Jonah 2
Legacy Standard Bible
Jonah’s Prayer
2 [a]Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God (A)from the stomach of the fish, 2 and he said,
“I (B)called out of my distress to Yahweh,
And He answered me.
I cried for help from the belly of (C)Sheol;
You heard my voice.
3 For You had (D)cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the current surrounded me.
All Your (E)breakers and waves passed over me.
4 So I said, ‘I have been (F)driven away from [b]Your sight.
Nevertheless I will look again (G)toward Your holy temple.’
5 (H)Water encompassed me to my very soul.
The great (I)deep surrounded me,
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I (J)went down to the [c]base of the mountains.
The earth with its (K)bars closed behind me forever,
But You have (L)brought up my life from [d]the pit, O Yahweh my God.
7 While my soul was (M)fainting within me,
I (N)remembered Yahweh,
And my (O)prayer came to You,
To (P)Your holy temple.
8 Those who (Q)regard worthless idols
Forsake their lovingkindness,
9 But as for me, I will (R)sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving.
That which I have vowed I will (S)pay.
(T)Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”
10 Then Yahweh spoke to the (U)fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
Jonah 2
Tree of Life Version
2 Now Adonai prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.[a][b]
Jonah’s Prayer of Distress
2 Then Jonah prayed to Adonai his God from the belly of the fish, 3 saying:
“From my distress I cried to Adonai
and He answered me.
From the belly of Sheol I cried for help
and you heard my voice.[c]
4 For you hurled me from the deep
into the heart of the seas,
and currents swirled around me.
All your waves and your breakers
swept over me.”
5 And I said, “I have been banished
from before your eyes.
Yet I will continue to look
toward your holy Temple.”
6 Waters surrounded me up to my soul.
The deep sea engulfed me—
reeds clung to my head.
7 To the bottoms of the mountains I went down.
The earth with her bars was around me, forever!
Yet You brought my life up from the Pit,
Adonai my God.
8 As my soul was fading from me,
I remembered Adonai
and my prayer came to You,
toward Your holy Temple.
9 Those who watch worthless empty things
forsake their mercy.
10 But I, with a voice of thanks
will sacrifice to you.
What I vowed, I will pay.
Salvation is from Adonai.”
11 Then Adonai spoke to the fish and it vomited Jonah onto the dry land.

Jonás 2
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Oración de Jonás
2 Entonces Jonás oró al Señor su Dios desde el vientre del pez. 2 Dijo:
«En mi angustia clamé al Señor,
y él me respondió.
Desde las entrañas del sepulcro pedí auxilio,
y tú escuchaste mi clamor.
3 A lo profundo me arrojaste,
al corazón mismo de los mares;
las corrientes me envolvían,
todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaban sobre mí.
4 Y pensé: “He sido expulsado
de tu presencia.
¿Cómo volveré a contemplar
tu santo templo?”[a]
5 Las aguas me llegaban hasta el cuello,
lo profundo del océano me envolvía;
las algas se me enredaban en la cabeza,
6 arrastrándome a los cimientos de las montañas.
Me tragó la tierra, y para siempre
sus cerrojos se cerraron sobre mí.
Pero tú, Señor, Dios mío,
me rescataste de la fosa.
7 »Al sentir que se me iba la vida,
me acordé del Señor,
y mi oración llegó hasta ti,
hasta tu santo templo.
8 »Los que siguen a ídolos vanos
abandonan el amor de Dios.[b]
9 Yo, en cambio, te ofreceré sacrificios
y cánticos de gratitud.
Cumpliré las promesas que te hice.
¡La salvación viene del Señor!»
10 Entonces el Señor dio una orden y el pez vomitó a Jonás en tierra firme.
