Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish.
Antan li te nan vant pwason an, Jonas lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye li a, li di:
2 He began, “In my agony I cried out to the Lord and he answered me; from the depths of Sheol I pleaded for help and you answered me. (Sheol h7585)
Nan mizè mwen te ye a, Seyè, mwen te rele nan pye ou, ou te reponn mwen. Byen fon nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, mwen te mande ou sekou, ou te tande vwa mwen. (Sheol h7585)
3 You threw me into the deep, all the way down to the bottom of the sea. Water flooded all around me; your crashing waves rolled over me.
Ou te voye m' jete byen fon, nan fon lanmè. Dlo te sènen m' toupatou. Tout kouran dlo ak tout lanm lanmè yo te pase sou mwen.
4 I said to myself, ‘The Lord has banished me from his sight. Will I ever see your holy Temple again?’
Mwen t'ap di nan kè m': Gen lè ou voye m' jete byen lwen ou. Mwen p'ap janm wè kay ki apa pou ou a ankò!
5 The water swirled over me so I couldn't breathe; the deep sucked me down; seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
Dlo yo kouvri m', yo te prèt pou neye m'. Lanmè a te fin vale m', zèb lanmè te mare nan tout tèt mwen.
6 I sank down to the base of the mountains; the earth barred me in forever. But you, my Lord, my God, brought me back up from the abyss.
Mwen desann, mwen desann, mwen rive jouk nan rasin mòn yo, nan peyi kote sa ki antre pa soti. Men, Seyè, Bondye mwen, ou rale m' soti nan twou a. Ou ban m' lavi ankò.
7 As my life ebbed away, I remembered the Lord; my prayer came to you in your holy Temple.
Lè m' santi mwen taprale vre, mwen vin chonje ou, Seyè! Mwen lapriyè nan pye ou. Kote ou chita nan tanp ki apa ou a, ou tande m'.
8 Those who worship worthless idols give up their trust in God's goodness.
Moun k'ap sèvi zidòl ki pa vo anyen yo, se moun ki vire do bay Bondye ki bay favè a.
9 But I will offer you sacrifices, shouting out my thanks. I will keep my promises to you, for salvation comes from the Lord.”
Men, m'ap chante pou m' fè lwanj ou, m'a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou. M'a kenbe angajman mwen te pran an. Se Seyè a ki delivrans nou.
10 Then the Lord told the fish to spit out Jonah onto the shore.
Lè sa a, Seyè a bay pwason an lòd pou li vonmi Jonas sou rivaj lanmè a.
