< Jonah 2 >

1 [While he was] inside the huge fish, Jonah prayed to Yahweh God, [whom] he [worshiped. After Yahweh told him that he would answer his prayer, ]
Youna e menabo hagomo ganodini esala. E da ea Hina Godema sia: ne gadoi.
2 Jonah said, “Yahweh, when I was greatly distressed [here], I prayed to you, and you heard what I [prayed]. When I was [about to descend way down into] the place where dead people go, you heard me when I called out [for you to help/save me]. (Sheol h7585)
E amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Na da se bagadedafa nababeba: le, Dima wele sia: ne gadoi. Amola Dia na sia: ne gadobe amo nabalu, dabe i. Na da soge wadela: i ganodini esalu, amo da dunu bogogia: su soge diala, amola na Dia fidima: ne di. Amola na dibi amo di nabi dagoi. (Sheol h7585)
3 You threw me [down] into the deep [water], into the bottom [DOU] of the sea. The currents of the sea swirled around me, and the huge waves crashed above me.
Dia na hano lugududafaga ha: digi amola da hano gafului amoea na huluane dedebosa.
4 Then I thought, ‘You have banished me, and I will never be able to enter your presence again. I will never see your holy temple [in Jerusalem] again!’
Na agoane dawa: i, Dia da na fisi dagoi, amola na da Dia hadigi Debolo diasu noga: idafa bu hamedafa ba: mu dawa: i galu.
5 The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
Hano misini na dedeboi, amola hano wayabo misini na da: i huluanedafa dedeboi amola hano gadula: me da na da: i busa: gi amola huluane lala: gili dedeboi dagoi.
6 I sank down to where the mountains start rising [MET] [from the bottom of the sea]. I thought that forever [it would be as though] my body would be in a prison [MTY] [inside the earth] below me. But you, Yahweh God, whom I [worship], rescued me from going down to the place of the dead.
Na amo hano haguduga goumi, dabua gadonini dala gududafa doaga: i, amo soge amoea, na masunu gogolele, logo ga: si dialu. Be amomane Hina Gode Bagade, Di da na Godedafa, Dia na bu laiba: le. Amola, luguduga lale, na esaleawane bu walesi.
7 When I was almost dead [EUP], Yahweh, I (thought about/prayed to) you. You [heard] my prayer, up [there where] you [are, in] your holy temple.
Hina Gode! Na dawa: loba, na da bogomu gadenei agoai ba: i. Be amomane, na Dima dafawane dawa: i. Amola na Hina Gode, Dima sia: ne gadoiba: le, Di da Dia hadigi Debolo Diasu ganodini nabi.
8 All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
Dunu fifi asi gala amo da loboga hahamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ma sia: ne gadosa, amo ilia da Dima fa: no bobogesu hou yolesi dagoi.
9 But I will sing to thank [you], and I will offer a sacrifice to you. I will [surely] do what I have solemnly promised [to do]. Yahweh, you are the one who is [able to] save [us].”
Be na da Dima hahawane gesami hea: su hamomu. Na Dima gobele salasu hou hamomu, amola ni ilegele sia: i defele hamomu. Be gaga: su houdafa da Dima fawane maha, na Hina Gode!”
10 Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
Amanoba Hina Gode da menaboma isoma: ne sia: beba: le, menabo da Youna e boso da: iya, isole ligisi.
