1 T hen Jonah prayed to the Lord his God while in the stomach of the fish,

Entonces Jonás oró al Señor su Dios desde el vientre del pez,

2 s aying, “I called out to the Lord because of my trouble, and He answered me. I cried for help from the place of the dead, and You heard my voice.

y dijo: «Señor, en mi angustia te invoqué, y tú me oíste. Desde el fondo del abismo clamé a ti, y tú escuchaste mi voz.

3 Y ou threw me into the deep waters, to the very bottom of the sea. A flood was all around me and all Your waves passed over me.

Me echaste a las profundidades del mar, y las corrientes me rodearon; ¡todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí!

4 T hen I said, ‘I have been sent away from Your eyes. But I will look again toward Your holy house.’

Entonces dije: “Me has desechado delante de tus ojos, pero todavía he de ver tu santo templo.”

5 W aters closed in over me. The sea was all around me. Weeds were around my head.

Las aguas me rodearon hasta el cuello, y el abismo me envolvió. ¡Las algas se enredaron en mi cabeza!

6 I went down to the roots of the mountains. The walls of the earth were around me forever. But You have brought me up from the grave, O Lord my God.

Bajé hasta los cimientos de los montes; la tierra echó para siempre sus cerrojos sobre mí; pero tú, mi Señor y Dios, rescataste mi vida del sepulcro.

7 W hile I was losing all my strength, I remembered the Lord. And my prayer came to You, into Your holy house.

Cuando dentro de mí desfallecía mi alma, me acordé de ti, Señor, Y mi oración llegó hasta ti, hasta tu santo templo.

8 T hose who worship false gods have given up their faith in You.

Los que siguen vanidades ilusorias, abandonan tu misericordia.

9 B ut I will give gifts in worship to You with a thankful voice. I will give You what I have promised. The Lord is the One Who saves.”

Pero yo, con voz de alabanza, te ofreceré sacrificios y cumpliré mis promesas. La salvación es tuya, Señor.»

10 T hen the Lord spoke to the fish, and it spit Jonah out onto the dry land.

Y el Señor ordenó al pez que vomitara a Jonás en tierra.
