< Jonah 2 >

1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
2 And said, I cryed in mine affliction vnto the Lord, and he heard me: out of the bellie of hell cryed I, and thou heardest my voyce. (Sheol h7585)
Et dixit: Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me: de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou haddest cast me into the bottome in the middes of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy surges, and all thy waues passed ouer me.
Et proiecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
4 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
5 The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
Circumdederunt me aquae usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
6 I went downe to the bottome of the moutaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer, yet hast thou brought vp my life from the pit, 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 soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum.
8 They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
9 But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quaecumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
10 And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
