< Jonah 2 >

1 Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
Et oravit Jonas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis,
2 And he said, I called from the midst of my distress unto the Lord, and he hath answered me: out of the depth of the grave have I cried, 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 For thou hast cast me into the deep, in the heart of the seas; and the stream compasseth me about: all thy billows and thy waves have passed over me.
Et projecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
4 And I thought indeed, I am driven out from before thy eyes: yet I again shall look toward thy holy temple.
Et ego dixi: Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum; verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
5 The waters surrounded me, to the peril of my life; the deep compassed me about: sea-weeds were bound about my head.
Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
6 To the bottoms of the mountains did I go down; the earth [closed] her bars about me for ever: when thou broughtest up my life from the pit, O Lord my God!
Ad extrema montium descendi; terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came unto 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 guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed will I pay; [for] help is with the Lord.
Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Et dixit Dominus pisci, et evomuit Jonam in aridam.
