Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly.
Nihalaly am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e, an-tro’ i fiañey ao t’Ionà,
2 And he said: I called out of mine affliction unto the LORD, and He answered me; out of the belly of the nether-world cried I, and Thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
ami’ty hoe, Nitoreo am’ Iehovà amy fisotriakoy, le tinoi’e; nikoiake boak’ an-Tsikeokeok’ ao, vaho jinanji’o ty feoko. (Sheol h7585)
3 For Thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all Thy waves and Thy billows passed over me.
Fa navokovoko’o an-daleke ao iraho, an-teñateña’ o riakeo ao; nandipots’ ahy o kinera’eo; niary amboneko eo ze hene alo’o naho onja’o.
4 And I said: 'I am cast out from before Thine eyes'; yet I will look again toward Thy holy temple.
Aa le hoe iraho, nahifike tsy ho isam-pihaino’o; fa ho toliheko indraike i kivoho’o miavakey.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Niarikoboñe ahy o ranoo, pak’an-troko, niariseho amako i lalekey; vinandibandi’ o lomotseo ty lohako.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars closed upon me for ever; yet hast Thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
Nizotso mb’ am-baha’ o vohitseo; nañarikatok’ahy kitro katroke o tsotsò’ ty tane toio; fe nakare’o boak’ an-kibory ao ty haveloko, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came in unto Thee, into Thy holy temple.
Ie nitoirañe an-troko ao ty fiaiko, le nahatiahy Iehovà, vaho niheo mb’ama’o an-kivoho’o miavake ao ty halaliko.
8 They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Tsambolitio’ o mpañaon-kakoaham- bandeo ty fiferenaiñañe ama’e.
9 But I will sacrifice unto Thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is of the LORD.
Fe hañenga soroñe ama’o raho am-peom-pañandriañañe; havahako i ni-fantàkoy, fa boak’ am’ Iehovà ty fandrombahañe.
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Aa le nafanto’ Iehovà i fiañey, vaho naloa’e an-tamboho ey t’Ionà.
