SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–10: Jonah thanked the LORD for rescuing him

This section records the prayer that Jonah prayed after he was swallowed by the fish. Notice that the prayer is in the form of poetry. (Both BSB and GNT show this.) Therefore the structure of chapter two is very different from the other three chapters in Jonah, which are narrative material. If possible, try to translate the material in this chapter in a natural poetic form in your language. However, remember that the message is more important than the form in which it is written.

2:8a

Those who cling to worthless idols

Those who cling to worthless idols: In 2:8–9 Jonah contrasted himself, a believer in the true God, with people who worshiped idols. Jonah may have been referring to a particular group of people—for example, the sailors—or he may have been thinking about anyone who worshiped idols rather than the true God2.8 Ellison, p. 387.

2:8b

forsake His loving devotion.

forsake His loving devotion: Literally “they forsake their grace.” This is a very difficult expression in Hebrew. Commentators and translations differ on how they interpret it, depending on how they translate ḥeseḏ, which means “grace, kindness, loyalty, unfailing love,” and what they understand by the expression “their grace.”

The two main possibilities are:

  1. “their grace” means “the LORD’s grace to them,” that is, the love and kindness which the LORD would have shown them if they had believed in him rather than worshiping idols. (BSB, NIV, CEV, JB, NLT)2.8 Allen, p. 215; Sasson, p. 167

  2. “their grace” means “the loyalty which they should show to the LORD.” Here is another way to translate this:

    have abandoned their loyalty to you (GNT) (RSV, GW, NCV, NET)2.8 Stuart, p. 478; Baldwin, p. 471.

There is good support for each of these possibilities. However, in the context, it seems as if Jonah was referring to the pagan sailors. From his point of view, as a Hebrew, people who were not Hebrews had never been “loyal” to the LORD, so how could they “have abandoned their loyalty to” him? The first interpretation makes more sense, therefore, and should be followed. Those who worship idols and follow them forsake the grace they might have obtained from the LORD.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מְשַׁמְּרִ֖ים הַבְלֵי־שָׁ֑וְא

(Some words not found in UHB: when,fainted_away on,me life_of,my DOM YHWH remembered and,it_came to,you prayer_of,my to/towards temple_of your_holiness_of,your )

Here the term vanities of worthlessness is probably an idiom referring to idols of false gods. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Those who give attention to useless idols] or [Those who pay attention to useless gods]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

חַסְדָּ֖⁠ם יַעֲזֹֽבוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: when,fainted_away on,me life_of,my DOM YHWH remembered and,it_came to,you prayer_of,my to/towards temple_of your_holiness_of,your )

Here, covenant faithfulness could refer to: (1) the faithfulness of God to his people. Alternate translation: [are rejecting you, who would be faithful to them] (2) the faithfulness of the people to God. Alternate translation: [are abandoning their commitment to you]
