(2:2) Then Yonah davened unto Hashem Elohav from out of the dag's belly,

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר SDBH saying קָ֠רָאתִי SDBH I called מִצָּ֥רָה SDBH In my distress לִ֛י אֶל־ to יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑נִי SDBH and He answered me מִבֶּ֧טֶן SDBH From the belly שְׁא֛וֹל SDBH of Sheol שִׁוַּ֖עְתִּי SDBH I called for help שָׁמַ֥עְתָּ SDBH [and] You heard קוֹלִֽי׃ SDBH my voice
And said, I cried by reason of mine tzoros unto Hashem, He heard me; out of the belly of Sheol cried I, and Thou heardest my voice.
For Thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the yamim (seas); and the current swirled about me; all Thy billows and Thy waves passed over me.
Then I said, I am cast out of Thy sight; yet I will look again toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh.

אֲפָפ֤וּנִי SDBH engulfed me מַ֙יִם֙ SDBH The waters עַד־ SDBH to take נֶ֔פֶשׁ SDBH my life תְּה֖וֹם SDBH the watery depths יְסֹבְבֵ֑נִי SDBH closed around me ס֖וּף SDBH the seaweed חָב֥וּשׁ SDBH wrapped לְרֹאשִֽׁי׃ SDBH around my head
The mayim compassed me about, even to the nefesh; the depth closed me round about, the seaweed were wrapped about my head.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; ha'aretz with her bars closed behind me l'olam; yet hast Thou brought up my life from shachat (corruption; see Ps 16:10), Hashem Elohai.
When my nefesh fainted within me, I remembered Hashem; and my tefillah came unto Thee, into Thine Heikhal Kodesh.

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own chesed.

וַאֲנִ֗י SDBH But I בְּק֤וֹל SDBH with the voice תּוֹדָה֙ SDBH of thanksgiving אֶזְבְּחָה־ SDBH will sacrifice לָּ֔ךְ to You אֲשֶׁ֥ר SDBH what נָדַ֖רְתִּי SDBH I have vowed אֲשַׁלֵּ֑מָה SDBH I will fulfill יְשׁוּעָ֖תָה SDBH Salvation לַיהוָֽה׃ס SDBH Hashem/Adonoi
But I will sacrifice unto Thee with the voice of todah; I will pay that which I have vowed. Yeshuah (Salvation) is from Hashem.
And Hashem spoke unto HaDag (The Fish), and it vomited out Yonah upon the yabashah (dry land).
