約拿書 2
1 約拿在魚腹中禱告耶和華－他的上帝，
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly.
He said, “I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 你將我投下深淵， 就是海的深處； 大水環繞我， 你的波浪洪濤都漫過我身。
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.
4 我說：我從你眼前雖被驅逐， 我仍要仰望你的聖殿。
I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
5 諸水環繞我，幾乎淹沒我； 深淵圍住我； 海草纏繞我的頭。
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 我下到山根， 地的門將我永遠關住。 耶和華－我的上帝啊， 你卻將我的性命從坑中救出來。
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, LORD my God.
7 我心在我裏面發昏的時候， 我就想念耶和華。 我的禱告進入你的聖殿， 達到你的面前。
“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 那信奉虛無之神的人， 離棄憐愛他們的主；
Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
9 但我必用感謝的聲音獻祭與你。 我所許的願，我必償還。 救恩出於耶和華。
But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.”
10 耶和華吩咐魚，魚就把約拿吐在旱地上。
Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
