Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish.
Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
2 And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah, And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried, 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 When Thou dost cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows 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 — I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!)
Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
5 Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head.
Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
6 To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars [are] behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from the pit my life, O Jehovah my God.
Ad extrema montium descendi: terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
7 In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy temple.
Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum.
8 Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake.
Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
9 And I — with a voice of thanksgiving — I sacrifice to Thee, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of Jehovah.
Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
10 And Jehovah saith to the fish, and it vomiteth out Jonah on the dry land.
Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
