Jonah 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.	1 ܘܛܝܒ ܡܪܝܐ ܢܘܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܒܠܥܗ ܠܝܘܢܢ ܘܗܘܐ ܝܘܢܢ ܒܡ̈ܥܘܗܝ ܕܢܘܢܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܐܝ̈ܡܡܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܠܝ̈ܠܘܢ
2 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.	2 ܘܨܠܝ ܝܘܢܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܡܢ ܡ̈ܥܘܗܝ ܕܢܘܢܐ
3 And 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.	3 ܘܐܡܪ ܩܪܝܬ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܒܥܩܬܝ ܘܥܢܢܝ ܡܢ ܟܪܣܗ̇ ܕܫܝܘܠ ܓܥܝܬ ܘܫܡܥܬ ܒܩܠܝ
4 And 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.	4 ܘܐܪܡܝܬܢܝ ܒܥܘܡܩܐ ܒܠܒܗ ܕܝܡܐ ܘܢܗܪܐ ܚܕܪܢܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܚ̈ܫܘܠܝܟ ܘ̈ܓܠܠܝܟ ܥܠܝ ܥܒܪܘ
5 And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.	5 ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܐܬܪܚܩܬ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܥܝ̈ܢܝܟ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܘܣܦ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܗܝܟܠܟ ܩܕܝܫܐ
6 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.	6 ܚܕܪܘܢܝ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܢܦܫܐ ܘܬܗܘܡܐ ܟܪܟܢܝ ܘܒܐܫܬܗ ܕܝܡܐ ܐܬܚܒܫ ܪܝܫܝ
7 I 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.	7 ܘܠܐܫܬܗܘܢ ܕܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܢܚܬܬ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܐܚܕܬ ܣܘܟܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܒܐ̈ܦܝ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܐܣܩܬ ܚܝ̈ܝ ܡܢ ܚܒܠܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ
8 When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.	8 ܟܕ ܐܬܛܪܦܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܬܕܟܪܬ ܘܥܠܬ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܨܠܘܬܝ ܠܗܝܟܠܟ ܩܕܝܫܐ
9 They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.	9 ܟܘܠ ܕܢܛܪܝܢ ܕܚ̈ܠܬܐ ܣܪ̈ܝܩܬܐ ܡܪܚܡܢܘܬܟ ܫܒܩܝܢ
10 But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.	10 ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܩܠܐ ܕܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܐܕܒܚ ܠܟ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܢܕܪܬ ܐܫܠܡ ܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ
11 And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.	11 ܘܦܩܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܢܘܢܐ ܘܦܠܛܗ ܠܝܘܢܢ ܠܝܒܫܐ
