| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. | Et praeparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut deglutiret Ionam: et erat Ionas in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus. |
| 2 | And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish. | Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis, |
| 3 | And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. | et dixit: Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me; de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam. |
| 4 | And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me. | Et proiecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt. |
| 5 | And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again. | Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum; verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum. |
| 6 | The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head. | Circumdederunt me aquae usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum. |
| 7 | I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God. | Ad extrema montium descendi; terrae vectes concluserunt me in aeternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus. |
| 8 | When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple. | Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea, ad templum sanctum tuum. |
| 9 | They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy. | Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt. |
| 10 | But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord. | Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quaecumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino. |
| 11 | And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land. | Et dixit Dominus pisci, et evomuit Ionam in aridam. |
