约拿书 2
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
约拿祷告
2 约拿从鱼腹中向耶和华他的 神祷告，
2 说：
“我从患难中求告耶和华，
他就应允我；
我从阴间的深府呼求，
你就垂听我的声音。
3 你把我投入深海，
在海洋的深处，
大水环绕我；
你的洪涛、你的波浪，都漫过我。
4 我说：‘我虽从你眼前被赶逐，
我仍要仰望你的圣殿。’
5 众水包围我，几乎置我于死地；
深渊环绕我；
海草缠裹我的头。
6 我下沉直到山麓，
大地的门闩把我永远关闭；
耶和华我的 神啊！你却把我的性命从坑中拉上来。
7 当我心灵疲弱时，
我就思念耶和华；
我的祷告直达你面前，
进入你的圣殿。
8 那敬奉虚妄之偶像的人，
实在是离弃了怜爱他们的 神（“怜爱他们的 神”原文作“他们的恩典”）。
9 至于我，我要带着感谢的声音向你献祭；
我所许的愿，我必偿还。
救恩是属于耶和华的。”
10 于是耶和华吩咐那鱼，鱼就把约拿吐在陆地上。
Jonah 2
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
2 Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
2 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
3 And 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.
4 And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
5 And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
6 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
7 I 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.
8 When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
9 They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
10 But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
11 And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
