Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
Nihalaly am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e, an-tro’ i fiañey ao t’Ionà,
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)
ami’ty hoe, Nitoreo am’ Iehovà amy fisotriakoy, le tinoi’e; nikoiake boak’ an-Tsikeokeok’ ao, vaho jinanji’o ty feoko. (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.
Fa navokovoko’o an-daleke ao iraho, an-teñateña’ o riakeo ao; nandipots’ ahy o kinera’eo; niary amboneko eo ze hene alo’o naho onja’o.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards thy holy temple.
Aa le hoe iraho, nahifike tsy ho isam-pihaino’o; fa ho toliheko indraike i kivoho’o miavakey.
5 The waters encompassed me, [even] to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Niarikoboñe ahy o ranoo, pak’an-troko, niariseho amako i lalekey; vinandibandi’ o lomotseo ty lohako.
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.
Nizotso mb’ am-baha’ o vohitseo; nañarikatok’ahy kitro katroke o tsotsò’ ty tane toio; fe nakare’o boak’ an-kibory ao ty haveloko, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.
Ie nitoirañe an-troko ao ty fiaiko, le nahatiahy Iehovà, vaho niheo mb’ama’o an-kivoho’o miavake ao ty halaliko.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Tsambolitio’ o mpañaon-kakoaham- bandeo ty fiferenaiñañe ama’e.
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.
Fe hañenga soroñe ama’o raho am-peom-pañandriañañe; havahako i ni-fantàkoy, fa boak’ am’ Iehovà ty fandrombahañe.
10 And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
Aa le nafanto’ Iehovà i fiañey, vaho naloa’e an-tamboho ey t’Ionà.
