1 Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly,

1 Et præparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut deglutiret Jonam: et erat Jonas in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus.

2 Et oravit Jonas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis,

2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

3 et dixit: Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum,
et exaudivit me;
de ventre inferi clamavi,
et exaudisti vocem meam.

3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

4 Et projecisti me in profundum in corde maris,
et flumen circumdedit me:
omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.

4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5 Et ego dixi:
Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum;
verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.

5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

6 Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam:
abyssus vallavit me,
pelagus operuit caput meum.

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.

7 Ad extrema montium descendi;
terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum:
et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.

7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

8 Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea,
Domini recordatus sum:
ut veniat ad te oratio mea,
ad templum sanctum tuum.

8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

9 Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra,
misericordiam suam derelinquunt.

9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.

10 Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi:
quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.

10 ¶ And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

11 ¶ Et dixit Dominus pisci, et evomuit Jonam in aridam.
