1And Yonan prayed before LORD JEHOVAH God from the intestines of the fish 2And he said: “I cried to LORD JEHOVAH in my distress and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried and you heard my voice! 3And you cast me into the depths into the heart of the sea and the floods surrounded me; all your storms and your waves passed over me 4But I said: ‘I am removed far from before your eyes, even now I continue to see your holy temple 5The waters surrounded me unto the soul and the depths surrounded me, and my head was shut in at the bottom of the sea 6And to the bottom of the mountains I have come down, and Earth had locked its bolts in front of my face for eternity, and you brought up my life from destruction, LORD JEHOVAH my God! 7When my soul was troubled, I remembered LORD JEHOVAH, and my prayer entered before you to your holy temple 8All who observe empty religions forsake your mercy 9But I shall offer to you with a voice of thanksgiving and anything that I have vowed; I shall accomplish payment to LORD JEHOVAH! 10And LORD JEHOVAH commanded the fish and it vomited Yonan onto dry land The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
