Jona 2 | English Standard Version

Jonah’s Prayer

1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, 2 saying, “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. 3 For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me. 4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’ 5 The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head 6 at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God. 7 When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. 8 Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love. 9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!” 10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.

约拿的祷告

1 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*， 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。
