Jona 2
1 Kane Jona ne ni ei rech, nolamo Jehova Nyasaye.
Then Jonah prayed unto 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)
And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he answered me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest 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.
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.
4 Ne awacho ni, ‘Oseriemba e wangʼi; to kata kamano, pod abiro siko ka angʼiyo hekalu mari maler.’
And I said, am cast out from before thine eyes; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Pi mane olwora nobwoga kendo kude mag nam bende noima kendo buya mag nam nogajore e wiya.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about 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 with her bars [closed] upon me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O 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: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 “Joma otwere kalamo nyiseche manono, jwangʼo ngʼwono mado bedo margi.
They that regard 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.”
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi rech mi rechno nongʼogo Jona oko e dho wath kama otwo.
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
