Jonah 2
1 And he prayed Jonah to Yahweh God his from [the] inward parts of the fish.
UJona wasekhuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakhe esemathunjini enhlanzi,
2 And he said I called from distress of me to Yahweh and he answered me from [the] belly of Sheol I cried for help you heard voice my. (Sheol h7585)
wathi: Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngakhala eNkosini, yangiphendula; ngisesiswini sengcwaba ngamemeza, wena walizwa ilizwi lami. (Sheol h7585)
3 And you have thrown me [the] deep in [the] heart of [the] seas and a river it surrounds me all breakers your and waves your over me they have passed.
Ngoba wangiphosela enzikini, enhliziyweni yezinlwandle, lempophoma zangihanqa; wonke amagagasi akho lamavinqo akho kwedlula phezu kwami.
4 And I I said I have been driven away from before eyes your nevertheless I will repeat to look to [the] temple of holiness your.
Ngasengisithi mina: Ngixotshiwe phambi kobuso bakho; kanti ngizabuya ngikhangele ngasethempelini lakho elingcwele.
5 They have encompassed me waters to [the] neck [the] deep it surrounds me rush[es] [is] wrapped round to head my.
Amanzi angihanqile kuze kube semphefumulweni; inziki ingizingelezele; imihlanga yathandela ikhanda lami.
6 To extremities of mountains I went down the earth bars its [were] behind me for ever and you brought up from [the] pit life my O Yahweh God my.
Ngehlela ezisekelweni zezintaba; umhlaba, imigoqo yawo yangihanqa laphakade; kanti wenyuse impilo yami emgodini, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami.
7 When fainted away on me life my Yahweh I remembered and it came to you prayer my to [the] temple of holiness your.
Lapho umphefumulo wami uphela amandla phakathi kwami ngakhumbula iNkosi; lomkhuleko wami wafika kuwe, ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
8 [those who] pay regard Vanities of nothingness loyalty their they abandon.
Labo abagcina amanga ayize batshiya umusa wabo.
9 And I with a voice of thanksgiving I will sacrifice to you [that] which I have vowed I will fulfill rescue [belongs] to Yahweh.
Kodwa mina ngizakwenza umhlatshelo kuwe ngelizwi lokubonga, ngikhokhe lokho engikufungileyo; usindiso ngolweNkosi.
10 And he spoke Yahweh to the fish and it vomited up Jonah to the dry land.
INkosi yasikhuluma kuyo inhlanzi, yasimhlanza uJona emhlabathini owomileyo.
