Jonas Propheta 2
1 Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
And Jonah prays to his God YHWH from the bowels 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 he says: “I called, because of my distress, to YHWH, And He answers me, From the belly of Sheol I have cried, You have heard 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.
When You cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood surrounds me, All Your breakers and Your billows have passed over me.
4 Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
And I said: I have been cast out from before Your eyes (Yet I add to look to Your holy temple!)
5 Circumdederunt me aquae usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
Waters have surrounded me to the soul, The deep surrounds me, The weed is bound to my head.
6 Ad extrema montium descendi: terrae vectes concluserunt me in aeternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars [are] behind me for all time. And You bring my life up from the pit, O YHWH my God.
7 Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum.
In the feebleness of my soul within me, I have remembered YHWH, And my prayer comes to You, Into Your holy temple.
8 Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
Those observing lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quaecumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
And I—with a voice of thanksgiving—I sacrifice to You, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of YHWH.”
10 Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
And YHWH speaks to the fish, and it vomits Jonah out on the dry land.
