< Jonah 2 >

1 THEN Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,
Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Et dixit: Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me: de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
Et proiecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
Ad extrema montium descendi: terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
10 And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
