约拿在鱼腹中祷告耶和华—他的 神,

yuē ná zài yú fù zhōng dǎo gào yē hé huá — tā de shén ,

Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly.

说: 我遭遇患难求告耶和华, 你就应允我; 从阴间的深处呼求, 你就俯听我的声音。

shuō : wǒ zāo yù huàn nàn qiú gào yē hé huá , nǐ jiù yīng yǔn wǒ ; cóng yīn jiān de shēn chù hū qiú , nǐ jiù fǔ tīng wǒ de shēng yīn 。

He said, “I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

你将我投下深渊, 就是海的深处; 大水环绕我, 你的波浪洪涛都漫过我身。

nǐ jiāng wǒ tóu xià shēn yuān , jiù shì hǎi de shēn chù ; dà shuǐ huán rào wǒ , nǐ de bō làng hóng tāo dōu màn guò wǒ shēn 。

For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.

我说:我从你眼前虽被驱逐, 我仍要仰望你的圣殿。

wǒ shuō : wǒ cóng nǐ yǎn qián suī bèi qū zhú , wǒ réng yào yǎng wàng nǐ de shèng diàn 。

I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

诸水环绕我,几乎淹没我; 深渊围住我; 海草缠绕我的头。

zhū shuǐ huán rào wǒ , jī hū yān mò wǒ ; shēn yuān wéi zhù wǒ ; hǎi cǎo chán rào wǒ de tóu 。

The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

我下到山根, 地的门将我永远关住。 耶和华—我的 神啊, 你却将我的性命从坑中救出来。

wǒ xià dào shān gēn , dì de mén jiàng wǒ yǒng yuǎn guān zhù 。 yē hé huá — wǒ de shén a , nǐ què jiāng wǒ de xìng mìng cóng kēng zhōng jiù chū lái 。

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, LORD my God.

我心在我里面发昏的时候, 我就想念耶和华。 我的祷告进入你的圣殿, 达到你的面前。

wǒ xīn zài wǒ lǐ miàn fā hūn de shí hou , wǒ jiù xiǎng niàn yē hé huá 。 wǒ de dǎo gào jìn rù nǐ de shèng diàn , dá dào nǐ de miàn qián 。

“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

那信奉虚无之神的人, 离弃怜爱他们的主;

nà xìn fèng xū wú zhī shén de rén , lí qì lián ài tā men de zhǔ ;

Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.

但我必用感谢的声音献祭与你。 我所许的愿,我必偿还。 救恩出于耶和华。

dàn wǒ bì yòng gǎn xiè de shēng yīn xiàn jì yǔ nǐ 。 wǒ suǒ xǔ de yuàn , wǒ bì cháng huán 。 jiù ēn chū yú yē hé huá 。

But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.”

耶和华吩咐鱼,鱼就把约拿吐在旱地上。

yē hé huá fēn fu yú , yú jiù bǎ yuē ná tǔ zài hàn dì shang 。

Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
