< Jonah 2 >

1 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
Kane Jona ne ni ei rech, nolamo Jehova Nyasaye.
2 and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Nowacho niya, “Ei masichena naluongo Jehova Nyasaye kendo nodwoka. Ei bur matut ne aywak mondo ikonya mane iwinjo ywakna. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
Niluta kuma tut mar nam, nyaka kama tutne ogikie piny, mi ataro noketa diere; kendo apaka kod ahiti madongo duto nokadho kuoma.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
Ne awacho ni, ‘Oseriemba e wangʼi; to kata kamano, pod abiro siko ka angʼiyo hekalu mari maler.’
5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
Pi mane olwora nobwoga kendo kude mag nam bende noima kendo buya mag nam nogajore e wiya.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
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.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
“Ka chunya ne dwaro aa ne apari Jehova Nyasaye, kendo lemona nochopo nyaka e hekalu mari maler.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
“Joma otwere kalamo nyiseche manono, jwangʼo ngʼwono mado bedo margi.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
An to napaki kod wend goyo erokamano mi natimni misango. Gima asesingora nachop kare nikech warruok wuok kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
10 And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi rech mi rechno nongʼogo Jona oko e dho wath kama otwo.
