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.

2:9a

But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You.

But I: In this verse Jonah contrasted himself and his behavior with those who worshiped idols (2:8). One way in English of showing this contrast is to begin the verse with “But as for me, I…”

with the voice of thanksgiving: It can refer to either spoken or sung praise. Hence CEV has “shouts of praise” instead of BSB’s voice of thanksgiving. Both are a kind of prayer.

will sacrifice to You: While Jonah thanked the LORD, he also intended to make a sacrifice to him. Exactly what the sacrifice would be is not mentioned, but, as in 1:16, the Hebrew verb used here usually refers to animal sacrifices.

2:9b

I will fulfill what I have vowed.

I will fulfill what I have vowed: Here Jonah promised to fulfill the promise/vow he made to the LORD. He made this promise while he was still in the belly of the fish. He had not drowned, but now he needed to be delivered from inside the fish. The text does not tell us what Jonah promised to do. This is similar to the sailors’ reaction to their deliverance in 1:16.

2:9c

Salvation is from the LORD!”

Salvation is from the LORD!: This statement declares that the LORD alone is able to save/rescue. Jonah was stating that the LORD was in control of the situation and could save him. Jonah again referred to the LORD in the third person (see 2:2 and 2:7). However, here it is probably best to keep the third person reference and consider that Jonah was making a statement about the LORD rather than addressing a remark to him. No major English version substitutes a second person reference here.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וַ⁠אֲנִ֗י

(Some words not found in UHB: worship idols_of vain loyalty_of,their abandon )

This expression shows that there is a contrast between Jonah himself and the people about whom Jonah had just spoken. They paid attention to useless gods, but he would worship Yahweh. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [But as for me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠ק֤וֹל תּוֹדָה֙

(Some words not found in UHB: worship idols_of vain loyalty_of,their abandon )

The phrase with a voice of thanksgiving is an idiom that means “while praising God.” 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. It is not clear whether Jonah planned to thank God by singing or shouting joyfully. Alternate translation: [while praising you out loud]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יְשׁוּעָ֖תָ⁠ה לַ⁠יהוָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: worship idols_of vain loyalty_of,their abandon )

Here, Salvation belongs to Yahweh is an idiom that means “only Yahweh can save.” 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: [Salvation comes from Yahweh] or [Yahweh is the One who saves]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

יְשׁוּעָ֖תָ⁠ה לַ⁠יהוָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: worship idols_of vain loyalty_of,their abandon )

Here Jonah makes a statement about Yahweh in the third person as part of his prayer to Yahweh. If this would not be natural in your language, you could add “you” to make it the second-person form. See also the Note concerning the phrase “I cried out to Yahweh from my distress … ” in [2:2](../02/02/jdrc). Alternate translation: [Salvation belongs to you, Yahweh]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יְשׁוּעָ֖תָ⁠ה לַ⁠יהוָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: worship idols_of vain loyalty_of,their abandon )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of the word Salvation, you can express the same idea with a verbal form such as “save.” Alternate translation: [Yahweh is the one who saves people]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:1-9 Realizing that the Lord had graciously delivered him by sending the fish, Jonah composed this psalm-like prayer. Its careful structure, conforming to the pattern of an individual song of thanksgiving, suggests that it may have been composed after the event, as Jonah recalled his emotions and concerns.
