Jonah 2
1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
Katahi a Hona ka inoi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, i roto i te kopu o te ika,
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)
I mea ia, I karanga ahau, he ngakau mamae noku, ki a Ihowa; a whakahoki mai ana ia ki ahau; i tangi atu ahau i roto i te kopu o te reinga, a whakarongo ana koe ki toku reo. (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.
I maka hoki ahau e koe ki te rire, ki waenga moana, a karapotia ana ahau e nga roma; tika ana au tuatea katoa me au ngaru i runga i ahau.
4 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
Na ka mea ahau, Kua oti ahau te pei i mua i ou kanohi; otiia tera ahau e titiro atu ano ki tou temepara tapu.
5 The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
Karapotia ana ahau e te wai, tae tonu iho ki te wairua; i oku taha katoa te rire a taka noa; he rimu nga takai o toku mahunga.
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.
I haere ahau ki raro ki nga take o nga maunga; kopia ana ahau e te whenua me ona tutaki ake ake; heoi whakaputaina ake ana e koe toku ora i roto i te poka, e Ihowa, e toku Atua.
7 When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
I te hemonga o toku wairua i roto i ahau, i mahara ahau ki a Ihowa: i tae atu ano taku inoi ki a koe ki tou temepara tapu.
8 They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
Ko te hunga e pupuri ana i nga mea tekateka noa e whakarere ana i te atawhai mo ratou.
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.
Ko ahau ia ka mea patunga tapu ki a koe i runga i te reo whakawhetai; ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi. Na Ihowa te whakaoranga.
10 And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki te ika, a ka ruakina e tera a Hona ki te wahi maroke.
