约拿书 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約拿禱告
2 約拿從魚腹中向耶和華他的 神禱告，
2 說：
“我從患難中求告耶和華，
他就應允我；
我從陰間的深府呼求，
你就垂聽我的聲音。
3 你把我投入深海，
在海洋的深處，
大水環繞我；
你的洪濤、你的波浪，都漫過我。
4 我說：‘我雖從你眼前被趕逐，
我仍要仰望你的聖殿。’
5 眾水包圍我，幾乎置我於死地；
深淵環繞我；
海草纏裹我的頭。
6 我下沉直到山麓，
大地的門閂把我永遠關閉；
耶和華我的 神啊！你卻把我的性命從坑中拉上來。
7 當我心靈疲弱時，
我就思念耶和華；
我的禱告直達你面前，
進入你的聖殿。
8 那敬奉虛妄之偶像的人，
實在是離棄了憐愛他們的 神（“憐愛他們的 神”原文作“他們的恩典”）。
9 至於我，我要帶著感謝的聲音向你獻祭；
我所許的願，我必償還。
救恩是屬於耶和華的。”
10 於是耶和華吩咐那魚，魚就把約拿吐在陸地上。

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
Lexham English Bible
2 And Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the belly of the fish 2 and said,
“I called from my distress[a] to Yahweh,
and he answered me;
from the belly of Sheol[b] I cried for help—
you heard my voice.
3 And you threw me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the sea currents surrounded me;
all your breakers and your surging waves
passed over me.
4 And I said, ‘I am banished[c]
from your sight;
how[d] will I continue to look[e]
on your holy temple?’[f]
5 The waters encompassed me up to my neck;
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains;
the Underworld—its bars were around me forever.
But you brought up my life from the pit,
Yahweh my God.
7 When my life was ebbing away from me,
I remembered Yahweh,
and my prayer came to you,
to your holy temple.[g]
8 Those who worship vain idols
forsake their loyal love.[h]
9 But I, with a voice of thanksgiving,
will sacrifice to you;
I will fulfill what I have vowed.
Deliverance[i] belongs to Yahweh!”
10 And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out on the dry land.
