Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
Antan li te nan vant pwason an, Jonas lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye li a, li di:
2 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardst my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Nan mizè mwen te ye a, Seyè, mwen te rele nan pye ou, ou te reponn mwen. Byen fon nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, mwen te mande ou sekou, ou te tande vwa mwen. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
Ou te voye m' jete byen fon, nan fon lanmè. Dlo te sènen m' toupatou. Tout kouran dlo ak tout lanm lanmè yo te pase sou mwen.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards thy holy temple.
Mwen t'ap di nan kè m': Gen lè ou voye m' jete byen lwen ou. Mwen p'ap janm wè kay ki apa pou ou a ankò!
5 The waters encompassed me, [even] to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Dlo yo kouvri m', yo te prèt pou neye m'. Lanmè a te fin vale m', zèb lanmè te mare nan tout tèt mwen.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
Mwen desann, mwen desann, mwen rive jouk nan rasin mòn yo, nan peyi kote sa ki antre pa soti. Men, Seyè, Bondye mwen, ou rale m' soti nan twou a. Ou ban m' lavi ankò.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.
Lè m' santi mwen taprale vre, mwen vin chonje ou, Seyè! Mwen lapriyè nan pye ou. Kote ou chita nan tanp ki apa ou a, ou tande m'.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Moun k'ap sèvi zidòl ki pa vo anyen yo, se moun ki vire do bay Bondye ki bay favè a.
9 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] which I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
Men, m'ap chante pou m' fè lwanj ou, m'a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou. M'a kenbe angajman mwen te pran an. Se Seyè a ki delivrans nou.
10 And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
Lè sa a, Seyè a bay pwason an lòd pou li vonmi Jonas sou rivaj lanmè a.
