Jonah 2
1 And he prayed Jonah to Yahweh God his from [the] inward parts of the fish.
Akiwa ndani ya tumbo la nyangumi, Yona alimwomba Bwana Mungu wake.
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)
Akasema: “Katika shida yangu nalimwita Bwana, naye akanijibu. Kutoka kina cha kaburi niliomba msaada, nawe ukasikiliza kilio changu. (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.
Ulinitupa kwenye kilindi, ndani kabisa ya moyo wa bahari, mikondo ya maji ilinizunguka, mawimbi yako yote na viwimbi vilipita juu yangu.
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.
Nikasema, ‘Nimefukuziwa mbali na uso wako, hata hivyo nitatazama tena kuelekea Hekalu lako takatifu.’
5 They have encompassed me waters to [the] neck [the] deep it surrounds me rush[es] [is] wrapped round to head my.
Maji yaliyonimeza yalinitisha, kilindi kilinizunguka; mwani ulijisokota kichwani pangu.
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.
Nilizama chini sana mpaka pande za mwisho za milima, makomeo ya hiyo nchi yalinifungia hata milele. Lakini uliuleta uhai wangu kutoka shimoni, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu.
7 When fainted away on me life my Yahweh I remembered and it came to you prayer my to [the] temple of holiness your.
“Wakati uhai wangu ulipokuwa unatoka, nilikukumbuka wewe, Bwana, nayo maombi yangu yalikufikia wewe, katika Hekalu lako takatifu.
8 [those who] pay regard Vanities of nothingness loyalty their they abandon.
“Wale watu wanaongʼangʼana na sanamu zisizofaa hupoteza neema ile ambayo ingekuwa yao.
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.
Lakini mimi, kwa wimbo wa shukrani, nitakutolea dhabihu. Lile nililowekea nadhiri nitalitimiza. Wokovu watoka kwa Bwana.”
10 And he spoke Yahweh to the fish and it vomited up Jonah to the dry land.
Basi Bwana akamwamuru yule nyangumi, naye akamtapika Yona katika nchi kavu.
