< Jonah 2 >

1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly,
Kubva mudumbu rehove Jona akanyengetera kuna Jehovha Mwari 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] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Akati: “Mudambudziko rangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha, iye akandipindura. Kubva mukati meguva ndakadanidzira kuti ndibatsirwe, uye imi makanzwa kuchema kwangu. (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.
Makandikandira makadzika, mumwoyo chaimo megungwa, uye mvura zhinji ikandikomberedza; mafungu enyu ose namapopoma enyu ose zvakapfuura napamusoro pangu.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Ndakati, ‘Ndaraswa kubva pamberi penyu, asi ndichatarirazve ndakaringa kutemberi yenyu tsvene.’
5 The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Mvura zhinji dzandikomberedza dzikandityisa; pakadzikadzika pakandikomberedza; sora regungwa rakamonera musoro wangu.
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 LORD my God.
Kumidzi yamakomo ndakanyura; nyika yapasi yakandipfigiramo nokusingaperi. Asi makaburitsa upenyu hwangu kubva mugomba, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
“Upenyu hwangu pahwakanga hwotiza, ndakakurangarirai, imi Jehovha, uye munyengetero wangu wakauya kwamuri, kutemberi yenyu tsvene.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
“Vaya vanobatirira kuzvifananidzo zvisina maturo, vanorasa nyasha dzingadai dziri dzavo.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
Asi ini, norwiyo rwokuvonga, ndichabayira kwamuri. Zvandakapika ndichazvizadzisa. Ruponeso runobva kuna Jehovha.”
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
Uye Jehovha akarayira hove, ikandorutsira Jona panyika yakaoma.
