Jonah 2

1Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.

1And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah hisGod out of the fish's belly;

1And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish.

1Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah: and Jonah was in the belly of a fish for three days and three nights.

2And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, And thou heardest 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.

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 Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, out of the belly of the fish.

3For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows 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.

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.

3And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice.

4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I 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 thou hast cast me forth into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood hast compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.

5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.

5The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, 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.

5And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see the holy temple again.

6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, 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.

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.

6The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.

7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.

7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy 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.

7I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord, my God.

8They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.

8They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

8Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake.

8When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto the holy temple.

9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is 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.

9And I--with a voice of thanksgiving--I sacrifice to Thee, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation <FI>is<Fi> of Jehovah.

9They that in vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.

10And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

10And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].

10And Jehovah saith to the fish, and it vomiteth out Jonah on the dry land.

10But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
