yona 2:1-10
2 fir yona ne machhli ke pet mein apne parmeshvar yahova se prarthna ki.+
2 usne kaha,
“museebat mein mainne yahova se fariyad ki aur usne mujhe javab diya.+
kabraa* ki gehraiyon se mainne madad ke liye tujhe pukara+aur toone meri aavaz sun li.
3 jab toone mujhe gehre paani mein, khule samundar ki gehraiyon mein feinka,tab paani ki tarangon ne mujhe gher liya,+
teri unchi-unchi lehrein mujhe dubane lagin.+
4 mainne kaha, ‘toone mujhe apni nazron se door kar diya hai,
ab main fir kabhi tere pavitra mandir ko nahin dekh sakoonga.’
5 paani ne mujhe gher liya aur meri jaan par ban aayi,+main gehre saagar mein utarta chala gaya,
samudri paudhon mein mera sir ulajh gaya.
6 main pahadon ki jad tak pahunch gaya,mere liye prithvi ke faatak hamesha ke liye band ho gaye.
lekin hey mere parmeshvar yahova, toone mujhe us gaddhe se zinda baahar nikaala.+
7 jab mera dam nikaalne par tha, tab mainne yahova ko yaad kiya.+
meri prarthna tere paas tere pavitra mandir mein pahunchi.+
8 jo nikammi moorton ko poojte hain, woh us hasti ko thukra dete hain, jo unse atal pyar karta hai.*
9 lekin main tera dhanyavad karoonga aur tujhe balidan chadhaunga,jo mannat mainne maani hai use poora karoonga.+
hey yahova, uddhaar karnevala tu hi hai.”+
10 fir yahova ne machhli ko hukm diya aur usne yona ko sookhi zameen par ugal diya.
