Jonás 2
1 Entonces Jonás oró al Señor su Dios desde el vientre del pez.
Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
2 Comenzó así: “En mi agonía clamé al Señor y él me respondió. Desde las profundidades del Seol supliqué por ayuda, y tú me respondiste. (Sheol h7585)
In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Me lanzaste a lo profundo, al fondo del mar. El agua me cubrió por complete, y tus olas poderosas rodaban sobre me.
For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
4 Y me dije a mi mismo: ‘El Señor me ha expulsado de su presencia. ¿Podré ver tu santo Templo otra vez?’
And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
5 El agua formó un torbellino sobre mi y no podría respirar. Las profundidades me arrastraban, y las algas se enredaban en mi cabeza.
The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
6 Me hundí hasta la base de las montañas; la tierra me cerró sus puertas para siempre. Pero tu, mi Señor, mi Dios, me sacaste del abismo.
I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.
7 “Mientras mi vida se desvanecía, me acordé del Señor, y mi oración llegó a tu santo Templo.
When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
8 Los que adoran a los ídolos vanos, renuncian a su confianza en la bondad de Dios.
The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
9 Pero yo te ofreceré sacrificios, y gritaré mi gratitud. Guardaré las promesas que te he hecho, porque la salvación viene del Señor”.
But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.
10 Entonces el Señor mandó al pez a que vomitara a Jonás en la orilla.
And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
