1約拿在魚腹中禱告耶和華─他的 神,From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,

2說:我遭遇患難求告耶和華,你就應允我;從陰間的深處呼求,你就俯聽我的聲音。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.

3你將我投下深淵,就是海的深處;大水環繞我,你的波浪洪濤都漫過我身。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.

4我說:我從你眼前雖被驅逐,我仍要仰望你的聖殿。At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’

5諸水環繞我,幾乎淹沒我;深淵圍住我;海草纏繞我的頭。The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.

6我下到,地的門將我永遠關住。耶和華─我的 神啊,你卻將我的性命從坑中救出來。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!

7我心在我裡面發昏的時候,我就想念耶和華。我的禱告進入你的聖殿,達到你的面前。As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.

8那信奉的人,離棄憐愛他們的主;Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.

9但我必用感謝的聲音獻祭與你。我所許的願,我必償還。救恩出於耶和華。But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”

10耶和華吩咐魚,魚就把約拿吐在旱地上。And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
