1 Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly.
1
Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from inside the fish:
2 And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, [And] thou heardest my voice.
2
I called to the Lord in my distress, and He answered me. I cried out for help in the belly of Sheol; You heard my voice.
3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
3
You threw me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the current overcame me. All Your breakers and Your billows swept over me.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
4
But I said: I have been banished from Your sight, yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
5
The waters engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars [closed] upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
6
I sank to the foundations of the mountains; the earth with its prison bars closed behind me forever! But You raised my life from the Pit, Lord my God!
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
7
As my life was fading away, I remembered the Lord. My prayer came to You, to Your holy temple.
8 They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
8
Those who cling to worthless idols forsake faithful love,
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
9
but as for me, I will sacrifice to You with a voice of thanksgiving. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the Lord!
10 And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
10
Then the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
