Jonás 2
1 Entonces Jonás oró a Yahvé, 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 Dijo, “Llamé a causa de mi aflicción a Yahvé. Me respondió. Desde el vientre del Seol lloré. Has oído mi voz. (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 Porque me arrojaste a las profundidades, en el corazón de los mares. El diluvio estaba a mi alrededor. Todas tus olas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.
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 Dije: ‘He sido desterrado de tu vista; pero volveré a mirar hacia tu santo templo”.
And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
5 Las aguas me rodearon, hasta el alma. Lo profundo me rodeaba. La maleza se enredó 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 Bajé a los fondos de las montañas. La tierra me impidió entrar para siempre; pero tú has sacado mi vida del pozo, Yahvé, mi Dios.
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 “Cuando mi alma se desmayó dentro de mí, me acordé de Yahvé. Mi oración llegó a ti, 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 consideran a los ídolos vanos abandonan su propia misericordia.
The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
9 Pero yo te sacrificaré con voz de agradecimiento. Pagaré lo que he prometido. La salvación pertenece a Yahvé”.
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 Yahvé habló al pez, y éste vomitó a Jonás en tierra firme.
And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
