Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
Na rĩrĩ, Jona arĩ kũu nda ya thamaki ĩyo nene mũno akĩhooya Jehova Ngai wake.
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Akiuga atĩrĩ: “Ndakaĩire Jehova ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩnjĩtĩka. Ngĩhooya ũteithio ndĩ o kũu mbĩrĩra-inĩ kũrĩa kũriku, nawe ũkĩigua gũkaya gwakwa. (Sheol h7585)
3 For you had cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all your billows and your waves passed over me.
Wee wathinĩkanirie nginya kũrĩa kũriku, o gatagatĩ ka iria rĩrĩa inene, naguo mũiyũro wa maaĩ ũgĩĩthiũrũrũkĩria; makũmbĩ maku mothe na ndiihũ cia maaĩ ikĩĩhubanĩria.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.
Ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩ mũingate, ngeherio maitho-inĩ maku; no rĩrĩ, nĩngerorera hekarũ yaku theru hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.’
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Maaĩ macio maandigiicĩirie makenda kũnjũraga, nakuo kũu kũriku gũgaathiũrũrũkĩria; riya rĩa iria-inĩ rĩeohereire mũtwe wakwa.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet have you brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
Ngĩrikĩra o nginya itina-inĩ cia irĩma; thĩ ya kũu rungu ĩkĩĩhingĩrĩria nginya tene. No Wee Jehova, Ngai wakwa, nĩwarutire muoyo wakwa kuuma irima rĩu.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto you, into your holy temple.
“Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa muoyo wakwa wathiraga, nĩndakũririkanire Wee Jehova, namo mahooya makwa magĩkinya o harĩwe, o thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yaku theru.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
“Andũ arĩa mahooyaga mĩhianano ya tũhũ, nĩmoragĩrwo nĩ ũtugi ũrĩa ũngĩkorwo ũrĩ wao.
9 But I will sacrifice unto you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
No niĩ-rĩ, ndĩrĩkũrutagĩra igongona ngĩinaga rwĩmbo rwa gũcookia ngaatho. Nĩngahingia mĩĩhĩtwa yakwa ĩrĩa niĩ ndanehĩta. Ũhonokio uumaga kũrĩ Jehova.”
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Nake Jehova agĩatha thamaki ĩyo nene, nayo ĩgĩtahĩka Jona thĩ nyũmũ.
