Jona 2
1 Dia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny tao an-kibon’ ny hazandrano Jona
Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the fish's stomach.
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)
He said, “I called out to Yahweh about my distress and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried out for help! 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 had thrown me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the currents surrounded me; all your waves and billows passed over me.
4 Dia hoy izaho: Voaroaka tsy ho eo anatrehanao aho, Nefa mbola nanatrika ny tempolinao masìna ihany.
I said, 'I am driven out from before your eyes; yet I will again look 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 closed around me up to my neck; the deep was all around me; 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.
I went down to the bases of the mountains; the earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh, 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 fainted within me, I called Yahweh to mind; then my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
8 Izay mivavaka amin’ ny sampy Dia mahafoy Izay Mpamindra fo aminy
They give attention to useless gods while they forsake loving faithfulness.
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 as for me, I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving; I will fulfill that which I have vowed. Salvation comes from Yahweh!”
10 Ary Jehovah nandidy ilay hazandrano, ka dia naloany ho eny amin’ ny tany maina Jona.
Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited up Jonah upon the dry land.
