¹ فصلى يونان الى الرب الهه من جوف الحوت

² وقال. دعوت من ضيقي الرب فاستجابني . ‎ صرخت من جوف الهاوية فسمعت صوتي.

³ لانك طرحتني في العمق في قلب البحار. فاحاط بي نهر. جازت فوقي جميع تيّاراتك ولججك.

⁴ فقلت قد طردت من امام عينيك. ولكنني اعود انظر الى هيكل قدسك.

⁵ قد اكتنفتني مياه الى النفس. احاط بي غمر. التفّ عشب البحر براسي.

⁶ نزلت الى اسافل الجبال. مغاليق الارض عليّ الى الابد. ثم اصعدت من الوهدة حياتي ايها الرب الهي.

⁷ حين اعيت فيّ نفسي ذكرت الرب فجاءت اليك صلاتي الى هيكل قدسك.

⁸ الذين يراعون اباطيل كاذبة يتركون نعمتهم.

⁹ اما انا فبصوت الحمد اذبح لك واوفي بما نذرته. للرب الخلاص

¹⁰ وأمر الرب الحوت فقذف يونان الى البر

⁵ He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

⁶ for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,'

⁷ and he from within will answer and say, 'Don't bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give it to you'?

⁸ I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.

⁹ "I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

¹¹ "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
