< Yoonaas 2 >
1 Yoonaas garaa qurxummii keessaa Waaqayyoon Waaqa isaa kadhate.
And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
2 Innis akkana jedhe: “Ani rakkina koo keessatti Waaqayyoon waammadhe; innis deebii naaf kenne. Ani gargaarsa barbaacha garaa siiʼool keessaa nan iyye; atis iyya koo naaf dhageesse. (Sheol )
and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol )
3 Ati tuujubatti, garaa galaanaatti gad na darbatte; lolaanis na marse; dambalii fi dhaʼaan kee hundinuu narra garagalan.
For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
4 Anis, ‘Kunoo ani fuula kee duraa balleeffameera; taʼus ani deebiʼee gara mana qulqullummaa keetii qulqulluu sanaan ilaala’ nan jedhe.
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Bishaanonni na haguugan; tuujubni immoo na marse; aramaan galaanaas mataatti na marame.
The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 Ani gara hundee tulluuwwaniittin gad liqimfame; balballi lafa jalaas bara baraan natti cufame. Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ati garuu lubbuu koo boolla keessaa ol baafte.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 “Yaa Waaqayyo, yeroo lubbuun koo dadhabdetti ani sin yaadadhe; kadhannaan koos gara kee gara mana qulqullummaa kee qulqullichaatti ol baʼe.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
8 “Warri waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabnetti cichan araara Waaqaa irraa garagalu.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 Ani garuu faarfannaa galataatiin aarsaa siif nan dhiʼeessa. Ani wareegan wareege sanas nan baasa. Anis, ‘Fayyinni Waaqayyo biraa dhufa’” nan jedha.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 Waaqayyos qurxummii sana ajaje; qurxummiin sunis lafa gogaa irratti Yoonaasin tufe.
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
