约拿从鱼腹中祷告耶和华他的神，
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God from the stomach of the fish,

说，我因急难呼求耶和华，祂就应允我；我从阴间的深处呼救，你就听了我的声音。
And he said, I called out because of my distress / To Jehovah, and He answered me; / From the belly of Sheol I cried out for help; / You heard my voice.

你将我投下深渊，到了海心；洪流环绕我；你的波浪洪涛，都漫过我身。
You flung me into the depths, into the heart of the sea, / And the flood surrounded me; / All Your breakers 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。
Therefore I said, I have been driven out / From before Your eyes; / 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。
Water encompassed me, even to my soul; / The deep surrounded me; / Seaweed was wrapped about my head.

我下到海中的山根；地的门闩将我永远拦住。耶和华我的神啊，你却将我的性命从坑中救上来。
To the bottom of the sea mountains I went down; / The earth with its bars was around me forever. / Then You have brought up my life from the pit, / O Jehovah my God.

我的魂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，达到你面前。
When my soul fainted within me, / I remembered Jehovah, / And my prayer came to You / In Your holy temple.

那些尊奉虚无不实之神的人，离弃主对他们的慈爱；
Those who regard empty vanities / Forsake the lovingkindness to them;

但我必用感谢的声音献祭与你；我所许的愿，我必偿还。拯救属于耶和华。
But I will sacrifice to You / With the voice of thanksgiving; / That which I have vowed I will fully pay. / Salvation is of Jehovah.

耶和华吩咐鱼，鱼就把约拿吐在旱地上。
And Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out onto the dry land.
