Jonás 2
1 Y oró Jonás desde el vientre del pez a Jehová su Dios,
Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
2 Y dijo: Clamé de mi tribulación a Jehová, y él me oyó: del vientre del infierno clamé, y oíste 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 Echásteme en el profundo, en medio de las mares, y la corriente me rodeó: todas tus ondas 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 Y yo dije: Echado soy de delante de tus ojos, mas aun veré el templo santo tuyo.
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, el abismo me rodeó, el junco se enguedejó a 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 Descendí a las raíces de los montes: la tierra echó sus cerraduras sobre mí para siempre: mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, o! Jehová Dios mío.
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 desfallecía en mí, me acordé de Jehová; y mi oración entró hasta ti en 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 guardan las vanidades vanas, su misericordia desamparan.
The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
9 Yo empero con voz de alabanza te sacrificaré: pagaré lo que prometí: a Jehová sea el salvamento.
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 Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó a Jonás en tierra.
And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
