Jonas Propheta 2
1 et oravit Iona ad Dominum Deum suum de utero 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 inferni 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.
