Jonas 2
1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
Potem je Jona iz ribjega trebuha molil h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu
2 and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
in rekel: »Zaradi razloga svoje stiske sem klical h Gospodu in me je slišal. Ven iz trebuha pekla sem klical in ti si slišal moj glas. (Sheol h7585)
3 You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon me.
Kajti vrgel si me v globino, v sredo morij, in poplave so me obkrožile. Vsi tvoji veliki valovi in tvoji valovi so me preleteli.«
4 And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again towards your holy temple?
Potem sem rekel: »Vržen sem iz tvojega pogleda, vendar bom ponovno gledal k tvojemu svetemu templju.
5 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
Vode so me obkrožile, celó do duše, globine so me zaprle naokoli, plevel je bil zavit okoli moje glave.
6 to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
Odšel sem navzdol, k vznožjem gora. Zemlja, s svojimi zapahi, je bila okoli mene na veke, vendar si ti moje življenje privedel gor iz trohnenja, oh Gospod, moj Bog.
7 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
Ko je moja duša slabela znotraj mene, sem se spomnil Gospoda. Moja molitev je vstopila k tebi, v tvoj sveti tempelj.
8 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
Tisti, ki obeležujejo lažnive ničevosti, zapuščajo svoje lastno usmiljenje.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
Toda jaz ti bom žrtvoval z glasom zahvaljevanja; plačal bom to, kar sem se zaobljubil. Rešitev duš je od Gospoda.«
10 And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
In Gospod je spregovoril ribi in izbljuvala je Jona na kopno zemljo.
