Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to YHWH, his God, out of the fish's belly.
Katahi a Hona ka inoi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, i roto i te kopu o te ika,
2 He said, "I called because of my affliction to YHWH. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
I mea ia, I karanga ahau, he ngakau mamae noku, ki a Ihowa; a whakahoki mai ana ia ki ahau; i tangi atu ahau i roto i te kopu o te reinga, a whakarongo ana koe ki toku reo. (Sheol h7585)
3 For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your breakers and waves passed over me.
I maka hoki ahau e koe ki te rire, ki waenga moana, a karapotia ana ahau e nga roma; tika ana au tuatea katoa me au ngaru i runga i ahau.
4 I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.'
Na ka mea ahau, Kua oti ahau te pei i mua i ou kanohi; otiia tera ahau e titiro atu ano ki tou temepara tapu.
5 The waters surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep was around me. The end is upon my head.
Karapotia ana ahau e te wai, tae tonu iho ki te wairua; i oku taha katoa te rire a taka noa; he rimu nga takai o toku mahunga.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, YHWH my God.
I haere ahau ki raro ki nga take o nga maunga; kopia ana ahau e te whenua me ona tutaki ake ake; heoi whakaputaina ake ana e koe toku ora i roto i te poka, e Ihowa, e toku Atua.
7 "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered YHWH. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
I te hemonga o toku wairua i roto i ahau, i mahara ahau ki a Ihowa: i tae atu ano taku inoi ki a koe ki tou temepara tapu.
8 Those who regard worthless things forsake their faithfulness.
Ko te hunga e pupuri ana i nga mea tekateka noa e whakarere ana i te atawhai mo ratou.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to YHWH."
Ko ahau ia ka mea patunga tapu ki a koe i runga i te reo whakawhetai; ka whakamana e ahau aku kupu taurangi. Na Ihowa te whakaoranga.
10 YHWH spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki te ika, a ka ruakina e tera a Hona ki te wahi maroke.
