| 1 | Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, | Et des entrailles du poisson Jonas pria Yahweh, son Dieu. | Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah 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. | Il dit : De la détresse où j'étais, j'ai invoqué Yahweh, et Il m'a répondu ; du ventre du schéol, j'ai crié : vous avez entendu ma voix. | And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol 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. | Vous m'aviez jeté dans l'abîme, au coeur des mers, et l'onde m'environnait; tous vos flots et toutes vos vagues ont passé sur moi. | For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me. |
| 4 | Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. | Et moi, je disais : je suis chassé de devant vos yeux ; pourtant je contemplerai encore votre saint temple. | And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; 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. | Les eaux m'avaient enserré jusqu'à l'âme, l'abîme m'environnait, l'algue encerclait ma tête. | The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; 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. | J'étais descendu jusqu'aux racines des montagnes ; les verrous de la terre étaient tirés sur moi pour toujours ! Et vous avez fait remonter ma vie de la fosse, Yahweh, mon Dieu ! | I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars [closed] upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God. |
| 7 | When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. | Quand mon âme défaillait en moi, je me suis souvenu de Yahweh ; et ma prière est parvenue jusqu'à vous, à votre saint temple. | When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple. |
| 8 | They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. | Ceux qui s'attachent à des vanités futiles abandonnent l'auteur de leur grâce. | They that regard 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. | Mais moi, aux accents de louange, Je votre offrirai un sacrifice ; le voeu que j'ai fait, je l'accomplirai. A Yahweh est le salut ! | But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah. |
| 10 | And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. | Yahweh parla au poisson, et le poisson vomit Jonas sur la terre. | And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. |
