Jonah 2

1 From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,

1 约拿在鱼腹中向他的上帝耶和华祷告说：

2 saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice.

2 “耶和华啊，我遭遇患难的时候向你求告， 你就应允我。 我在阴间的深处呼求你， 你也垂听我的声音。

3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.

3 你把我抛进深海， 抛进大洋的腹地， 洋流围困我， 你的巨浪洪涛淹没我。

4 At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’

4 我心想，我从你面前被赶走， 但我还要再瞻仰你的圣殿。

5 The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.

5 波涛吞噬我， 深海围困我， 海草缠绕着我的头。

6 To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!

6 我下沉到山的根基， 大地的门闩把我永远关住； 然而，我的上帝耶和华啊， 你却把我的性命从深坑中拯救出来。

7 As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.

7 我的生命渐渐消逝的时候， 我就想起了耶和华。 我的祷告进入你的圣殿， 达到你面前。

8 Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.

8 那些信奉虚无神明的人， 背弃了怜爱他们的上帝 ，

9 But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”

9 但我要用感谢的声音向你献祭， 我必还我许的愿， 因为救恩来自耶和华。”

10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

10 于是，耶和华命令那条鱼， 鱼就把约拿吐到陆地上。
