Jonás suplica al Señor y es salvado

El Señor dispuso, entonces que Jonás fuera tragado por un gran pez en cuyo vientre permaneció durante tres días y tres noches. Desde el vientre del pez, Jonás suplicó al Señor, su Dios, con estas palabras:

En mi angustia clamé al Señor
y fui atendido por él;
desde las profundidades
del reino de los muertos
pedí auxilio y tú me escuchaste.
Me arrojaste a las simas del mar,
sus corrientes me cercaron,
tu recio oleaje me arrolló.
Me dije: “He sido expulsado
lejos de tu presencia,
pero aún volveré a ver tu Templo santo”.
Las aguas me anegaron hasta el cuello,
el abismo me envolvía,
las algas se enredaban en mi cabeza.
Me hundí hasta el cimiento de los montes;
la tierra se cerraba tras de mí para siempre.
Sin embargo tú, Señor Dios mío,
me hiciste salir vivo de la tumba.
Estando ya sin aliento,
me acordé del Señor
y elevé hacia ti mi oración,
hacia tu santo Templo.
Los que adoran a ídolos vanos,
es que han olvidado tu amor.
10 Mas yo, con un canto agradecido,
te he de presentar sacrificios:
¡cumpliré lo que he prometido!
¡La salvación se halla en el Señor!

11 Entonces, el Señor dio instrucciones al pez y este vomitó a Jonás en tierra firme.

[a]From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. He said:

“In my distress I called(A) to the Lord,(B)
    and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead(C) I called for help,
    and you listened to my cry.
You hurled me into the depths,(D)
    into the very heart of the seas,
    and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves(E) and breakers
    swept over me.(F)
I said, ‘I have been banished
    from your sight;(G)
yet I will look again
    toward your holy temple.’(H)
The engulfing waters threatened me,[b]
    the deep surrounded me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.(I)
To the roots of the mountains(J) I sank down;
    the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
    brought my life up from the pit.(K)

“When my life was ebbing away,
    I remembered(L) you, Lord,
and my prayer(M) rose to you,
    to your holy temple.(N)

“Those who cling to worthless idols(O)
    turn away from God’s love for them.
But I, with shouts of grateful praise,(P)
    will sacrifice(Q) to you.
What I have vowed(R) I will make good.
    I will say, ‘Salvation(S) comes from the Lord.’”

10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

  1. Jonah 2:1 In Hebrew texts 2:1 is numbered 1:17, and 2:1-10 is numbered 2:2-11.
  2. Jonah 2:5 Or waters were at my throat

(A)И заповяда Господ на един голям кит да глътне Иона; и биде Иона в утробата на тоя кит три дни и три нощи.

И помоли се Иона на своя Господ Бог из китовата утроба

(B)и рече: „към Господа извиках в моята скръб, – и Той ме чу; извиках из утробата на преизподнята, – и Ти чу гласа ми.

(C)Ти ме хвърли в дълбинето, в сърцето на морето, и струи ме обиколиха, всички Твои води и Твои вълни минуваха над мене.

(D)И рекох: отхвърлен съм от Твоите очи; обаче пак ще видя светия Ти храм.

(E)Обхванаха ме водите до душата ми, бездна ме заключи; с морска трева биде обвита главата ми.

До планинските основи слязох, земята със своите завори ме навеки затвори; но Ти, Господи, Боже мой, ще изведеш душата ми из ада.

(F)Когато изнемощя в мене душата ми, аз си спомних за Господа, и моята молитва стигна до Тебе, до светия Ти храм.

Ония, които почитат суетни и лъжовни богове, оставиха своя Милосърден,

10 (G)но аз с хвалебен глас ще Ти принеса жертва; което съм обещал, ще изпълня. У Господа е спасението!“

11 (H)И заповяда Господ на кита, и той изхвърли Иона на суша.

Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly,

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.

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.

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

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.

When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.

10 And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
