Yoonaas 2
1 Yoonaas garaa qurxummii keessaa Waaqayyoon Waaqa isaa kadhate.
Then Jonah prayed to 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 h7585)
He said, "I called because of my affliction to Jehovah. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ati tuujubatti, garaa galaanaatti gad na darbatte; lolaanis na marse; dambalii fi dhaʼaan kee hundinuu narra garagalan.
For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your breakers and waves passed over me.
4 Anis, ‘Kunoo ani fuula kee duraa balleeffameera; taʼus ani deebiʼee gara mana qulqullummaa keetii qulqulluu sanaan ilaala’ nan jedhe.
I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.'
5 Bishaanonni na haguugan; tuujubni immoo na marse; aramaan galaanaas mataatti na marame.
The waters surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep was around me. The end is upon 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 earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, 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. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 “Warri waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabnetti cichan araara Waaqaa irraa garagalu.
Those who regard worthless things forsake their faithfulness.
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 to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Jehovah."
10 Waaqayyos qurxummii sana ajaje; qurxummiin sunis lafa gogaa irratti Yoonaasin tufe.
Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
