Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
Entonces Jonás oró a Yavé su ʼElohim desde el estómago del pez,
2 In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. (Sheol h7585)
y dijo: En mi angustia invoqué a Yavé, y Él me respondió. Desde el estómago del Seol pedí socorro, y Tú escuchaste mi voz. (Sheol h7585)
3 For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
Me lanzaste a lo profundo en medio de los mares, y me rodeó la corriente. Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.
4 And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
Me dije: Desechado soy de tu Presencia, pero aún veré tu santo Templo.
5 The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma. Me rodeó el abismo. Las algas se enredaron en mi cabeza.
6 I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.
Descendí a los cimientos de las montañas. La tierra echó sus cerrojos sobre mí para siempre. Pero Tú, oh Yavé, ʼElohim mío, sacaste de la fosa mi vida.
7 When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, me acordé de Yavé, y mi oración llegó hasta Ti en tu santo Templo.
8 The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
Los que siguen vanos ídolos olvidan tu misericordia.
9 But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.
Pero yo te ofreceré sacrificio de alabanza. Cumpliré lo que prometí. ¡La salvación es de Yavé!
10 And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
Entonces Yavé dio orden al pez, y éste vomitó a Jonás en tierra seca.
