Jonas Propheta 2
1 Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
Then prayed Jonah, unto Yahweh, his God, —out of the belly of the fish;
2 Et dixit: Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me: de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam. (Sheol h7585)
and said—I cried—out of my distress—unto Yahweh, and he answered me, —Out of the belly of hades, called I, Thou didst hear my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Et proiecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
For thou hast cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and, a flood, enveloped me, —All thy breakers and thy rolling waves, over me, passed.
4 Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
And, I, said, I am driven out from before thine eyes, —Yet will I again have regard unto thy holy temple:
5 Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
The waters, encompassed me, to the peril of my life, The roaring deep, enveloped me, —The sea-weed, was wrapped about my head:
6 Ad extrema montium descendi: terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
To the roots of the mountains, went I down, As for the earth, her bars, were about me, age-abidingly, —Then didst thou bring up—out of the pit—my life, O Yahweh my God.
7 Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum.
When my soul, darkened itself over me, Yahweh, I remembered, —and my prayer, came in unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
They who take heed to the vanities of falsehood, do, their own lovingkindness, forsake.
9 Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
But, I, with the voice of praise, will sacrifice unto thee, What I have vowed, I will pay, —Salvation, belongeth to Yahweh!
10 Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
So then Yahweh spake unto the fish, —and it vomited out Jonah, upon the dry land.
