Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
E orou Jonas ao Senhor, seu Deus, das entranhas do peixe.
2 In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. (Sheol h7585)
E disse: Da minha angústia clamei ao Senhor, e ele me respondeu; do ventre do inferno gritei, e tu ouviste a minha voz. (Sheol h7585)
3 For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
Porque tu me lançaste no profundo, no coração dos mares, e a corrente me tem cercado; todas as tuas ondas e as tuas vagas tem passado por cima de mim.
4 And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
E eu dizia: Lançado estou de diante dos teus olhos; todavia tornarei a ver o templo da tua santidade.
5 The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
As águas me cercaram até à alma, o abismo me rodeou, e a alga se embrulhava à minha cabeça.
6 I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.
Eu desci até aos fundamentos dos montes: os ferrolhos da terra me encerrariam para sempre; mas tu fizeste subir a minha vida da perdição, ó Senhor meu Deus.
7 When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
Desfalecendo em mim a minha alma, me lembrei do Senhor; e entrou a ti a minha oração, no templo da tua santidade.
8 The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
Os que observam as vaidades vãs deixam a sua própria misericórdia.
9 But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.
Mas eu te sacrificarei com a voz do agradecimento; o que votei pagarei: do Senhor vem a salvação.
10 And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
Falou pois o Senhor ao peixe: e vomitou a Jonas na terra.
