1Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
1From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,
2And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
2saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice.
3And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice.
3For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.
4And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
4At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’
5And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
5The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.
6The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
6To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!
7I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
7As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.
8When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
8Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.
9They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
9But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”
10But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
10And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
11And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
