Yona 2
1 Yona do gbe ɖa na Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la le tɔmelã gã la ƒe dɔ me be,
Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
2 “Le nye xaxa gã me, medo ɣli na Yehowa, eye wòɖo tom. Meyɔe le aʋlime ke, eye Yehowa se nye kokoƒoƒo! (Sheol h7585)
And said, I cryed in mine affliction vnto the Lord, and he heard me: out of the bellie of hell cryed I, and thou heardest my voyce. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ekɔm ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu ƒe gogloƒe ke; meyi to, ƒu dzeagbo la ŋe tsyɔ dzinye, eye ƒutsotsoe sesẽwo si to dzinye.
For thou haddest cast me into the bottome in the middes of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy surges, and all thy waues passed ouer me.
4 Ale megblɔ be, ‘O Yehowa, ènyam ɖa le wò ŋkume. Ke hã la, magatrɔ mo ɖe wò gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la gbɔ.’
Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
5 Tsi la tsyɔ dzinye, tɔ goglo la ƒo xlãm, eye ƒumegbewo bliba ta nam.
The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
6 Meyi to ɖe to kɔkɔ siwo le ƒua me la ƒe agu nu ke. Wotu agbe ƒe mɔ ɖe nunye eye wode gam ɖe ku ƒe anyigba dzi. Gake wò Yehowa, nye Mawu, èɖem tso ku ƒe asi me!
I went downe to the bottome of the moutaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer, yet hast thou brought vp my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
7 “Esi nye agbe nu le tsotsom la, meda nye susuwo ɖe dziwò, Yehowa, eye nye gbedodoɖa ɖo gbɔwò le wò gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la me.
When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
8 “Ame siwo subɔa alakpamawuwo la bua Yehowa ƒe amenuveve si anye wo tɔ!
They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
9 Ke nye la, matsɔ akpedaha asa vɔe na wò, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na wò, elabena Yehowa gbɔe ɖeɖe tsona.”
But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
10 Ale Yehowa ɖe gbe na ƒumelã la, eye wòyi ɖatu Yona ɖe anyigba ƒuƒui dzi.
And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
