ΙΩΝΑΣ

2

¹ Καὶ προσέταξεν Κύριος κήτει μεγάλῳ καταπιεῖν τὸν Ιωναν· καὶ ἦν Ιωνας ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ τοῦ κήτους τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας.

² καὶ προσηύξατο Ιωνας πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας τοῦ κήτους ³ καὶ εἶπεν

Ἑβόησα ἐν θλίψει μου πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεόν μου, καὶ εἰς ήκουσέν μου·
ἐκ κοιλίας ᾅδου κραυγῆς μου ἤκουσας φωνῆς μου.
⁴ ἀπέρριψάς με εἰς βάθη καρδίας θαλάσσης,
καὶ ποταμοί με ἐκύκλωσαν·
πάντες οἱ μετεωρισμοί σου καὶ τὰ κύματά σου ἐπ' ἐμὲ διῆλθον.
⁵ καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα Ἀπῶσμαι ἐξ ὀφθαλμῶν σου·
ἆρα προσθήσω τοῦ ἐπιβλέψαι πρὸς τὸν ναὸν τὸν ἅγιόν σου;
⁶ περιεχύθη ὕδωρ μοι ἕως ψυχῆς,
ἄβυσσος ἐκύκλωσέν με ἐσχάτη,
ἔδυ ἡ κεφαλή μου εἰς σχισμὰς ὀρέων.
⁷ κατέβην εἰς γῆν, ἧς οἱ μοχλοὶ αὐτῆς κάτοχοι αἰώνιοι·
καὶ ἀναβήτω φθορὰ ζωῆς μου, Κύριε ὁ θεός μου.
⁸ ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ τὴν ψυχήν μου τοῦ κυρίου ἐμνήσθην,
καὶ ἔλθοι πρὸς σὲ ἡ προσευχή μου εἰς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου.
⁹ φυλασσόμενοι μάταια καὶ ψευδῆ
ἔλεος αὐτῶν ἐγκατέλιπον. ¹⁰ ἐγὼ δὲ μετὰ φωνῆς αἰνέσεως καὶ ἐξομολογήσεως θύσω σοι·
ὅσα ηὐξάμην, ἀποδώσω σοι σωτηρίου τῷ κυρίῳ. ¹¹ καὶ προσετάγη τῷ κήτει, καὶ ἐξέβαλεν τὸν Ιωναν ἐπὶ τὴν ξηράν.
