OET interlinear YNA (JNA) 2:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וַ⁠אֲנִ֣י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you,have_thrown_me deep in_[the],heart_of seas and,a_river it,surrounds_me all/each/any/every breakers_of,your and,your(pl)_of,waves over,me passed )

But I shows that there is a contrast between the actions of Yahweh, which Jonah had just talked about, and his own response, which he will talk about now. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [On my part]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִגְרַ֖שְׁתִּי

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you,have_thrown_me deep in_[the],heart_of seas and,a_river it,surrounds_me all/each/any/every breakers_of,your and,your(pl)_of,waves over,me passed )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [You drove me out]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠נֶּ֣גֶד עֵינֶ֑י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you,have_thrown_me deep in_[the],heart_of seas and,a_river it,surrounds_me all/each/any/every breakers_of,your and,your(pl)_of,waves over,me passed )

Here, eyes is a metonym meaning seeing, and seeing is a metonym for the knowledge, notice, and attention of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from before you] or [from your presence] or [to where you do not notice me]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you,have_thrown_me deep in_[the],heart_of seas and,a_river it,surrounds_me all/each/any/every breakers_of,your and,your(pl)_of,waves over,me passed )

Here, yet indicates a contrast between Jonah being driven away from God and Jonah’s hope to see the temple again. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [nevertheless]
