Jonas 2
1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
Kisha Yona akamwomba Bwana Mungu wake kutoka katika tumbo la samaki.
2 and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he hearkened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Akasema, Nimemwita Bwana juu ya shida yangu naye akanijibu; kutoka tumbo la Kuzimu nililia kwa msaada! Uliisikia sauti yangu. (Sheol h7585)
3 Thou didst cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all thy billows and thy waves have passed upon me.
Ulikuwa umenitupa ndani ya kina, ndani ya moyo wa bahari, na maji yaliyonizunguka; mawimbi yako yote na gharika yalipita juu yangu.
4 And I said, I am cast out of thy presence: shall I indeed look again toward thy holy temple?
Nikasema, 'Nimefukuzwa mbele ya macho yako; lakini nitaangalia tena juu ya hekalu lako takatifu. '
5 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
Maji yalifunika kunizunguka karibu na shingo yangu; kina kilinizunguka; mwani ukakizinga kichwa changu.
6 to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
Nilikwenda chini ya milima; nchi na baa zake zimefungwa juu yangu milele. Lakini wewe umeinua uhai wangu shimoni, Bwana, Mungu wangu!
7 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to thee into thy holy temple.
Wakati nafsi yangu ilipozimia ndani yangu, nikamwita Bwana; basi sala yangu ilikujia, katika hekalu lako takatifu.
8 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
Wote ambao huzingatia miungu isiyofaa hukataa uaminifu wako wao wenyewe.
9 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to thee, the Lord of [my] salvation.
Lakini mimi, nitakuchinjia kwa sauti ya shukrani; Nitayatimiza yale niliyoapa. Wokovu hutoka kwa Bwana!
10 And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
Kisha Bwana akanena na samaki, akamtapika Yona juu ya nchi kavu.
