Jona 2
1 Dia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny tao an-kibon’ ny hazandrano Jona
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
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)
and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: 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.
You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon me.
4 Dia hoy izaho: Voaroaka tsy ho eo anatrehanao aho, Nefa mbola nanatrika ny tempolinao masìna ihany.
And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again 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.
Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
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 clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
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 was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
8 Izay mivavaka amin’ ny sampy Dia mahafoy Izay Mpamindra fo aminy
They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
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 sacrifice to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
10 Ary Jehovah nandidy ilay hazandrano, ka dia naloany ho eny amin’ ny tany maina Jona.
And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
