Jona 2
1 Dia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny tao an-kibon’ ny hazandrano Jona
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
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 by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardst 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 thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Dia hoy izaho: Voaroaka tsy ho eo anatrehanao aho, Nefa mbola nanatrika ny tempolinao masìna ihany.
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards thy 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 encompassed me, [even] to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about 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 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 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 remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.
8 Izay mivavaka amin’ ny sampy Dia mahafoy Izay Mpamindra fo aminy
They that observe lying vanities forsake 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 thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] which I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
10 Ary Jehovah nandidy ilay hazandrano, ka dia naloany ho eny amin’ ny tany maina Jona.
And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
