Jona 2
1 Kane Jona ne ni ei rech, nolamo Jehova Nyasaye.
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly.
2 Nowacho niya, “Ei masichena naluongo Jehova Nyasaye kendo nodwoka. Ei bur matut ne aywak mondo ikonya mane iwinjo ywakna. (Sheol h7585)
He said, "I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol (Sheol h7585) I cried. You heard my voice.
3 Niluta kuma tut mar nam, nyaka kama tutne ogikie piny, mi ataro noketa diere; kendo apaka kod ahiti madongo duto nokadho kuoma.
For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.
4 Ne awacho ni, ‘Oseriemba e wangʼi; to kata kamano, pod abiro siko ka angʼiyo hekalu mari maler.’
I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
5 Pi mane olwora nobwoga kendo kude mag nam bende noima kendo buya mag nam nogajore e wiya.
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 Nalutora nyaka e tiend gode mag nam kendo piny nouma chuth nyaka chiengʼ. To nigola oko kangima e bur matut, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasacha.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, LORD my God.
7 “Ka chunya ne dwaro aa ne apari Jehova Nyasaye, kendo lemona nochopo nyaka e hekalu mari maler.
“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 “Joma otwere kalamo nyiseche manono, jwangʼo ngʼwono mado bedo margi.
Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
9 An to napaki kod wend goyo erokamano mi natimni misango. Gima asesingora nachop kare nikech warruok wuok kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.”
10 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi rech mi rechno nongʼogo Jona oko e dho wath kama otwo.
Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
