| [1]And the Lord made redi a greet fisch, that he shulde swolowe Jonas; and Jonas was in the wombe of the fisch thre daies and thre niytis. |
[1]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. |
| [2]And Jonas preiede to the Lord his God fro the fischis wombe, |
[2]Then Jonah prayed unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 his God out of the fish's belly. |
| [3]and seide, Y criede to God of my tribulacioun, and he herde me; fro the wombe of helle Y criede, and thou herdist my vois. |
[3]And he said: I called out of mine affliction unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and He answered me; out of the belly of the nether-world cried I, and Thou heardest my voice. |
| [4]Thou castidist me doun in to depnesse, in the herte of the see, and the flood cumpasside me; alle thi swolowis and thi wawis passiden on me. |
[4]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. |
| [5]And Y seide, Y am cast awei fro siyt of thin iyen; netheles eftsoone Y schal see thin hooli temple. |
[5]And I said: 'I am cast out from before Thine eyes'; yet I will look again toward Thy holy temple. |
| [6]Watris cumpassiden me `til to my soule, depnesse enuyrownede me, the see hilide myn heed. |
[6]The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head. |
| [7]Y wente doun to the vtmeste places of hillis, the barris of erthe closiden me togidere, in to withouten ende; and thou, my Lord God, schalt reise vp my lijf fro corrupcioun. |
[7]I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars closed upon me for ever; yet hast Thou brought up my life from the pit, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 my God. |
| [8]Whanne my soule was angwisched in me, Y bithouyte on the Lord, that my preier come to thee, to thin hooli temple. |
[8]When my soul fainted within me, I remembered 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and my prayer came in unto Thee, into Thy holy temple. |
| [9]Thei that kepen vanytees, forsaken his merci idili. |
[9]They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy. |
| [10]But Y in vois of heriyng schal offre to thee; what euer thingis Y vowide, Y schal yelde to the Lord, for myn helthe. |
[10]But I will sacrifice unto Thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |

[11]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. |
