1Et præparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut deglutiret Jonam:And the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah.et erat Jonas in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus.And Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights.

2Et oravit Jonas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis,And Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish.

3et dixit:And he said:Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum,“I cried out to the Lord from my tribulation,et exaudivit me;and he heeded me.de ventre inferi clamavi,From the belly of hell, I cried out,et exaudisti vocem meam.and you heeded my voice.

4Et projecisti me in profundum in corde maris,And you have thrown me into the deep,et flumen circumdedit me:in the heart of the sea,omnes gurgites tui,and a flood has encircled me.et fluctus tui super me transierunt.All your whirlpools and your waves have passed over me.

5Et ego dixi:And I said:Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum;I am expelled from the sight of your eyes.verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again.

6Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam:The waters surrounded me, even to the soul.abyssus vallavit me,The abyss has walled me in.pelagus operuit caput meum.The ocean has covered my head.

7Ad extrema montium descendi;I descended to the base of the mountains.terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum:The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever.et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam,And you will raise up my life from corruption,Domine Deus meus.Lord, my God.

8Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea,When my soul was in anguish within me,Domini recordatus sum:I called to mind the Lord,ut veniat ad te oratio mea,so that my prayer might come to you,ad templum sanctum tuum.to your holy temple.

9Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra,Those who in vain observe vanities,misericordiam suam derelinquunt.abandon their own mercy.

10Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi:But I, with a voice of praise, will sacrifice to you.quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.I will repay whatever I have vowed to the Lord, because of my salvation.”

11Et dixit Dominus pisci,And the Lord spoke to the fish,et evomuit Jonam in aridam.and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
