Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
And Jonas preiede to the Lord his God fro the fischis wombe,
2 and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
and seide, Y criede to God of my tribulacioun, and he herde me; fro the wombe of helle Y criede, and thou herdist my vois. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
Thou castidist me doun in to depnesse, in the herte of the see, and the flood cumpasside me; alle thi swolowis and thi wawis passiden on me.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
And Y seide, Y am cast awei fro siyt of thin iyen; netheles eftsoone Y schal see thin hooli temple.
5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
Watris cumpassiden me `til to my soule, depnesse enuyrownede me, the see hilide myn heed.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
Y wente doun to the vtmeste places of hillis, the barris of erthe closiden me togidere, in to withouten ende; and thou, my Lord God, schalt reise vp my lijf fro corrupcioun.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
Whanne my soule was angwisched in me, Y bithouyte on the Lord, that my preier come to thee, to thin hooli temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Thei that kepen vanytees, forsaken his merci idili.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
But Y in vois of heriyng schal offre to thee; what euer thingis Y vowide, Y schal yelde to the Lord, for myn helthe.
10 And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
And the Lord seide to the fisch, and it castide out Jonas `in to the drie lond.
