योना 2
1 तब योनाले त्यस माछाको पेटबाट आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरसँग प्रार्थना गरे ।
[While he was] inside the huge fish, Jonah prayed to Yahweh God, [whom] he [worshiped. After Yahweh told him that he would answer his prayer, ]
2 तिनले भने, “मेरो सङ्कष्टको बारेमा मैले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारें र उहाँले मलाई जवाज दिनुभयो । चिहानको गर्भबाट मैले सहायताको निम्ति पुकारें! तपाईंले मेरो सोर सुन्नुभयो । (Sheol h7585)
Jonah said, “Yahweh, when I was greatly distressed [here], I prayed to you, and you heard what I [prayed]. When I was [about to descend way down into] the place where dead people go, you heard me when I called out [for you to help/save me]. (Sheol h7585)
3 तपाईंले मलाई गहिरा ठाउँहरूमा, समुद्रको अन्तस्करणमा नै फाल्नुभएको थियो, अनि धारहरूले मलाई घेरे, र तपाईंका सबै छालहरू र लहरहरू ममाथि भए ।
You threw me [down] into the deep [water], into the bottom [DOU] of the sea. The currents of the sea swirled around me, and the huge waves crashed above me.
4 मैले भनें, ‘तपाईंको नजरबाट म हटाइएको छु, अझै म फेरि तपाईंको पवित्र मन्दिरतिर आफ्ना आँखा लगाउनेछु ।’
Then I thought, ‘You have banished me, and I will never be able to enter your presence again. I will never see your holy temple [in Jerusalem] again!’
5 पानीले मेरा घाँटीसम्म नै भर्यो । र मेरो सबैतिर समुद्रको गहिराइ थियो, र मेरो टाउकोमा समुद्रका झारहरू बेहेरिए ।
The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 पहाडका फेदहरूमा म तल गएँ, र पृथ्वीले आफ्ना घेराहरूले सदाको निम्ति मलाई थुनिदियो । तापनि हे परमप्रभु, मेरा परमेश्वर, तपाईंले मेरो जीवनलाई खाडलबाट माथि ल्याउनुभयो ।
I sank down to where the mountains start rising [MET] [from the bottom of the sea]. I thought that forever [it would be as though] my body would be in a prison [MTY] [inside the earth] below me. But you, Yahweh God, whom I [worship], rescued me from going down to the place of the dead.
7 जब मेरो प्राणले मभित्रै मुर्छा खायो, तब मैले परमप्रभुलाई याद गरें, अनि मेरो प्रार्थना तपाईंकहाँ, तपाईंको पवित्र मन्दिरमा आयो ।
When I was almost dead [EUP], Yahweh, I (thought about/prayed to) you. You [heard] my prayer, up [there where] you [are, in] your holy temple.
8 तिनीहरूले प्रेमपुर्ण विश्वस्ततालाई प्रेम गर्न छोड्दा, तिनीहरूले बेकारका देवताहरूमाथि ध्यान लगाए ।
All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
9 तर मेरो बारेमा, उच्च सोरले म तपाईंलाई धन्यवादको बलिदान चढाउँछु । मैले गरेको भाकल म पुरा गर्नेछु । मुक्ति परमप्रभुबाट नै आउँछ!”
But I will sing to thank [you], and I will offer a sacrifice to you. I will [surely] do what I have solemnly promised [to do]. Yahweh, you are the one who is [able to] save [us].”
10 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले माछालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभयो, र त्यसले योनालाई सुख्खा जमिनमा उकेलिदियो ।
Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
