Oración de Jonás
2 [a]Entonces Jonás oró al Señor su Dios desde el vientre del pez(A), 2 y dijo:
«En mi angustia clamé al Señor(B),
Y Él me respondió.
Desde el seno del Seol[b] pedí auxilio,
Y Tú escuchaste mi voz(C).
3 -»Pues me habías echado a lo profundo,
En el corazón de los mares,
Y la corriente me envolvió(D);
Todas tus encrespadas olas y tus ondas pasaron sobre mí(E).
4 -»Entonces dije: “He sido expulsado de delante de Tus ojos(F);
Sin embargo, volveré a mirar hacia Tu santo templo(G)”.
5 -»Me rodearon las aguas hasta el alma,
El gran abismo me envolvió(H),
Las algas se enredaron en mi cabeza.
6 -»Descendí hasta las raíces de los montes(I),
La tierra con sus cerrojos me ponía cerco para siempre(J);
Pero Tú sacaste de la fosa mi vida(K), oh Señor, Dios mío.
7 -»Cuando en mí desfallecía mi alma(L),
Del Señor me acordé(M);
Y mi oración llegó hasta Ti(N),
Hasta Tu santo templo(O).
8 -»Los que confían en ídolos vanos(P)
Su propia misericordia abandonan.
9 -»Pero yo con voz de acción de gracias
Te ofreceré sacrificios(Q).
Lo que prometí, pagaré(R).
La salvación es del Señor(S)».
10 Entonces el Señor dio orden al pez(T), y este vomitó a Jonás en tierra firme.

Jonah 2
King James Version
2 Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly,
2 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.
3 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.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 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.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 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.

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.

Jonah's Prayer
2 From deep inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God:
2 “In my distress, O Lord, I called to you,
and you answered me.
From deep in the world of the dead
I cried for help, and you heard me.
3 You threw me down into the depths,
to the very bottom of the sea,
where the waters were all around me,
and all your mighty waves rolled over me.
4 I thought I had been banished from your presence
and would never see your holy Temple again.
5 The water came over me and choked me;
the sea covered me completely,
and seaweed wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the very roots of the mountains,
into the land whose gates lock shut forever.[a]
But you, O Lord my God,
brought me back from the depths alive.
7 When I felt my life slipping away,
then, O Lord, I prayed to you,
and in your holy Temple you heard me.
8 Those who worship worthless idols
have abandoned their loyalty to you.
9 But I will sing praises to you;
I will offer you a sacrifice
and do what I have promised.
Salvation comes from the Lord!”
10 Then the Lord ordered the fish to spit Jonah up on the beach, and it did.
