Jonah 2
1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
2 And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
4 And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
8 They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
