Jonah 2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 2
Jonah’s Prayer. 1 But the Lord sent a great fish to swallow Jonah, and he remained in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.(A) 2 Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish:
3 [a]Out of my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me;
From the womb of Sheol[b] I cried for help,
and you heard my voice.(B)
4 You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea,
and the flood enveloped me;
All your breakers and your billows
passed over me.(C)
5 Then I said, “I am banished from your sight!
How will I again look upon your holy temple?”(D)
6 The waters surged around me up to my neck;
the deep enveloped me;
seaweed wrapped around my head.(E)
7 I went down to the roots of the mountains;
to the land whose bars closed behind me forever,
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O Lord, my God.(F)
8 When I became faint,
I remembered the Lord;
My prayer came to you
in your holy temple.(G)
9 Those who worship worthless idols
abandon their hope for mercy.(H)
10 But I, with thankful voice,
will sacrifice to you;
What I have vowed I will pay:
deliverance is from the Lord.(I)
11 Then the Lord commanded the fish to vomit Jonah upon dry land.
Footnotes
- 2:3–10 These verses, which may have originally been an independent composition, are a typical example of a song of thanksgiving, a common psalm genre (e.g., Ps 116; Is 38:9–20). Such a song is relevant here, since Jonah has not drowned, and the imagery of vv. 4, 6 is appropriate.
- 2:3 Sheol: cf. note on Ps 6:6.

Jonás ora desde el vientre del pez
2 Y desde el vientre del pez oró Jonás al SEÑOR su Dios. 2 Y dijo:
“Desde mi angustia invoqué al SEÑOR y él me respondió.
Clamé desde el vientre del Seol
y tú escuchaste mi voz.
3 Me arrojaste a lo profundo,
en el corazón de los mares
y me rodeó la corriente:
Todas tus ondas y tus olas
han pasado sobre mí.
4 Yo dije: Expulsado soy
de delante de tus ojos;
pero aún he de ver tu santo templo.
5 Las aguas me han envuelto
hasta la garganta;
me rodeó el abismo.
Las algas se enredaron en mi cabeza.
6 Descendí a la base de las montañas. La tierra echó sus cerrojos
tras de mí para siempre.
Pero tú hiciste subir mi vida
de la fosa, ¡oh SEÑOR Dios mío!
7 Cuando mi alma desfallecía dentro de mí me acordé del SEÑOR;
y mi oración llegó hasta ti,
a tu santo templo.
8 Los que veneran las vanidades ilusorias[a] abandonan su lealtad.
9 Pero yo te ofreceré sacrificio
con voz de alabanza.
Lo que prometí haciendo votos
lo cumpliré.
¡La salvación pertenece al SEÑOR!”.
10 Entonces el SEÑOR habló al pez y este vomitó a Jonás en tierra.

Jonah 2
New International Version
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.
