Ionas 2

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et præparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut deglutiret Jonam : et erat Jonas in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus.	1 But the LORD sent a large fish, that swallowed Jonah; and he remained in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
2 Et oravit Jonas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis,	2 From the belly of the fish Jonah said this prayer to the LORD, his God:
3 et dixit : Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me ; de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam.	3 Out of my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me; From the midst of the nether world I cried for help, and you heard my voice.
4 Et projecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me : omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.	4 For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, and the flood enveloped me; All your breakers and your billows passed over me.
5 Et ego dixi : Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum ; verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.	5 Then I said, "I am banished from your sight! yet would I again look upon your holy temple."
6 Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam : abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.	6 The waters swirled about me, threatening my life; the abyss enveloped me; seaweed clung about my head.
7 Ad extrema montium descendi ; terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum : et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.	7 Down I went to the roots of the mountains; the bars of the nether world were closing behind me forever, But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD, my God.
8 Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum : ut veniat ad te oratio mea, ad templum sanctum tuum.	8 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; My prayer reached you in your holy temple.
9 Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.	9 Those who worship vain idols forsake their source of mercy.
10 Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi : quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.	10 But I, with resounding praise, will sacrifice to you; What I have vowed I will pay: deliverance is from the LORD.
11 Et dixit Dominus pisci, et evomuit Jonam in aridam.	11 Then the LORD commanded the fish to spew Jonah upon the shore.
