1 E ntonces oró Jonás a Jehová su Dios desde el vientre del pez,

Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God while in the stomach of the fish,

2 y dijo: Invoqué en mi angustia a Jehová, y él me oyó; Desde el seno del Seol clamé, Y mi voz oíste.

saying, “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.

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

You 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.

4 E ntonces dije: Desechado soy de delante de tus ojos; Mas aún veré tu santo templo.

Then I said, ‘I have been sent away from Your eyes. But I will look again toward Your holy house.’

5 L as aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, Rodeóme el abismo; El alga se enredó a mi cabeza.

Waters closed in over me. The sea was all around me. Weeds were around my head.

6 D escendí a los cimientos de los montes; La tierra echó sus cerrojos sobre mí para siempre; Mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh Jehová Dios mío.

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.

7 C uando mi alma desfallecía en mí, me acordé de Jehová, Y mi oración llegó hasta ti en tu santo templo.

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

8 L os que siguen vanidades ilusorias, Su misericordia abandonan.

Those who worship false gods have given up their faith in You.

9 M as yo con voz de alabanza te ofreceré sacrificios; Pagaré lo que prometí. La salvación es de Jehová. m

But 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.”

10 Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó a Jonás en tierra.

Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it spit Jonah out onto the dry land.
