Jonah 2
1 [While he was] inside the huge fish, Jonah prayed to Yahweh God, [whom] he [worshiped. After Yahweh told him that he would answer his prayer, ]
Or, Jonas fit sa prière à l'Éternel son Dieu, dans le ventre du poisson.
2 Jonah said, “Yahweh, when I was greatly distressed [here], I prayed to you, and you heard what I [prayed]. When I was [about to descend way down into] the place where dead people go, you heard me when I called out [for you to help/save me]. (Sheol h7585)
Et il dit: Dans ma détresse j'ai invoqué l'Éternel, et il m'a répondu; du sein du Sépulcre j'ai crié, et tu as entendu ma voix. (Sheol h7585)
3 You threw me [down] into the deep [water], into the bottom [DOU] of the sea. The currents of the sea swirled around me, and the huge waves crashed above me.
Tu m'as jeté dans l'abîme, au cœur de la mer, et le courant m'a environné. Toutes tes vagues et tous tes flots ont passé sur moi.
4 Then I thought, ‘You have banished me, and I will never be able to enter your presence again. I will never see your holy temple [in Jerusalem] again!’
Et moi je disais: Je suis rejeté de devant tes yeux! Cependant je verrai encore le temple de ta sainteté!
5 The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
Les eaux m'ont environné jusqu'à l'âme; l'abîme m'a enveloppé; les roseaux ont entouré ma tête.
6 I sank down to where the mountains start rising [MET] [from the bottom of the sea]. I thought that forever [it would be as though] my body would be in a prison [MTY] [inside the earth] below me. But you, Yahweh God, whom I [worship], rescued me from going down to the place of the dead.
J'étais descendu jusqu'aux racines des montagnes; la terre avait fermé sur moi ses barres pour toujours. Mais tu as fait remonter ma vie de la fosse, Éternel, mon Dieu!
7 When I was almost dead [EUP], Yahweh, I (thought about/prayed to) you. You [heard] my prayer, up [there where] you [are, in] your holy temple.
Quand mon âme défaillait en moi, je me suis souvenu de l'Éternel, et ma prière est parvenue jusqu'à toi, dans le temple de ta sainteté.
8 All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
Ceux qui s'attachent à des vanités trompeuses abandonnent celui qui leur fait miséricorde;
9 But I will sing to thank [you], and I will offer a sacrifice to you. I will [surely] do what I have solemnly promised [to do]. Yahweh, you are the one who is [able to] save [us].”
Mais moi, je t'offrirai des sacrifices avec chant de louange, j'accomplirai les vœux que j'ai faits. Le salut est de l'Éternel!
10 Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
Alors l'Éternel commanda au poisson, et le poisson vomit Jonas sur la terre.
