Jonás 2
1 Y oró Jonás desde el vientre del pez a Jehová su Dios,
[While he was] inside the huge fish, Jonah prayed to Yahweh God, [whom] he [worshiped. After Yahweh told him that he would answer his prayer, ]
2 Y dijo: Clamé de mi tribulación a Jehová, y él me oyó: del vientre del infierno clamé, y oíste mi voz. (Sheol h7585)
Jonah said, “Yahweh, when I was greatly distressed [here], I prayed to you, and you heard what I [prayed]. When I was [about to descend way down into] the place where dead people go, you heard me when I called out [for you to help/save me]. (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.
You threw me [down] into the deep [water], into the bottom [DOU] of the sea. The currents of the sea swirled around me, and the huge waves crashed above me.
4 Y yo dije: Echado soy de delante de tus ojos, mas aun veré el templo santo tuyo.
Then I thought, ‘You have banished me, and I will never be able to enter your presence again. I will never see your holy temple [in Jerusalem] again!’
5 Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, el abismo me rodeó, el junco se enguedejó a mi cabeza.
The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around 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 sank down to where the mountains start rising [MET] [from the bottom of the sea]. I thought that forever [it would be as though] my body would be in a prison [MTY] [inside the earth] below me. But you, Yahweh God, whom I [worship], rescued me from going down to the place of the dead.
7 Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, me acordé de Jehová; y mi oración entró hasta ti en tu santo templo.
When I was almost dead [EUP], Yahweh, I (thought about/prayed to) you. You [heard] my prayer, up [there where] you [are, in] your holy temple.
8 Los que guardan las vanidades vanas, su misericordia desamparan.
All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
9 Yo empero con voz de alabanza te sacrificaré: pagaré lo que prometí: a Jehová sea el salvamento.
But I will sing to thank [you], and I will offer a sacrifice to you. I will [surely] do what I have solemnly promised [to do]. Yahweh, you are the one who is [able to] save [us].”
10 Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó a Jonás en tierra.
Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
