< Yona 2 >
1 Yona do gbe ɖa na Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la le tɔmelã gã la ƒe dɔ me be,
And Jonas preiede to the Lord his God fro the fischis wombe,
2 “Le nye xaxa gã me, medo ɣli na Yehowa, eye wòɖo tom. Meyɔe le aʋlime ke, eye Yehowa se nye kokoƒoƒo! (Sheol )
and seide, Y criede to God of my tribulacioun, and he herde me; fro the wombe of helle Y criede, and thou herdist my vois. (Sheol )
3 Ekɔm ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu ƒe gogloƒe ke; meyi to, ƒu dzeagbo la ŋe tsyɔ dzinye, eye ƒutsotsoe sesẽwo si to dzinye.
Thou castidist me doun in to depnesse, in the herte of the see, and the flood cumpasside me; alle thi swolowis and thi wawis passiden on me.
4 Ale megblɔ be, ‘O Yehowa, ènyam ɖa le wò ŋkume. Ke hã la, magatrɔ mo ɖe wò gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la gbɔ.’
And Y seide, Y am cast awei fro siyt of thin iyen; netheles eftsoone Y schal see thin hooli temple.
5 Tsi la tsyɔ dzinye, tɔ goglo la ƒo xlãm, eye ƒumegbewo bliba ta nam.
Watris cumpassiden me `til to my soule, depnesse enuyrownede me, the see hilide myn heed.
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!
Y wente doun to the vtmeste places of hillis, the barris of erthe closiden me togidere, in to withouten ende; and thou, my Lord God, schalt reise vp my lijf fro corrupcioun.
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.
Whanne my soule was angwisched in me, Y bithouyte on the Lord, that my preier come to thee, to thin hooli temple.
8 “Ame siwo subɔa alakpamawuwo la bua Yehowa ƒe amenuveve si anye wo tɔ!
Thei that kepen vanytees, forsaken his merci idili.
9 Ke nye la, matsɔ akpedaha asa vɔe na wò, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefe na wò, elabena Yehowa gbɔe ɖeɖe tsona.”
But Y in vois of heriyng schal offre to thee; what euer thingis Y vowide, Y schal yelde to the Lord, for myn helthe.
10 Ale Yehowa ɖe gbe na ƒumelã la, eye wòyi ɖatu Yona ɖe anyigba ƒuƒui dzi.
And the Lord seide to the fisch, and it castide out Jonas `in to the drie lond.
