Jonah 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 And the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights.	1 Και προσηυχηθη Ιωνας προς Κυριον τον Θεον αυτου εκ της κοιλιας του κητους,
2 And Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish.	2 Και ειπεν, Εβοησα εν τη θλιψει μου προς τον Κυριον, και εισηκουσε μου? εκ κοιλιας αδου εβοησα, και ηκουσας της φωνης μου.
3 And he said: “I cried out to the Lord from my tribulation, and he heeded me. From the belly of hell, I cried out, and you heeded my voice.	3 Διοτι με ερριψας εις τα βαθη, εις την καρδιαν της θαλασσης, και ρευματα με περιεκυκλωσαν? πασαι αι τρικυμιαι σου και τα κυματα σου διηλθον επανωθεν μου.
4 And you have thrown me into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood has encircled me. All your whirlpools and your waves have passed over me.	4 Και εγω ειπα, Απερριφθην απ' εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων σου? ομως θελω επιβλεψει παλιν εις τον ναον τον αγιον σου.
5 And I said: I am expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again.	5 Τα υδατα με περιεκυκλωσαν εως της ψυχης, η αβυσσος με περιεκλεισε, τα φυκια περιετυλιχθησαν περι την κεφαλην μου.
6 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head.	6 Κατεβην εις τα εσχατα των ορεων? οι μοχλοι της γης ειναι επανωθεν μου διαπαντος? αλλ' ανεβη η ζωη μου απο της φθορας, Κυριε Θεε μου?
7 I descended to the base of the mountains. The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever. And you will raise up my life from corruption, Lord, my God.	7 Ενω ητο εκλειπουσα εν εμοι η ψυχη μου, ενεθυμηθην τον Κυριον? και η προσευχη μου εισηλθε προς σε, εις τον ναον τον αγιον σου.
8 When my soul was in anguish within me, I called to mind the Lord, so that my prayer might come to you, to your holy temple.	8 Οι φυλαττοντες ματαιοτητας ψευδους εγκαταλειπουσι το ελεος αυτων.
9 Those who in vain observe vanities, abandon their own mercy.	9 Αλλ' εγω θελω θυσιασει προς σε μετα φωνης αινεσεως? θελω αποδωσει οσα ηυχηθην? η σωτηρια ειναι παρα του Κυριου.
10 But I, with a voice of praise, will sacrifice to you. I will repay whatever I have vowed to the Lord, because of my salvation.”	10 Και προσεταξεν ο Κυριος το κητος και εξημεσε τον Ιωναν επι την ξηραν.
11 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
