MSB Majority Standard Bible
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,
1 MAS Jehová había prevenido un gran pez que tragase á Jonás: y estuvo Jonás en el vientre del pez tres días y tres noches.
2 saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice.
2 Y oró Jonás desde el vientre del pez á Jehová su Dios,
3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.
3 Y dijo: Clamé de mi tribulación á Jehová, y él me oyó; del vientre del sepulcro clamé, y mi voz oiste.
4 At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’
4 Echásteme en el profundo, en medio de los mares, y rodeóme la corriente; todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.
5 The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.
5 Y yo dije: Echado soy de delante de tus ojos: mas aun veré tu santo templo.
6 To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!
6 Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, rodeóme el abismo; la ova se enredó á mi cabeza.
7 As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.
7 Descendí á las raíces de los montes; la tierra [echó] sus cerraduras sobre mí para siempre: mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh Jehová Dios mío.
8 Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.
8 Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, acordéme de Jehová; y mi oración entró hasta ti en tu santo templo.
9 But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”
9 Los que guardan las vanidades ilusorias, su misericordia abandonan.
10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
10 Yo empero con voz de alabanza te sacrificaré; pagaré lo que prometí. La salvación [pertenece] á Jehová. Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó á Jonás en tierra.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    … unhoped-for salvation from God, might rise from the dead, and glorify God, and repeat that word which was uttered in prophecy by Jonah: "I cried by reason of mine affliction to the Lord my God, and He heard me out of the belly of hell;" and that he might always continue glorifying God, and giving thanks without ceasing, for that …

  2. Quotes verse 2:2 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXXX)

    Jonas cried from the deep; from the whale's belly. He was not only beneath the waves, but also in the entrails of the beast; nevertheless, those waves and that body prevented not his prayer from reaching God, and the beast's belly could not contain the voice of his prayer.
