< Jonah 2 >
1 Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
Et oravit Jonas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis,
2 And he said, I called because of my affliction to Jehovah, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou heard my voice. (Sheol )
et dixit: [Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me; de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam. (Sheol )
3 For thou cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me. All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
Et projecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Et ego dixi: Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum; verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
5 The waters encompassed me around, even to the soul. The deep was round about me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
Ad extrema montium descendi; terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.
Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea, ad templum sanctum tuum.
8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
9 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.]
10 And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
Et dixit Dominus pisci, et evomuit Jonam in aridam.
