Jona 2
1 Potem je Jona iz ribjega trebuha molil h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu
Jonah prayed to the Lord his God, out of the belly of the fish,
2 in rekel: »Zaradi razloga svoje stiske sem klical h Gospodu in me je slišal. Ven iz trebuha pekla sem klical in ti si slišal moj glas. (Sheol h7585)
and said: I cried out of my distress, to the Lord and he answered me; out of the midst of Sheol I cried aloud, and you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Kajti vrgel si me v globino, v sredo morij, in poplave so me obkrožile. Vsi tvoji veliki valovi in tvoji valovi so me preleteli.«
For you cast me into the deep, into heart of the seas, and the great flood rolled about me; all your breakers and your waves passed over me.
4 Potem sem rekel: »Vržen sem iz tvojega pogleda, vendar bom ponovno gledal k tvojemu svetemu templju.
Then I said, I am driven out, away from your sight; How will I ever again look towards your holy temple?
5 Vode so me obkrožile, celó do duše, globine so me zaprle naokoli, plevel je bil zavit okoli moje glave.
The waters surrounded me, the great deep engulfed me, the sea weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 Odšel sem navzdol, k vznožjem gora. Zemlja, s svojimi zapahi, je bila okoli mene na veke, vendar si ti moje življenje privedel gor iz trohnenja, oh Gospod, moj Bog.
I went down to the roots of the mountains; the prison of the earth closed over me forever. Yet you brought up my life from destruction, O Lord my God.
7 Ko je moja duša slabela znotraj mene, sem se spomnil Gospoda. Moja molitev je vstopila k tebi, v tvoj sveti tempelj.
As my life slipped away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer reached you, in your holy temple.
8 Tisti, ki obeležujejo lažnive ničevosti, zapuščajo svoje lastno usmiljenje.
Those who worship worthless idols abandon their own mercy,
9 Toda jaz ti bom žrtvoval z glasom zahvaljevanja; plačal bom to, kar sem se zaobljubil. Rešitev duš je od Gospoda.«
but I will sacrifice to you with loud thanksgiving! I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is the Lord’s.
10 In Gospod je spregovoril ribi in izbljuvala je Jona na kopno zemljo.
And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it threw up Jonah upon the dry land.
