Jonah 2
1 And Jonah prays to his God YHWH from the bowels of the fish.
Konsa, Jonas te priye a SENYÈ Bondye li a depi nan vant pwason an.
2 And he says: “I called, because of my distress, to YHWH, And He answers me, From the belly of Sheol I have cried, You have heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Li te di: “Mwen te rele nan detrès mwen bay SENYÈ a, e Li te reponn mwen. Mwen te kriye pou sekou depi nan pwofondè sejou mò yo. Ou te tande vwa mwen. (Sheol h7585)
3 When You cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood surrounds me, All Your breakers and Your billows have passed over me.
Ou te jete mwen nan gwo pwofondè a, nan kè lanmè yo, e gwo kouran dlo a te vale mwen. Gwo lam lanmè ou yo ak gwo vag lanmè ou yo te pase sou mwen.
4 And I said: I have been cast out from before Your eyes (Yet I add to look to Your holy temple!)
Konsa, mwen te di: ‘Mwen te vin chase lwen fas ou. Malgre sa, mwen va gade ankò vè tanp sen Ou an.’
5 Waters have surrounded me to the soul, The deep surrounds me, The weed is bound to my head.
Dlo te antoure mwen jiskaske m rive nan pwen lanmò. Gwo pwofondè a te vale mwen; zèb lanmè yo te vlope tèt mwen.
6 To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars [are] behind me for all time. And You bring my life up from the pit, O YHWH my God.
Mwen te desann jis rive nan baz mòn yo. Latè ak bawo li yo te antoure mwen pou tout tan, men Ou te leve lavi m monte soti nan fòs la, O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an!
7 In the feebleness of my soul within me, I have remembered YHWH, And my prayer comes to You, Into Your holy temple.
“Pandan mwen t ap vin endispoze nèt, Mwen te sonje SENYÈ a e lapriyè mwen te rive kote Ou nan tanp sen Ou an.
8 Those observing lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Sila ki konsidere zidòl san valè yo abandone tout sous mizerikòd,
9 And I—with a voice of thanksgiving—I sacrifice to You, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of YHWH.”
Men mwen va fè sakrifis a Ou menm ak vwa aksyon de gras la. Sa ke mwen te sèmante a, se li mwen va akonpli. Sali a sòti nan SENYÈ a.”
10 And YHWH speaks to the fish, and it vomits Jonah out on the dry land.
Epi SENYÈ a te kòmande pwason an e li te vomi Jonas sou tè sèch la.
