Jona 2
1 Dia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny tao an-kibon’ ny hazandrano Jona
From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,
2 ka nanao hoe: Niantso an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny fahoriako aho, Ka dia namaly ahy Izy; Tao anatin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita no nitarainako, Dia nihaino ny feoko Hianao. (Sheol h7585)
saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Fa efa natsipinao tao amin’ ny lalina aho, Dia tao amin’ ny ranomasina, Ka voasafotry ny riaka aho; Nanarona ahy ny alon-dranonao sy ny onjanao rehetra.
For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.
4 Dia hoy izaho: Voaroaka tsy ho eo anatrehanao aho, Nefa mbola nanatrika ny tempolinao masìna ihany.
At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’
5 Ny rano nanarona ahy hatramin’ ny aiko, Ny lalina namefy ahy manodidina; Ny zava-maniry any an-dranomasina nisingotra manodidina ny lohako.
The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.
6 Tafalatsaka tany amin’ ny fanambanin’ ny tendrombohitra aho; Ny hidin’ ny tany nanidy ahy mandrakizay; Nefa nampiakatra ny aiko avy tao an-davaka Hianao, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô.
To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!
7 Raha reraka tato anatiko ny fanahiko, Dia nahatsiaro an’ i Jehovah aho; Ka tonga tao aminao ny fivavako, Dia tao amin’ ny tempolinao masìna.
As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.
8 Izay mivavaka amin’ ny sampy Dia mahafoy Izay Mpamindra fo aminy
Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.
9 Fa izaho, dia feo midera no entiko mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho Anao, Ary izay nivoadiako dia hefaiko; An’ i Jehovah ny famonjena.
But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”
10 Ary Jehovah nandidy ilay hazandrano, ka dia naloany ho eny amin’ ny tany maina Jona.
And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
