Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly.
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
2 He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, I called because of my affliction to Jehovah, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.
For thou cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me. All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
The waters encompassed me around, even to the soul. The deep was round about me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, Yahweh my God.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.
8 Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
