Jonah 2
1 Na ke Jonah el muta insien ik soko ah, el pre nu sin LEUM GOD lal ac fahk:
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah from the belly of the fish,
2 “O LEUM GOD, ke nga muta in ongoiya nga pang nu sum, Ac kom topukyu. Nga pang nu sum infulan facl sin mwet misa me in suk kasru, Ac kom lohngyu. (Sheol h7585)
and said: — I cried by reason of my distress to Jehovah, And he heard me: Out of the depth of the under-world I cried, And thou didst hear my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Kom sisyula nu yen loallana in meoa uh, Acn ma kof uh apinyula Ac noa lulap toki fuk.
Thou didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, And the flood compassed me about; All thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Nga nunku mu kom sisyula liki ye motom Ac nga fah tia ku in sifilpa liye Tempul mutal lom.
And I said, “I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again to thy holy temple!”
5 Kof uh tilmakinyuwi ac tulokinya monguk. Meoa uh apinyula, Ac kormwek uh punla insifuk.
The waters compassed me about, even to the life, The deep enclosed me round about; Sea-weeds were bound around my head;
6 Nga tilla nwe ke nga sun kapin eol ye kof uh, Nu in acn su mutunpot kac kaul ma pahtpat. Ne ouinge, O LEUM GOD luk, Kom folokinyume liki acn loal sac, ac nga moulla.
I sank down to the foundations of the mountains; The bars of the earth were about me forever; Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah, my God!
7 Ke nga pula lah moul luk apkuran in safla, Nga pang nu sum, O LEUM GOD, Ac kom lohngyu in Tempul mutal lom.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah, And my prayer came to thee, To thy holy temple.
8 Elos su alu nu ke ma srulaola lusrongten, Elos ngetla liki kom ac tia sifil inse pwaye nu sum.
They that honor lying vanities forsake their mercy;
9 Tusruktu nga fah yuk on in kaksak nu sum. Nga fah orek kisa nu sum Ac oru oana ma nga wulela kac. Molela tuku sin LEUM GOD me!”
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed; Salvation is from Jehovah.
10 Na LEUM GOD El sap ik soko ah in wihtaclla Jonah nu weacn uh, ac el wihtaclla.
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it cast out Jonah upon the dry land.
