Jona 2
1 Dia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny tao an-kibon’ ny hazandrano Jona
Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
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)
In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to 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 have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
4 Dia hoy izaho: Voaroaka tsy ho eo anatrehanao aho, Nefa mbola nanatrika ny tempolinao masìna ihany.
And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see 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 were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round 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.
I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, 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.
When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
8 Izay mivavaka amin’ ny sampy Dia mahafoy Izay Mpamindra fo aminy
The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
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 will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.
10 Ary Jehovah nandidy ilay hazandrano, ka dia naloany ho eny amin’ ny tany maina Jona.
And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
