Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish.
Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
2 And he said: “I cried out to the Lord from my tribulation, and he heeded me. From the belly of hell, I cried out, and you heeded my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Et dixit: Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me: de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam. (Sheol h7585)
3 And you have thrown me into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood has encircled me. All your whirlpools and your waves have passed over me.
Et proiecisti 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 expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again.
Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
5 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head.
Circumdederunt me aquae usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
6 I descended to the base of the mountains. The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever. And you will raise up my life from corruption, Lord, my God.
Ad extrema montium descendi: terrae vectes concluserunt me in aeternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
7 When my soul was in anguish within me, I called to mind the Lord, so that my prayer might come to you, to your holy temple.
Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum.
8 Those who in vain observe vanities, abandon their own mercy.
Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
9 But I, with a voice of praise, will sacrifice to you. I will repay whatever I have vowed to the Lord, because of my salvation.”
Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quaecumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
