Jonas 2
1 Konsa, Jonas te priye a SENYÈ Bondye li a depi nan vant pwason an.
Then Jonah prayed unto Yhwh his God out of the fish’s belly,
2 Li te di: “Mwen te rele nan detrès mwen bay SENYÈ a, e Li te reponn mwen. Mwen te kriye pou sekou depi nan pwofondè sejou mò yo. Ou te tande vwa mwen. (Sheol h7585)
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto Yhwh, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ou te jete mwen nan gwo pwofondè a, nan kè lanmè yo, e gwo kouran dlo a te vale mwen. Gwo lam lanmè ou yo ak gwo vag lanmè ou yo te pase sou mwen.
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Konsa, mwen te di: ‘Mwen te vin chase lwen fas ou. Malgre sa, mwen va gade ankò vè tanp sen Ou an.’
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Dlo te antoure mwen jiskaske m rive nan pwen lanmò. Gwo pwofondè a te vale mwen; zèb lanmè yo te vlope tèt mwen.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 Mwen te desann jis rive nan baz mòn yo. Latè ak bawo li yo te antoure mwen pou tout tan, men Ou te leve lavi m monte soti nan fòs la, O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an!
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 Yhwh my God.
7 “Pandan mwen t ap vin endispoze nèt, Mwen te sonje SENYÈ a e lapriyè mwen te rive kote Ou nan tanp sen Ou an.
When my soul fainted within me I remembered Yhwh: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 Sila ki konsidere zidòl san valè yo abandone tout sous mizerikòd,
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 Men mwen va fè sakrifis a Ou menm ak vwa aksyon de gras la. Sa ke mwen te sèmante a, se li mwen va akonpli. Sali a sòti nan SENYÈ a.”
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of Yhwh.
10 Epi SENYÈ a te kòmande pwason an e li te vomi Jonas sou tè sèch la.
And Yhwh spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
