约拿书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
约拿的祷告
2 约拿在鱼腹中向他的上帝耶和华祷告说：
2 “我遭遇患难的时候向你求告，
你就应允我。
我在阴间的深处呼求你，
你也垂听我的声音。
3 你把我抛进深海，
茫茫大海把我吞没，
你的巨浪洪涛淹没我。
4 我心想，你已经驱逐我离开你的面，
但我要再瞻仰你的圣殿。
5 波涛环绕我，
深渊吞没我，
海草缠绕着我的头。
6 我下沉到山的根基，
大地的门把我永远关住；
然而，我的上帝耶和华啊，
你却把我的性命从深坑中拯救出来。
7 我的生命渐渐消逝的时候，
我就想起了耶和华。
我的祷告进入你的圣殿，
达到你面前。
8 那些信奉虚无神明的人，
背弃了怜爱他们的主[a]，
9 但我要用感谢的声音向你献祭，
我必还我许的愿，
因为救恩来自耶和华。”
10 于是，耶和华命令那条鱼，
鱼就把约拿吐到陆地上。

Jonah 2
World English Bible
2 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly. 2 He said,
“I called because of my affliction to Yahweh.
He answered me.
Out of the belly of Sheol[a] I cried.
You heard my voice.
3 For you threw me into the depths,
in the heart of the seas.
The flood was all around me.
All your waves and your billows passed over me.
4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight;
yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
5 The waters surrounded me,
even to the soul.
The deep was around me.
The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains.
The earth barred me in forever;
yet you have brought my life up from the pit, Yahweh my God.
7 “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh.
My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving.
I will pay that which I have vowed.
Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”
10 Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
