Jonás 2
1 Entonces Jonás hizo oración al Señor su Dios desde el interior del pez, y dijo:
[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 En mi angustia, clamé al Señor, y él me dio una respuesta; Desde el más profundo del Seol, lancé un grito y tú escuchaste 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 Porque me has puesto en lo profundo, en el corazón del mar; la corriente me inundó; Todas tus ondas y grandes 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 dije: Fui enviado lejos de delante de tus ojos; sin embargo volveré a mirar tu templo santo.
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 cercaron, hasta el cuello; lo profundo me envolvió; la hierba marina estaba retorcida alrededor de mi cabeza.
The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 Bajé a las bases de las montañas; En cuanto a la tierra, sus muros me rodearon para siempre; pero tú me has sacado mi vida del sepulcro, Señor 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 en mí desfallecía, guardé el recuerdo del Señor; y mi oración llegó a ti, a 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 adoradores de dioses falsos han renunciado a su única esperanza.
All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
9 Pero te haré una ofrenda con voz de acción de gracia; Daré efecto a mis juramentos. La salvación es del Señor.
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 por orden del Señor, el pez envió a Jonás de su boca a la tierra seca.
Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
