Jonah 2
Lexham English Bible
2 And Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the belly of the fish 2 and said,
“I called from my distress[a] to Yahweh,
and he answered me;
from the belly of Sheol[b] I cried for help—
you heard my voice.
3 And you threw me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the sea currents surrounded me;
all your breakers and your surging waves
passed over me.
4 And I said, ‘I am banished[c]
from your sight;
how[d] will I continue to look[e]
on your holy temple?’[f]
5 The waters encompassed me up to my neck;
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains;
the Underworld—its bars were around me forever.
But you brought up my life from the pit,
Yahweh my God.
7 When my life was ebbing away from me,
I remembered Yahweh,
and my prayer came to you,
to your holy temple.[g]
8 Those who worship vain idols
forsake their loyal love.[h]
9 But I, with a voice of thanksgiving,
will sacrifice to you;
I will fulfill what I have vowed.
Deliverance[i] belongs to Yahweh!”
10 And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out on the dry land.

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.

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.
