Jonah

Jonah, chapter 2, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 2 Vulgate

   1 Et praeparavit Dominus piscem grandem, ut deglutiret Ionam; et erat Ionas in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus.
   2 Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis
   3 et dixit: "Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et respondit mihi; de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam.
   4 Et proiecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me; omnes gurgites tui et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
   5 Et ego dixi: "Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum; verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum".
   6 Circumdederunt me aquae usque ad guttur, abyssus vallavit me, iuncus alligatus est capiti meo.
   7 Ad extrema montium descendi, terrae vectes concluserunt me in aeternum, sed eduxisti de fovea vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
   8 Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum, et venit ad te oratio mea, ad templum sanctum tuum.
   9 Qui colunt idola vana, pietatem suam derelinquunt;
   10 ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi, quaecumque vovi, reddam; salus Domini est".
   11 Et dixit Dominus pisci, et evomuit Ionam in aridam.

King James Version

   1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
   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 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 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
   5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
   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 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
   8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
   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 ¶ And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
