約拿書 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
約拿的禱告
2 約拿在魚腹中向他的上帝耶和華禱告說：
2 「我遭遇患難的時候向你求告，
你就應允我。
我在陰間的深處呼求你，
你也垂聽我的聲音。
3 你把我拋進深海，
茫茫大海把我吞沒，
你的巨浪洪濤淹沒我。
4 我心想，你已經驅逐我離開你的面，
但我要再瞻仰你的聖殿。
5 波濤環繞我，
深淵吞沒我，
海草纏繞著我的頭。
6 我下沉到山的根基，
大地的門把我永遠關住；
然而，我的上帝耶和華啊，
你卻把我的性命從深坑中拯救出來。
7 我的生命漸漸消逝的時候，
我就想起了耶和華。
我的禱告進入你的聖殿，
達到你面前。
8 那些信奉虛無神明的人，
背棄了憐愛他們的主[a]，
9 但我要用感謝的聲音向你獻祭，
我必還我許的願，
因為救恩來自耶和華。」
10 於是，耶和華命令那條魚，
魚就把約拿吐到陸地上。

Jonah 2
New King James Version
Jonah’s Prayer and God’s Answer
2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly. 2 And he said:
“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
And You heard my voice.
3 (C)For You cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the floods surrounded me;
(D)All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
4 (E)Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again (F)toward Your holy temple.’
5 The (G)waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the [a]moorings of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my (H)life from the pit,
O Lord, my God.
7 “When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered the Lord;
(I)And my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.
8 “Those who regard (J)worthless idols
Forsake their own [b]Mercy.
9 But I will (K)sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay what I have (L)vowed.
(M)Salvation is of the (N)Lord.”
10 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
