Jonás 2

Oración de Jonás
2 Entonces Jonás oró al Señor desde el vientre del pez:
2 «En medio de mi gran angustia clamé al Señor, y él me respondió. Estando ya muy cerca de morir te pedí ayuda, y tú, Señor, oíste mi súplica. 3 Me arrojaste a las profundidades del mar; me hundí en las corrientes de las aguas, y tus olas tempestuosas pasaron sobre mí. 4 Entonces dije: “He sido arrojado de tu presencia. ¿Cómo me será posible volver a visitar tu santo templo de Jerusalén?”.
5 »Las aguas me rodearon y la muerte estaba cada vez más cerca; estaba en lo más profundo y las algas se enredaban a mi cuerpo. 6 Descendí hasta donde están las bases de las montañas que salen de lo profundo del océano. La vida se me escapaba poco a poco, y me sentía ya más muerto que vivo. Pero tú, Señor, Dios mío, me salvaste de esa situación desesperada y me permitiste seguir con vida.
7 »Cuando casi había perdido toda mi esperanza, mis últimos pensamientos los dirigí una vez más al Señor, y mi oración desesperada fue escuchada por él. 8 Los que confían en dioses falsos no saben lo que se están perdiendo; desprecian el inmenso amor de Dios.
9 »Pero yo para siempre te rendiré homenaje y te ofreceré sacrificios rituales en agradecimiento por lo que has hecho por mí. Cumpliré las promesas que te hice. ¡Solamente el Señor me puede salvar!».
10 Entonces el Señor ordenó al pez que vomitara a Jonás en la playa, y así lo hizo el pez.
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.
Jonah 2
New King James Version
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.

Jonah's Prayer
2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, 2 saying,
(A)“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress,
and he answered me;
(B)out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
(C)and you heard my voice.
3 (D)For you cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood surrounded me;
(E)all your breakers and your waves
passed over me.
4 (F)Then I said, ‘I am driven away
from your sight;
(G)yet I shall again look
upon your holy temple.’
5 (H)The waters closed in over me (I)to take my life;
the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 To 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.
7 When my life was fainting away,
I remembered the Lord,
(J)and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.
8 (K)Those who pay regard to vain idols
(L)forsake their hope of steadfast love.
9 (M)But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
(N)Salvation belongs to the Lord!”
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
