Jonah 2, Jonah's Prayer Jonas 2, a oração de Jonas

Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, saying,

“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, „Aus meiner Not rief ich zum Herrn,

and he answered me;

out of the belly of Sheol I cried, aus dem Bauch des Scheols rief ich,

and you heard my voice. und du hast meine Stimme gehört.

For you cast me into the deep,

into the heart of the seas,

and the flood surrounded me;

all your waves and your billows all deine Wellen und deine Wogen

passed over me.

Then I said, ‘I am driven away

from your sight;

yet I shall again look

upon your holy temple.'

The waters closed in over me to take my life;

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped about my head

at the roots of the mountains.

I went down to the land

whose bars closed upon me forever;

yet you brought up my life from the pit,

O Lord my God.

When my life was fainting away,

I remembered the Lord,

and my prayer came to you,

into your holy temple.

Those who pay regard to vain idols

forsake their hope of steadfast love.

But I with the voice of thanksgiving

will sacrifice to you;

what I have vowed I will pay.

Salvation belongs to the Lord!”

And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
