< Jonah 2 >

1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly,
Potem je Jona iz ribjega trebuha molil h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu
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)
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 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.
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 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Potem sem rekel: »Vržen sem iz tvojega pogleda, vendar bom ponovno gledal k tvojemu svetemu templju.
5 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Vode so me obkrožile, celó do duše, globine so me zaprle naokoli, plevel je bil zavit okoli moje glave.
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.
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 fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy 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 lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Tisti, ki obeležujejo lažnive ničevosti, zapuščajo svoje lastno usmiljenje.
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.
Toda jaz ti bom žrtvoval z glasom zahvaljevanja; plačal bom to, kar sem se zaobljubil. Rešitev duš je od Gospoda.«
10 And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
In Gospod je spregovoril ribi in izbljuvala je Jona na kopno zemljo.
