< Jonas 2 >

1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
2 and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: you 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 You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon 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 of your presence: shall I indeed look again toward your holy temple?
Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
5 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
6 to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
Ad extrema montium descendi: terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
7 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum.
8 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
10 And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
