1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God.2 He said: "In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry.3 You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me.4 I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.'5 The engulfing waters threatened me, "the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.6 To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, LORD my God, brought my life up from the pit.7 "When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.8 "Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God's love for them.9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, 'Salvation comes from the LORD.'"10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
1 Et prparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut deglutiret Jonam : et erat Jonas in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus. 2 Et oravit Jonas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis, 3 et dixit : [Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum,et exaudivit me ;de ventre inferi clamavi,et exaudisti vocem meam.4 Et projecisti me in profundum in corde maris,et flumen circumdedit me :omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.5 Et ego dixi :Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum ;verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.6 Circumdederunt me aqu usque ad animam :abyssus vallavit me,pelagus operuit caput meum.7 Ad extrema montium descendi ;terr vectes concluserunt me in ternum :et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.8 Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea,Domini recordatus sum :ut veniat ad te oratio mea,ad templum sanctum tuum.9 Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra,misericordiam suam derelinquunt.10 Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi :qucumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.] 11 Et dixit Dominus pisci, et evomuit Jonam in aridam.
