Jonah 2
1 Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
Nihalaly am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e, an-tro’ i fiañey ao t’Ionà,
2 And he said, I called from the midst of my distress unto the Lord, and he hath answered me: out of the depth of the grave have I cried, and thou hast heard 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 hast cast me into the deep, in the heart of the seas; and the stream compasseth me about: all thy billows and thy waves have 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 thought indeed, I am driven out from before thy eyes: yet I again shall look 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 surrounded me, to the peril of my life; the deep compassed me about: sea-weeds were bound about my head.
Niarikoboñe ahy o ranoo, pak’an-troko, niariseho amako i lalekey; vinandibandi’ o lomotseo ty lohako.
6 To the bottoms of the mountains did I go down; the earth [closed] her bars about me for ever: when thou broughtest 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 unto thee, unto 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 guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
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 will I pay; [for] help is with 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 commanded 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.
