Jonah 2

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

1 约拿在鱼腹中祷告耶和华—他的 神，

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 说： 我遭遇患难求告耶和华， 你就应允我； 从阴间的深处呼求， 你就俯听我的声音。

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 你将我投下深渊， 就是海的深处； 大水环绕我， 你的波浪洪涛都漫过我身。

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

4 我说：我从你眼前虽被驱逐， 我仍要仰望你的圣殿。

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

5 诸水环绕我，几乎淹没我； 深渊围住我； 海草缠绕我的头。

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 我下到山根， 地的门将我永远关住。 耶和华—我的 神啊， 你却将我的性命从坑中救出来。

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

7 我心在我里面发昏的时候， 我就想念耶和华。 我的祷告进入你的圣殿， 达到你的面前。

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

8 那信奉虚无之神的人， 离弃怜爱他们的主；

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 但我必用感谢的声音献祭与你。 我所许的愿，我必偿还。 救恩出于耶和华。

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

10 耶和华吩咐鱼，鱼就把约拿吐在旱地上。
