< Jonah 2 >

1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly.
et oravit Iona ad Dominum Deum suum de utero piscis
2 And he said: I called out of mine affliction unto the LORD, and He answered me; out of the belly of the nether-world cried I, and Thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
et dixit clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum et exaudivit me de ventre inferni clamavi et exaudisti vocem meam (Sheol h7585)
3 For Thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all Thy waves and Thy billows 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 out from before Thine eyes'; yet I will look again toward Thy holy temple.
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 was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
circumdederunt me aquae usque ad animam abyssus vallavit me pelagus operuit caput meum
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars closed upon me for ever; yet hast Thou brought up 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 soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came in unto Thee, into 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 regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
qui custodiunt vanitates frustra misericordiam suam derelinquunt
9 But I will sacrifice unto Thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is of the LORD.
ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi quaecumque vovi reddam pro salute Domino
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
et dixit Dominus pisci et evomuit Ionam in aridam
