Jonás 2
Dios Habla Hoy
La oración de Jonás
2 (2) Entonces Jonás oró al Señor su Dios desde dentro del pez, 2 (3) diciendo:
«En mi angustia clamé a ti, Señor,
y tú me respondiste.
Desde las profundidades de la muerte
clamé a ti, y tú me oíste.
3 (4) Me arrojaste a lo más hondo del mar,
y las corrientes me envolvieron.
Las grandes olas que tú mandas
pasaban sobre mí.
4 (5) Llegué a sentirme echado de tu presencia;
pensé que no volvería a ver tu santo templo.
5 (6) Las aguas me rodeaban por completo;
me cubría el mar profundo;
las algas se enredaban en mi cabeza.
6 (7) Me hundí hasta el fondo de la tierra;
¡ya me sentía su eterno prisionero!
Pero tú, Señor, mi Dios,
me salvaste de la muerte.
7 (8) Al sentir que la vida se me iba,
me acordé de ti, Señor;
mi oración llegó a ti en tu santo templo.
8 (9) Los que siguen a los ídolos
dejan de serte leales;
9 (10) pero yo, con voz de gratitud,
te ofreceré sacrificios;
cumpliré las promesas que te hice.
¡Sólo tú, Señor, puedes salvar!»
10 (2.1) Entonces el Señor dispuso que el pez vomitara a Jonás en tierra firme.
Jonah 2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
A Psalm of Thanksgiving
2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, 2 saying,
“I called to the Lord out of my distress,
and he answered me;
out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
and you heard my voice.
3 You cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood surrounded me;
all your waves and your billows
passed over me.(A)
4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away
from your sight;
how[a] shall I look again
upon your holy temple?’(B)
5 The waters closed in over me;
the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped around my head(C)
6 at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
whose bars closed upon me forever;
yet you brought up my life from the Pit,
O Lord my God.(D)
7 As my life was ebbing away,
I remembered the Lord,
and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.(E)
8 Those who worship vain idols
forsake their true loyalty.(F)
9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
Deliverance belongs to the Lord!”(G)
10 Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out onto the dry land.

Jonah 2
New International Version
2 1 [a]From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. 2 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.
3 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)
4 I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;(G)
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’(H)
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[b]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(I)
6 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)
7 “When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered(L) you, Lord,
and my prayer(M) rose to you,
to your holy temple.(N)
8 “Those who cling to worthless idols(O)
turn away from God’s love for them.
9 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.
