Jonah 2
1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
Antan li te nan vant pwason an, Jonas lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye li a, li di:
2 And said, I cryed in mine affliction vnto the Lord, and he heard me: out of the bellie of hell cryed I, and thou heardest my voyce. (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 For thou haddest cast me into the bottome in the middes of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy surges, and all thy waues passed ouer 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 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
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 waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine 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 went downe to the bottome of the moutaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer, yet hast thou brought vp my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
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 When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine 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 They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
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 sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of 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 And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
Lè sa a, Seyè a bay pwason an lòd pou li vonmi Jonas sou rivaj lanmè a.
