< Jonah 2 >

1 Then Jonah prayed unto YHWH his Elohim out of the fish's belly,
A PULE aku la o Iona ia Iehova i kona Akua mai ka opu aku o ka ia, a i aku la,
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto YHWH, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Ua kahea aku au, mai ko'u wahi pilikia, ia Iehova, a hoolohe mai ia ia'u. Mai ka opu o ka po i kahea aku ai au, a hoolohe mai oe i kuu leo. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
No ka mea, ua kiola aku oe ia'u i ka hohonu, iwaenakonu o ke kai; Ua hoopuniia au e ke kai; O kou mau nalu a pau, a me kou mau ale, ua kaa iho la ia maluna o'u.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Alaila, i iho la au, Ua hooleiia'ku au mai kou alo aku, Aka, e nana hou aku au i kou luakini hoano.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Ua hoopuni na wai ia'u, a i ke ola, Ua hoopuni ka hohonu ia'u; Ua kaeiia ko'u poo i ka limu.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O YHWH my Elohim.
Iho iho la au ilalo i na kumu o na mauna; Ua poai mau ia au e ka honua, a me kona mau kaola, Aka, ua lawe mai oe i kuu ola mai ka lua mai, e Iehova kuu Akua.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered YHWH: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
I ka wa i maule ai kuu uhane iloko o'u, hoomanao iho la au ia Iehova; A hele ae la ka'u pule i ou la i kou luakini hoano.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
O na mea malama i na mea lapuwale, ua haalele lakou i ko lakou pomaikai.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of YHWH.
Aka, e mohai aku au ia oe me ka leo hoomaikai; E hooko aku au i ka mea a'u i hoohiki ai. No Iehova mai ke ola.
10 And YHWH spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
A olelo mai o Iehova i ka ia, a luai aku ia ia Iona i ka aina maloo.
