Yoonaas 2
1 Yoonaas garaa qurxummii keessaa Waaqayyoon Waaqa isaa kadhate.
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah from the belly of the fish,
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)
and said: — I cried by reason of my distress to Jehovah, And he heard me: Out of the depth of the under-world I cried, And thou didst hear my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ati tuujubatti, garaa galaanaatti gad na darbatte; lolaanis na marse; dambalii fi dhaʼaan kee hundinuu narra garagalan.
Thou didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, And the flood compassed me about; All thy billows and thy waves passed 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 I will look again to thy holy temple!”
5 Bishaanonni na haguugan; tuujubni immoo na marse; aramaan galaanaas mataatti na marame.
The waters compassed me about, even to the life, The deep enclosed me round about; Sea-weeds were bound around 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 sank down to the foundations of the mountains; The bars of the earth were about me forever; Yet hast thou 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 to thee, To thy holy temple.
8 “Warri waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabnetti cichan araara Waaqaa irraa garagalu.
They that honor lying vanities forsake their 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 to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed; Salvation is from Jehovah.
10 Waaqayyos qurxummii sana ajaje; qurxummiin sunis lafa gogaa irratti Yoonaasin tufe.
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it cast out Jonah upon the dry land.
