2:1

καὶ προσέταξεν κύριος κήτει μεγάλῳ καταπιεῖν τὸν Ιωναν καὶ ἦν Ιωνας ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ τοῦ κήτους τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας

And the Lord ordered a great sea monster to swallow Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the sea monster three days and three nights.

耶和華吩咐一條大海獸吞下約拿；約拿在海獸腹中三日三夜。

2:2

καὶ προσηύξατο Ιωνας πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας τοῦ κήτους

And Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the sea monster.

約拿在海獸腹中禱告耶和華他的神，

2:3

καὶ εἶπεν ἐβόησα ἐν θλίψει μου πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεόν μου καὶ εἰσήκουσέν μου ἐκ κοιλίας ᾅδου κραυγῆς μου ἤκουσας φωνῆς μου

And he said: I cried out in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me; out of the belly of Hades came my cry, you heard my voice.

說：「我在患難中求告耶和華我的神，他就應允我；我從陰間的腹中發出呼喊，你聽見了我的聲音。

2:4

ἀπέρριψάς με εἰς βάθη καρδίας θαλάσσης καὶ ποταμοί με ἐκύκλωσαν πάντες οἱ μετεωρισμοί σου καὶ τὰ κύματά σου ἐπ’ ἐμὲ διῆλθον

You cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and rivers surrounded me; all your surges and your waves passed over me.

你將我拋進深海的中心，江河環繞我；你一切的巨浪和波濤都漫過我身。

2:5

καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα ἀπῶσμαι ἐξ ὀφθαλμῶν σου ἆρα προσθήσω τοῦ ἐπιβλέψαι πρὸς τὸν ναὸν τὸν ἅγιόν σου

And I said: I have been driven away from your eyes; shall I ever again look toward your holy temple?

我說：我被趕逐，離開你的眼目；我還能再仰望你的聖殿嗎？

2:6

περιεχύθη ὕδωρ μοι ἕως ψυχῆς ἄβυσσος ἐκύκλωσέν με ἐσχάτη ἔδυ ἡ κεφαλή μου εἰς σχισμὰς ὀρέων

Water was poured around me up to my soul; the lowest abyss surrounded me; my head sank into the clefts of the mountains.

眾水環繞我，直到我的性命；最深的深淵圍住我，我的頭沉入山的裂縫中。

2:7

κατέβην εἰς γῆν ἧς οἱ μοχλοὶ αὐτῆς κάτοχοι αἰώνιοι καὶ ἀναβήτω φθορὰ ζωῆς μου κύριε ὁ θεός μου

I went down into the earth, whose bars are everlasting barriers; yet let the corruption of my life come up, O Lord my God.

我下到地裡，那地的門閂永遠將我扣住；耶和華我的神啊，願我生命的朽壞上升而去。

2:8

ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ τὴν ψυχήν μου τοῦ κυρίου ἐμνήσθην καὶ ἔλθοι πρὸς σὲ ἡ προσευχή μου εἰς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου

When my soul was failing within me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you, into your holy temple.

我的性命在我裡面衰微的時候，我就記念耶和華；願我的禱告達到你面前，進入你的聖殿。

2:9

φυλασσόμενοι μάταια καὶ ψευδῆ ἔλεος αὐτῶν ἐγκατέλιπον

Those who cling to vain and false things have forsaken their own mercy.

那些守著虛無和虛謊之物的人，離棄了他們的憐憫。

2:10

ἐγὼ δὲ μετὰ φωνῆς αἰνέσεως καὶ ἐξομολογήσεως θύσω σοι ὅσα ηὐξάμην ἀποδώσω σοι σωτηρίου τῷ κυρίῳ

But I, with a voice of praise and thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you; whatever I have vowed I will pay to you, for deliverance to the Lord.

但我必用稱讚和感謝的聲音向你獻祭；我所許的願，我必向你償還，就是向耶和華所許的拯救之願。」

2:11

καὶ προσετάγη τῷ κήτει καὶ ἐξέβαλεν τὸν Ιωναν ἐπὶ τὴν ξηράν

And the sea monster was ordered, and it cast Jonah out onto the dry land.

耶和華吩咐那海獸，牠就把約拿吐在旱地上。
