1
Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,
Καὶ προσέταξε Κύριος κήτει μεγάλῳ καταπιεῖν τὸν Ἰωνᾶν· καὶ ἦν Ἰωνᾶς ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ τοῦ κήτους τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας.
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.
Καὶ προσηύξατο Ἰωνᾶς πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας τοῦ κήτους,
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.
καὶ εἶπεν, Ἐβόησα ἐν θλίψει μου πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεόν μου, καὶ εἰσήκουσέ μου, ἐκ κοιλίας ᾅδου κραυγῆς μου, ἤκουσας φωνῆς μου, ἀπέῤῥιψάς με εἰς βάθη καρδίας θαλάσσης,
4
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
καὶ ποταμοί ἐκύκλωσάν με, πάντες οἱ μετεωρισμοί σου καὶ τὰ κύματά σου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ διῆλθον.
5
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα, ἀπῶσμαι ἐξ ὀφθαλμῶν σου· ἆρα προσθήσω τοῦ ἐπιβλέψαι με πρὸς ναὸν τὸν ἅγιόν σου;
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.
Περιεχύθη μοι ὕδωρ ἕως ψυχῆς, ἄβυσσος ἐκύκλωσέ με ἐσχάτη, ἔδυ ἡ κεφαλή μου εἰς σχισμὰς ὀρέων,
7
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
κατέβην εἰς γῆν, ἧς οἱ μοχλοὶ αὐτῆς κάτοχοι αἰώνιοι· καὶ ἀναβήτω φθορὰ ζωῆς μου Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου.
8
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ τὴν ψυχήν μου, τοῦ Κυρίου ἐμνήσθην, καὶ ἔλθοι πρὸς σὲ ἡ προσευχή μου εἰς ναὸν τὸν ἅγιόν σου.

1
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
Φυλασσόμενοι μάταια καὶ ψευδῆ, ἔλεος αὐτῶν ἐγκατέλιπον.
10
And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Ἐγὼ δὲ μετὰ φωνῆς αἰνέσεως καὶ ἐξομολογήσεως θύσω σοι, ὅσα ηὐξάμην ἀποδώσω σοι σωτηρίου τῷ Κυρίῳ.
