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 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly. 2 He said,

"I called because of my affliction to Yahweh.

He answered me.

Out of the belly of Sheol I cried.

You heard my voice.

3 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 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight;

yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

5 The waters surrounded me,

even to the soul.

The deep was around me.

The weeds were wrapped around my head.

6 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, Yahweh my God.

7 "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh.

My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

8 Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.

9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving.

I will pay that which I have vowed.

Salvation belongs to Yahweh."

10 Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
