Yona 2
1 Awo Yona n’asinziira mu kyennyanja n’asaba Mukama Katonda we, ng’agamba
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly,
2 nti, “Mu nnaku yange ennyingi nakaabirira Mukama n’anziramu; mu buziba ewala mu magombe nakukoowoola, era n’owulira eddoboozi lyange! (Sheol h7585)
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Kubanga wansuula ewala mu buziba mu nnyanja, ne nzika, amayengo gonna, ensozi n’ensozi z’amazzi ebikunta ne bimbikka ne binneetooloola.
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Ne ndyoka njogera nti, ‘Ngobeddwa mu maaso go; Ddala ndiddayo nate okulaba yeekaalu yo entukuvu?’
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Nakkira ddala ku ntobo wansi w’amayengo, okufa ne kumbeerera ddala kumpi; Amazzi nga ganneetoolodde era ng’omuddo gw’omu nnyanja gunneezingiridde ku mutwe.
The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 Ne ŋŋendera ddala ku ntobo, ensozi z’omu nnyanja gye zisibuka, eyo, ensi n’ensibirayo emirembe n’emirembe. Naye ggwe Mukama Katonda wange, onzigye mu bunnya, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
7 “Bwe nnali nga mpweddemu essuubi, emmeeme yange ng’ezirika ne nkujjukira, Ayi Mukama Katonda. Awo okusaba kwange entakeera ne kutuuka mu yeekaalu yo entukuvu.
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 “Abo abassaayo omwoyo ku balubaale ne bakatonda abataliimu ne babasinza, beefiiriza okusaasirwa kwa Katonda okubalindiridde!
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 Naye nze, n’oluyimba olw’okukutendereza, ndikuwa ssaddaaka. Ddala ndituukiriza obweyamo bwange kubanga obulokozi buva eri Mukama Katonda.”
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
10 Awo Mukama Katonda n’alagira ekyennyanja ne kiwandula Yona n’agwa ettale ku lukalu.
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
