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,
Jonah 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 said: I cried out of my distress, to the Lord and he answered me; out of the midst of Sheol I cried aloud, and 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 cast me into the deep, into heart of the seas, and the great flood rolled about me; all your breakers and your 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.
Then I said, I am driven out, away from your sight; How will I ever again look towards 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, the great deep engulfed me, the sea weeds were wrapped about 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 roots of the mountains; the prison of the earth closed over me forever. Yet you brought up my life from destruction, 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.
As my life slipped away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer reached you, in your holy temple.
8 O na mea malama i na mea lapuwale, ua haalele lakou i ko lakou pomaikai.
Those who worship worthless idols abandon 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 will sacrifice to you with loud thanksgiving! I will pay that which I have vowed. 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 the Lord spoke to the fish, and it threw up Jonah upon the dry land.
