Jonas Propheta 2
1 Et oravit Jonas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis,
Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from 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)
He began, “In my agony I cried out to the Lord and he answered me; from the depths of Sheol I pleaded for help and you answered me. (Sheol h7585)
3 Et projecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
You threw me into the deep, all the way down to the bottom of the sea. Water flooded all around me; your crashing waves rolled over me.
4 Et ego dixi: Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum; verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
I said to myself, ‘The Lord has banished me from his sight. Will I ever see your holy Temple again?’
5 Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
The water swirled over me so I couldn't breathe; the deep sucked me down; seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
6 Ad extrema montium descendi; terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
I sank down to the base of the mountains; the earth barred me in forever. But you, my Lord, my God, brought me back up from the abyss.
7 Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea, ad templum sanctum tuum.
As my life ebbed away, I remembered the Lord; my prayer came to you in your holy Temple.
8 Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
Those who worship worthless idols give up their trust in God's goodness.
9 Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
But I will offer you sacrifices, shouting out my thanks. I will keep my promises to you, for salvation comes from the Lord.”
10 Et dixit Dominus pisci, et evomuit Jonam in aridam.
Then the Lord told the fish to spit out Jonah onto the shore.
