1Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,
1And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish.
1And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah hisGod out of the fish's belly;
2And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
2And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah, And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried, Thou hast heard my voice.
2and 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.
3For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
3When Thou dost cast me <FI>into<Fi> the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows have passed over me.
3For 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.
4Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
4And I--I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!)
4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
5Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head.
5The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
6To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars <FI>are<Fi> behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from the pit my life, O Jehovah my God.
6I 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 myGod.
7When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
7In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy temple.
7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
8They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
8Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake.
8They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
9And I--with a voice of thanksgiving--I sacrifice to Thee, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation <FI>is<Fi> of Jehovah.
9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
