Jonah 2
1 From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,
Kubva mudumbu rehove Jona akanyengetera kuna Jehovha Mwari wake.
2 saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Akati: “Mudambudziko rangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha, iye akandipindura. Kubva mukati meguva ndakadanidzira kuti ndibatsirwe, uye imi makanzwa kuchema kwangu. (Sheol h7585)
3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.
Makandikandira makadzika, mumwoyo chaimo megungwa, uye mvura zhinji ikandikomberedza; mafungu enyu ose namapopoma enyu ose zvakapfuura napamusoro pangu.
4 At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’
Ndakati, ‘Ndaraswa kubva pamberi penyu, asi ndichatarirazve ndakaringa kutemberi yenyu tsvene.’
5 The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.
Mvura zhinji dzandikomberedza dzikandityisa; pakadzikadzika pakandikomberedza; sora regungwa rakamonera musoro wangu.
6 To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!
Kumidzi yamakomo ndakanyura; nyika yapasi yakandipfigiramo nokusingaperi. Asi makaburitsa upenyu hwangu kubva mugomba, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu.
7 As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.
“Upenyu hwangu pahwakanga hwotiza, ndakakurangarirai, imi Jehovha, uye munyengetero wangu wakauya kwamuri, kutemberi yenyu tsvene.
8 Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.
“Vaya vanobatirira kuzvifananidzo zvisina maturo, vanorasa nyasha dzingadai dziri dzavo.
9 But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”
Asi ini, norwiyo rwokuvonga, ndichabayira kwamuri. Zvandakapika ndichazvizadzisa. Ruponeso runobva kuna Jehovha.”
10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
Uye Jehovha akarayira hove, ikandorutsira Jona panyika yakaoma.
