< Jonah 2 >
1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish.
Yoonaas garaa qurxummii keessaa Waaqayyoon Waaqa isaa kadhate.
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 )
Innis akkana jedhe: “Ani rakkina koo keessatti Waaqayyoon waammadhe; innis deebii naaf kenne. Ani gargaarsa barbaacha garaa siiʼool keessaa nan iyye; atis iyya koo naaf dhageesse. (Sheol )
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.
Ati tuujubatti, garaa galaanaatti gad na darbatte; lolaanis na marse; dambalii fi dhaʼaan kee hundinuu narra garagalan.
4 I said to myself, ‘The Lord has banished me from his sight. Will I ever see your holy Temple again?’
Anis, ‘Kunoo ani fuula kee duraa balleeffameera; taʼus ani deebiʼee gara mana qulqullummaa keetii qulqulluu sanaan ilaala’ nan jedhe.
5 The water swirled over me so I couldn't breathe; the deep sucked me down; seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
Bishaanonni na haguugan; tuujubni immoo na marse; aramaan galaanaas mataatti na marame.
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.
Ani gara hundee tulluuwwaniittin gad liqimfame; balballi lafa jalaas bara baraan natti cufame. Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ati garuu lubbuu koo boolla keessaa ol baafte.
7 As my life ebbed away, I remembered the Lord; my prayer came to you in your holy Temple.
“Yaa Waaqayyo, yeroo lubbuun koo dadhabdetti ani sin yaadadhe; kadhannaan koos gara kee gara mana qulqullummaa kee qulqullichaatti ol baʼe.
8 Those who worship worthless idols give up their trust in God's goodness.
“Warri waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabnetti cichan araara Waaqaa irraa garagalu.
9 But I will offer you sacrifices, shouting out my thanks. I will keep my promises to you, for salvation comes from the Lord.”
Ani garuu faarfannaa galataatiin aarsaa siif nan dhiʼeessa. Ani wareegan wareege sanas nan baasa. Anis, ‘Fayyinni Waaqayyo biraa dhufa’” nan jedha.
10 Then the Lord told the fish to spit out Jonah onto the shore.
Waaqayyos qurxummii sana ajaje; qurxummiin sunis lafa gogaa irratti Yoonaasin tufe.
