Jonas 2
1 Konsa, Jonas te priye a SENYÈ Bondye li a depi nan vant pwason an.
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, 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)
He said, “I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard 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 you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows 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.’
I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again towards your 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 surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around 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 barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, LORD 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 the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 Sila ki konsidere zidòl san valè yo abandone tout sous mizerikòd,
Those who regard vain idols 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 to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.”
10 Epi SENYÈ a te kòmande pwason an e li te vomi Jonas sou tè sèch la.
Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
