< Jonah 2 >

1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
2 And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard 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 thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy 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 cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
5 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
Circumdederunt me aquae usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
6 I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O 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 distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum.
8 They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
9 But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quaecumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
