Jonás 2
Reina-Valera 1960
Oración de Jonás
2 Entonces oró Jonás a Jehová su Dios desde el vientre del pez, 2 y dijo:
Invoqué en mi angustia a Jehová, y él me oyó;
Desde el seno del Seol clamé,
Y mi voz oíste.
3 Me echaste a lo profundo, en medio de los mares,
Y me rodeó la corriente;
Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.
4 Entonces dije: Desechado soy de delante de tus ojos;
Mas aún veré tu santo templo.
5 Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma,
Rodeóme el abismo;
El alga se enredó a mi cabeza.
6 Descendí a los cimientos de los montes;
La tierra echó sus cerrojos sobre mí para siempre;
Mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh Jehová Dios mío.
7 Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, me acordé de Jehová,
Y mi oración llegó hasta ti en tu santo templo.
8 Los que siguen vanidades ilusorias,
Su misericordia abandonan.
9 Mas yo con voz de alabanza te ofreceré sacrificios;
Pagaré lo que prometí.
La salvación es de Jehová.
10 Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó a Jonás en tierra.
Jonah 2
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 2
1 Then the Lord ordained that a large fish would swallow Jonah and he remained in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights.
Prayer of Deliverance[a]
2 Then from the belly of the fish Jonah offered this prayer to the Lord, his God:
3 In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
From the belly of the netherworld I cried out for help,
and you heard my voice.
4 For you cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the sea,
and the flood enveloped me;
all your waves and your billows swept over me.
5 Then I thought, “I have been banished from your sight.
Will I ever be allowed again
to look upon your holy temple?”
6 The waters around me rose to my neck,
and the deep was closing around me;
seaweed was twined around my head.
7 Down I plunged to the roots of the mountains,
sinking to the netherworld
whose bars would imprison me forever.
But you brought me up alive from the pit,
O Lord, my God.
8 As my life was ebbing away,
I remembered the Lord,
and my prayer reached you
in your holy temple.
9 Those who worship false gods
abandon the source of their mercy.
10 But I with hymns of praise
will offer sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will fulfill.
Salvation comes from the Lord.
11 Then, in response to a command from the Lord, the fish spewed Jonah out upon the land.
