وَأَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْحُوتَ فَقَذَفَ يُونَانَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ. ١٠ 10
And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
