1 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
2 and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.
3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth {closed} upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry {land}.
1 约拿从鱼腹中向耶和华他的 神祷告，
2 说： "我从患难中求告耶和华， 他就应允我； 我从阴间的深府呼求， 你就垂听我的声音。
3 你把我投入深海， 在海洋的深处， 大水环绕我； 你的洪涛、你的波浪， 都漫过我。
4 我说： ‘我虽从你眼前被赶逐， 我仍要仰望你的圣殿。’
5 众水包围我， 几乎置我于死地； 深渊环绕我； 海草缠裹我的头。
6 我下沉直到山麓， 大地的门闩把我永远关闭； 耶和华我的 神啊！ 你却把我的性命从坑中拉上来。
7 当我心灵疲弱时， 我就思念耶和华； 我的祷告直达你面前， 进入你的圣殿。
8 那敬奉虚妄之偶像的人， 实在是离弃了怜爱他们的 神（"怜爱他们的 神"原文作"他们的恩典"）。
9 至于我， 我要带着感谢的声音向你献祭； 我所许的愿， 我必偿还。救恩是属于耶和华的。"
10 于是耶和华吩咐那鱼， 鱼就把约拿吐在陆地上。
