Jonas 2
1 Antan li te nan vant pwason an, Jonas lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye li a, li di:
And he prayed Jonah to Yahweh God his from [the] inward parts of the fish.
2 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)
And he said I called from distress of me to Yahweh and he answered me from [the] belly of Sheol I cried for help you heard voice my. (Sheol h7585)
3 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.
And you have thrown me [the] deep in [the] heart of [the] seas and a river it surrounds me all breakers your and waves your over me they have passed.
4 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!
And I I said I have been driven away from before eyes your nevertheless I will repeat to look to [the] temple of holiness your.
5 Dlo yo kouvri m', yo te prèt pou neye m'. Lanmè a te fin vale m', zèb lanmè te mare nan tout tèt mwen.
They have encompassed me waters to [the] neck [the] deep it surrounds me rush[es] [is] wrapped round to head my.
6 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.
To extremities of mountains I went down the earth bars its [were] behind me for ever and you brought up from [the] pit life my O Yahweh God my.
7 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'.
When fainted away on me life my Yahweh I remembered and it came to you prayer my to [the] temple of holiness your.
8 Moun k'ap sèvi zidòl ki pa vo anyen yo, se moun ki vire do bay Bondye ki bay favè a.
[those who] pay regard Vanities of nothingness loyalty their they abandon.
9 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.
And I with a voice of thanksgiving I will sacrifice to you [that] which I have vowed I will fulfill rescue [belongs] to Yahweh.
10 Lè sa a, Seyè a bay pwason an lòd pou li vonmi Jonas sou rivaj lanmè a.
And he spoke Yahweh to the fish and it vomited up Jonah to the dry land.
