1Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly.
1فصلى يونان الى الرب الهه من جوف الحوت
2He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. I cried. You heard my voice.
2وقال. دعوت من ضيقي الرب فاستجابني . صرخت من جوف الهاوية فسمعت صوتي.
3For 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.
3لانك طرحتني في العمق في قلب البحار. فاحاط بي نهر. جازت فوقي جميع تيّاراتك ولججك.
4I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
4فقلت قد طردت من امام عينيك. ولكنني اعود انظر الى هيكل قدسك.
5The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
5قد اكتنفتني مياه الى النفس. احاط بي غمر. التفّ عشب البحر براسي.
6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.
6نزلت الى اسافل الجبال. مغاليق الارض عليّ الى الابد. ثم اصعدت من الوهدة حياتي ايها الرب الهي.
7“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
7حين اعيت فيّ نفسي ذكرت الرب فجاءت اليك صلاتي الى هيكل قدسك.
8Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
8الذين يراعون اباطيل كاذبة يتركون نعمتهم.
9But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”
9اما انا فبصوت الحمد اذبح لك واوفي بما نذرته. للرب الخلاص
10Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
10وأمر الرب الحوت فقذف يونان الى البر
