1 Y oró Jonás desde el vientre del pez á Jehová su Dios.2 Y dijo: Clamé de mi tribulación á Jehová, Y él me oyó; Del vientre del sepulcro clamé, Y mi voz oiste.3 Echásteme en el profundo, en medio de los mares, Y rodeóme la corriente; Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.4 Y yo dije: Echado soy de delante de tus ojos: Mas aun veré tu santo templo.5 Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, Rodeóme el abismo; La ova se enredó á mi cabeza.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.7 Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, acordéme de Jehová; Y mi oración entró hasta ti en tu santo templo.8 Los que guardan las vanidades ilusorias, Su misericordia abandonan.9 Yo empero con voz de alabanza te sacrificaré; Pagaré lo que prometí. La salvación pertenece á Jehová.10 Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó á Jonás en tierra.

1 \1:17\And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.2 \2:1\Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,3 \2:2\In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice.4 \2:3\For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.5 \2:4\And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?6 \2:5\The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.7 \2:6\I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.8 \2:7\When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.9 \2:8\The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.10 \2:9\But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.11 \2:10\And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
