Jona 2
1 Nihalaly am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e, an-tro’ i fiañey ao t’Ionà,
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly.
2 ami’ty hoe, Nitoreo am’ Iehovà amy fisotriakoy, le tinoi’e; nikoiake boak’ an-Tsikeokeok’ ao, vaho jinanji’o ty feoko. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he answered me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Fa navokovoko’o an-daleke ao iraho, an-teñateña’ o riakeo ao; nandipots’ ahy o kinera’eo; niary amboneko eo ze hene alo’o naho onja’o.
For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
4 Aa le hoe iraho, nahifike tsy ho isam-pihaino’o; fa ho toliheko indraike i kivoho’o miavakey.
And I said, am cast out from before thine eyes; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Niarikoboñe ahy o ranoo, pak’an-troko, niariseho amako i lalekey; vinandibandi’ o lomotseo ty lohako.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 Nizotso mb’ am-baha’ o vohitseo; nañarikatok’ahy kitro katroke o tsotsò’ ty tane toio; fe nakare’o boak’ an-kibory ao ty haveloko, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [closed] upon me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
7 Ie nitoirañe an-troko ao ty fiaiko, le nahatiahy Iehovà, vaho niheo mb’ama’o an-kivoho’o miavake ao ty halaliko.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 Tsambolitio’ o mpañaon-kakoaham- bandeo ty fiferenaiñañe ama’e.
They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 Fe hañenga soroñe ama’o raho am-peom-pañandriañañe; havahako i ni-fantàkoy, fa boak’ am’ Iehovà ty fandrombahañe.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 Aa le nafanto’ Iehovà i fiañey, vaho naloa’e an-tamboho ey t’Ionà.
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
