2 ΙΩΝΑΣJONAH - Brenton|RSVReference
1Καὶ προσέταξεν Κύριος κήτει μεγάλῳ καταπιεῖν τὸν Ιωναν· καὶ ἦν Ιωνας ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ τοῦ κήτους τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας. Now the Lord had commanded a great whale to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights.Jonah's prayer. Jon.2.1-10
2καὶ προσηύξατο Ιωνας πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας τοῦ κήτους And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale, 
3καὶ εἶπεν

Ἑβόησα ἐν θλίψει μου πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεόν μου, καὶ εἰς ήκουσέν μου·
ἐκ κοιλίας ᾅδου κραυγῆς μου ἤκουσας φωνῆς μου.

 and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he hearkened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: thou heardest my voice. 
4ἀπέρριψάς με εἰς βάθη καρδίας θαλάσσης,
καὶ ποταμοί με ἐκύκλωσαν·
πάντες οἱ μετεωρισμοί σου καὶ τὰ κύματά σου ἐπ' ἐμὲ διῆλθον.
 Thou didst cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all thy billows and thy waves have passed upon me. 
5καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα Ἀπῶσμαι ἐξ ὀφθαλμῶν σου·
ἆρα προσθήσω τοῦ ἐπιβλέψαι πρὸς τὸν ναὸν τὸν ἅγιόν σου;
 And I said, I am cast out of thy presence: shall I indeed look again toward thy holy temple? 
6περιεχύθη ὕδωρ μοι ἕως ψυχῆς,
ἄβυσσος ἐκύκλωσέν με ἐσχάτη,
ἔδυ ἡ κεφαλή μου εἰς σχισμὰς ὀρέων.
 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down 
7κατέβην εἰς γῆν, ἧς οἱ μοχλοὶ αὐτῆς κάτοχοι αἰώνιοι·
καὶ ἀναβήτω φθορὰ ζωῆς μου, Κύριε ὁ θεός μου.
 to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored. 
8ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ τὴν ψυχήν μου τοῦ κυρίου ἐμνήσθην,
καὶ ἔλθοι πρὸς σὲ ἡ προσευχή μου εἰς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου.
 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to thee into thy holy temple. 
9φυλασσόμενοι μάταια καὶ ψευδῆ
ἔλεος αὐτῶν ἐγκατέλιπον.		 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy. 
10ἐγὼ δὲ μετὰ φωνῆς αἰνέσεως καὶ ἐξομολογήσεως θύσω σοι·
ὅσα ηὐξάμην, ἀποδώσω σοι σωτηρίου τῷ κυρίῳ.		 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to thee, the Lord of [my] salvation. 
11καὶ προσετάγη τῷ κήτει, καὶ ἐξέβαλεν τὸν Ιωναν ἐπὶ τὴν ξηράν. And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].

Notes:

The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text. )
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica (1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.

Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
