< Jonás 2 >
1 Y oró Jonás desde el vientre del pez á Jehová su Dios,
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly.
2 Y dijo: Clamé de mi tribulación á Jehová, y él me oyó; del vientre del sepulcro clamé, y mi voz oiste. (Sheol )
He said, “I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. (Sheol )
3 Echásteme en el profundo, en medio de los mares, y rodeóme la corriente; todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.
For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.
4 Y yo dije: Echado soy de delante de tus ojos: mas aun veré tu santo templo.
I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again towards your holy temple.’
5 Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, rodeóme el abismo; la ova se enredó á mi cabeza.
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 Descendí á las raíces de los montes; la tierra [echó] sus cerraduras sobre mí para siempre: mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh Jehová Dios mío.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, LORD my God.
7 Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, acordéme de Jehová; y mi oración entró hasta ti en tu santo templo.
“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 Los que guardan las vanidades ilusorias, su misericordia abandonan.
Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
9 Yo empero con voz de alabanza te sacrificaré; pagaré lo que prometí. La salvación [pertenece] á Jehová.
But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.”
10 Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó á Jonás en tierra.
Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
