< 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 prayed to Jehovah, his God, out of the fish's belly.
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)
He said, "I called because of my affliction to Jehovah. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You 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.
For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your breakers and waves 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.
I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward 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 surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep was around me. The end is upon 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 bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Jehovah 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 fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. 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.
Those who regard worthless things forsake their faithfulness.
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 sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Jehovah."
10 A olelo mai o Iehova i ka ia, a luai aku ia ia Iona i ka aina maloo.
Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
