Jonas Propheta 2
1 Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah 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)
and said: — I cried by reason of my distress to Jehovah, And he heard me: Out of the depth of the under-world I cried, And 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.
Thou didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, And the flood compassed me about; All thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
And I said, “I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again to thy holy temple!”
5 Circumdederunt me aquae usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
The waters compassed me about, even to the life, The deep enclosed me round about; Sea-weeds were bound around my head;
6 Ad extrema montium descendi: terrae vectes concluserunt me in aeternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
I sank down to the foundations of the mountains; The bars of the earth were about me forever; Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah, 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 fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah, And my prayer came to thee, To thy holy temple.
8 Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
They that honor lying vanities forsake their mercy;
9 Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quaecumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed; Salvation is from Jehovah.
10 Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it cast out Jonah upon the dry land.
