Iona 2
1 A PULE aku la o Iona ia Iehova i kona Akua mai ka opu aku o ka ia, a i aku la,
Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
2 Ua kahea aku au, mai ko'u wahi pilikia, ia Iehova, a hoolohe mai ia ia'u. Mai ka opu o ka po i kahea aku ai au, a hoolohe mai oe i kuu leo. (Sheol h7585)
In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 No ka mea, ua kiola aku oe ia'u i ka hohonu, iwaenakonu o ke kai; Ua hoopuniia au e ke kai; O kou mau nalu a pau, a me kou mau ale, ua kaa iho la ia maluna o'u.
For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
4 Alaila, i iho la au, Ua hooleiia'ku au mai kou alo aku, Aka, e nana hou aku au i kou luakini hoano.
And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
5 Ua hoopuni na wai ia'u, a i ke ola, Ua hoopuni ka hohonu ia'u; Ua kaeiia ko'u poo i ka limu.
The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
6 Iho iho la au ilalo i na kumu o na mauna; Ua poai mau ia au e ka honua, a me kona mau kaola, Aka, ua lawe mai oe i kuu ola mai ka lua mai, e Iehova kuu Akua.
I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.
7 I ka wa i maule ai kuu uhane iloko o'u, hoomanao iho la au ia Iehova; A hele ae la ka'u pule i ou la i kou luakini hoano.
When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
8 O na mea malama i na mea lapuwale, ua haalele lakou i ko lakou pomaikai.
The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
9 Aka, e mohai aku au ia oe me ka leo hoomaikai; E hooko aku au i ka mea a'u i hoohiki ai. No Iehova mai ke ola.
But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.
10 A olelo mai o Iehova i ka ia, a luai aku ia ia Iona i ka aina maloo.
And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
