1 T hen Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly,

Y oró Jonás desde el vientre del pez al SEÑOR su Dios.

2 A nd said, I cried out of my distress to the Lord, and He heard me; out of the belly of Sheol cried I, and You heard my voice.

Y dijo: Clamé de mi tribulación al SEÑOR, Y él me oyó; Del vientre del Seol clamé, Y mi voz oíste.

3 F or You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me; all Your waves and Your billows passed over me.

Me echaste en lo profundo, en medio de los mares, Y la corriente me rodeó; Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.

4 T hen I said, I have been cast out of Your presence and Your sight; yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.

Y yo dije: Echado soy de delante de tus ojos; Mas aún veré el santo templo tuyo.

5 T he waters compassed me about, even to life; the abyss surrounded me, the seaweed was wrapped about my head.

Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, el abismo me rodeó; el junco se enguedejó a mi cabeza.

6 I went down to the bottoms and the very roots of the mountains; the earth with its bars closed behind me forever. Yet You have brought up my life from the pit and corruption, O Lord my God.

Descendí a las raíces de los montes; la tierra echó sus cerraduras sobre mí para siempre; mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh SEÑOR Dios mío.

7 W hen my soul fainted upon me, I earnestly and seriously remembered the Lord; and my prayer came to You, into Your holy temple.

Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, me acordé del Señor; y mi oración entró hasta ti en tu santo Templo.

8 T hose who pay regard to false, useless, and worthless idols forsake their own mercy and loving-kindness.

Los que guardan las vanidades ilusorias, su misericordia abandonan.

9 B ut as for me, I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation and deliverance belong to the Lord!

Mas yo alabándote con voz de confesión te sacrificaré; pagaré lo que prometí. Al SEÑOR sea el salvamento.

10 A nd the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

Y mandó el SEÑOR al pez, y vomitó a Jonás en tierra seca.
