Jona 2
1 Kane Jona ne ni ei rech, nolamo Jehova Nyasaye.
And Jonah prays to his God YHWH from the bowels of the fish.
2 Nowacho niya, “Ei masichena naluongo Jehova Nyasaye kendo nodwoka. Ei bur matut ne aywak mondo ikonya mane iwinjo ywakna. (Sheol h7585)
And he says: “I called, because of my distress, to YHWH, And He answers me, From the belly of Sheol I have cried, You have heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Niluta kuma tut mar nam, nyaka kama tutne ogikie piny, mi ataro noketa diere; kendo apaka kod ahiti madongo duto nokadho kuoma.
When You cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood surrounds me, All Your breakers and Your billows have passed over me.
4 Ne awacho ni, ‘Oseriemba e wangʼi; to kata kamano, pod abiro siko ka angʼiyo hekalu mari maler.’
And I said: I have been cast out from before Your eyes (Yet I add to look to Your holy temple!)
5 Pi mane olwora nobwoga kendo kude mag nam bende noima kendo buya mag nam nogajore e wiya.
Waters have surrounded me to the soul, The deep surrounds me, The weed is bound to 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.
To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars [are] behind me for all time. And You bring my life up from the pit, O YHWH my God.
7 “Ka chunya ne dwaro aa ne apari Jehova Nyasaye, kendo lemona nochopo nyaka e hekalu mari maler.
In the feebleness of my soul within me, I have remembered YHWH, And my prayer comes to You, Into Your holy temple.
8 “Joma otwere kalamo nyiseche manono, jwangʼo ngʼwono mado bedo margi.
Those observing lying vanities 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.”
And I—with a voice of thanksgiving—I sacrifice to You, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of YHWH.”
10 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi rech mi rechno nongʼogo Jona oko e dho wath kama otwo.
And YHWH speaks to the fish, and it vomits Jonah out on the dry land.
