< 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,
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
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)
And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard 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.
And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed 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 am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
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 compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered 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 lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, 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 was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 O na mea malama i na mea lapuwale, ua haalele lakou i ko lakou pomaikai.
They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
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 with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
10 A olelo mai o Iehova i ka ia, a luai aku ia ia Iona i ka aina maloo.
And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
