Giona salvato
2 Ma il Signore dispose che un grosso pesce inghiottisse Giona; Giona restò nel ventre del pesce tre giorni e tre notti. 2 Dal ventre del pesce Giona pregò il Signore suo Dio 3 e disse:
«Nella mia angoscia ho invocato il Signore
ed egli mi ha esaudito;
dal profondo degli inferi ho gridato
e tu hai ascoltato la mia voce.
4 Mi hai gettato nell'abisso, nel cuore del mare
e le correnti mi hanno circondato;
tutti i tuoi flutti e le tue onde
sono passati sopra di me.
5 Io dicevo: Sono scacciato
lontano dai tuoi occhi;
eppure tornerò a guardare il tuo santo tempio.
6 Le acque mi hanno sommerso fino alla gola,
l'abisso mi ha avvolto,
l'alga si è avvinta al mio capo.
7 Sono sceso alle radici dei monti,
la terra ha chiuso le sue spranghe
dietro a me per sempre.
Ma tu hai fatto risalire dalla fossa la mia vita,
Signore mio Dio.
8 Quando in me sentivo venir meno la vita,
ho ricordato il Signore.
La mia preghiera è giunta fino a te,
fino alla tua santa dimora.
9 Quelli che onorano vane nullità
abbandonano il loro amore.
10 Ma io con voce di lode offrirò a te un sacrificio
e adempirò il voto che ho fatto;
la salvezza viene dal Signore».
11 E il Signore comandò al pesce ed esso rigettò Giona sull'asciutto.

Jonah’s Prayer and God’s Answer
2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly. 2 And he said:
“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
And You heard my voice.
3 (C)For You cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the floods surrounded me;
(D)All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
4 (E)Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again (F)toward Your holy temple.’
5 The (G)waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the [a]moorings of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my (H)life from the pit,
O Lord, my God.
7 “When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered the Lord;
(I)And my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.
8 “Those who regard (J)worthless idols
Forsake their own [b]Mercy.
9 But I will (K)sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay what I have (L)vowed.
(M)Salvation is of the (N)Lord.”
10 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

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.
