Jona 2 | الكتاب المقدس

صلاة يونان

1 ثُمَّ صَلَّى يُونَانُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ مِنْ جَوْفِ الْحُوتِ،

2 قَائِلاً: «اسْتَغَثْتُ بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِي فَاسْتَجَابَ لِي، وَمِنْ جَوْفِ الْهَاوِيَةِ ابْتَهَلْتُ فَسَمِعْتَ صَوْتِي.

3 لأَنَّكَ طَرَحْتَنِي إِلَى اللُّجَجِ الْعَمِيقَةِ فِي قَلْبِ الْبِحَارِ، فَاكْتَنَفَنِي الْغَمْرُ وَأَحَاطَتْ بِي تَيَّارَاتُكَ وَأَمْوَاجُكَ

4 فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ طُرِدْتُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ، وَلَنْ أَعُودَ أَتَفَرَّسُ فِي هَيْكَلِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ.

5 قَدْ غَمَرَتْنِي الْمِيَاهُ وَأَحْدَقَتْ بِيَ اللُّجَجُ، وَالْتَفَّ عُشْبُ الْبَحْرِ حَوْلَ رَأْسِي.

6 انْحَدَرْتُ إِلَى أُسُسِ الْجِبَالِ وَهَبَطْتُ إِلَى أَعْمَاقِ الأَرْضِ حَيْثُ أُغْلِقَتْ عَلَيَّ مَزَالِيجُهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَلَكِنَّكَ تُصْعِدُ حَيَاتِي مِنَ الْهَاوِيَةِ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي.

7 عِنْدَمَا وَهَنَتْ نَفْسِي فِي دَاخِلِي، تَذَكَّرْتُ إِلَهِي، فَحَلَّقَتْ صَلاتِي إِلَيْكَ، إِلَى هَيْكَلِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ.

8 إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَجِّلُونَ الأَصْنَامَ الْبَاطِلَةَ يَتَخَلَّوْنَ عَنْ مَصْدَرِ نِعْمَتِهِمْ.

9 أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِهُتَافِ الْحَمْدِ أَذْبَحُ لَكَ، وَمَا نَذَرْتُهُ أُوفِي بِهِ، لأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ الْخَلاصَ».

10 فَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ الْحُوتَ فَقَذَفَ بِيُونَانَ إِلَى الشَّاطِئِ.

Jonah’s Prayer

1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish,

2 saying, “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.

3 For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.

4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’

5 The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head

6 at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.

7 When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.

8 Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.

9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!”

10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
