Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly.
約納在魚腹裏，祈求上主，他的天主。
2 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)
他說：「我在患難中，呼求上主，衪便應允了我，我從陰府的深處呼求，你便俯聽了我的呼聲。 (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.
你將我拋入海心深處，大水包圍了我；你的波濤和巨浪漫過了我。
4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again towards your holy temple.’
我曾說：我雖從你面前被拋棄，但我仍要瞻仰你的聖殿。
5 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
大水圍困我，危及卜性命；深淵包圍我，海草纏住我的頭。
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, LORD my God.
我下深直到礁底，大地的門閂永為我關閉。上主，卜天主! 你卻從坑裏救出了我的性命。
7 “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
當我奄奄一息時，我記起了上主；我的祈禱達於你前，達於你的聖殿中。
8 Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
敬奉虛無偶像的人，實在是捨棄了慈愛的根源。
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.”
至於我，我要在頌謝的歌聲中，向你獻祭，償還我許的誓願。救恩屬於上主! 」
10 Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
當時，上主命令那魚，那魚便將約納吐在陸地上。
