Jonah 2

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica

1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God. 

2 He said, ‘When I was in trouble, I called out to the LORD. And he answered me. When I was deep in the place of the dead, I called out for help. And you listened to my cry. 

3 You threw me deep into the Mediterranean Sea. I was deep down in its waters. They were all around me. All your rolling waves were sweeping over me. 

4 I said, “I have been driven away from you. But I will look again towards your holy temple in Jerusalem.” 

5 I had almost drowned in the waves. The deep waters were all around me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head. 

6 I sank down to the bottom of the mountains. I thought I had died and gone down into the grave for ever. But you are the LORD my God. You brought my life up from the very edge of the pit of death. 

7 ‘When my life was nearly over, I remembered you, LORD. My prayer rose up to you. It reached you in your holy temple in heaven. 

8 ‘Some people worship the worthless statues of their gods. They turn away from God’s love for them. 

9 But I will sacrifice a thank-offering to you. And I will shout with thankful praise. I will do what I have promised. I will say, “LORD, you are the one who saves.” ’ 

10 The LORD gave the fish a command. And it spat Jonah up onto dry land.

Jonah 2

Kutsal Kitap Yeni Çeviri

from Turkish Bible Society

Yunus'un Duası

1 Yunus balığın karnından Tanrısı RAB'be şöyle dua etti: 

2 ‹‹Ya RAB, sıkıntı içinde sana yakardım, Yanıtladın beni. Yardım istedim ölüler diyarının bağrından, Kulak verdin sesime. 

3 Beni engine, denizin ta dibine fırlattın. Sular sardı çevremi. Azgın dalgalar geçti üzerimden. 

4 ‹Huzurundan kovuldum› dedim, ‹Yine de göreceğim kutsal tapınağını.› 

5 Sular boğacak kadar kuşattı beni, Çevremi enginler sardı, Yosunlar dolaştı başıma. 

6 Dağların köklerine kadar battım, Dünya sonsuza dek sürgülendi arkamdan; Ama, ya RAB, Tanrım, Canımı sen kurtardın çukurdan. 

7 Soluğum tükenince seni andım, ya RAB, Duam sana, kutsal tapınağına erişti. 

8 Değersiz putlara tapanlar, Vefasızlık etmiş olurlar. 

9 Ama şükranla kurban sunacağım sana, Adağımı yerine getireceğim. Kurtuluş senden gelir, ya RAB!›› 

10 RAB balığa buyruk verdi ve balık Yunus'u karaya kustu.
