Yoonis 2
1 Markaasaa Yoonis Rabbigii Ilaahiisa ahaa baryay, isagoo ku dhex jira calooshii kalluunka.
[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 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Dhibaatadayda aawadeed ayaan Rabbiga ugu yeedhay, Isna wuu ii jawaabay. Waxaan ka dhex qayliyey She'ool uurkiisa, Adna codkaygaad maqashay. (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 Waayo, waxaad igu dhex tuurtay moolka iyo badda uurkeeda. Hareerahaygana waxaa ku wareegsanaa daad, Hirarkaagii iyo mawjadahaagii oo dhammuna way i dul mareen.
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 Kolkaasaan idhi, Indhahaaga hortooda waa layga tuuray; Welise waxaan mar kale eegayaa macbudkaaga quduuskaa.
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 Biyihii way i hareerayeen xataa naftayda, Moolkiina wuu igu wareegsanaa; Madaxaygana waxaa ku duudduubnaa caws badeed.
The water surrounded me, and threatened to drown me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 Waxaan hoos ugu dhaadhacay buuraha guntooda; Oo weligay waxaa i awday dhulkii iyo gudbayaashiisiiba; Laakiinse, Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, noloshaydii waxaad ka soo bixisay yamayskii.
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 Markii naftaydu itaal darnaatay ayaan ku xusuustay, Rabbiyow; Oo baryadaydii adigay kuu timid, oo waxay kuugu soo gashay macbudkaaga quduuskaa.
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 Kuwa waxyaalaha beenta ah oo aan micne lahayn ku fikiraa Waxay ka tagaan naxariistoodii.
All those who worship worthless idols are rejecting [you], the one who [could] act kindly toward them.
9 Aniguse codka mahadnaqidda ayaan allabari kuugu bixin doonaa; Wixii aan nidrayna waan bixinayaa. Badbaado waxaa leh Rabbiga.
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 Markaasuu Rabbigu kalluunkii amray, kalluunkiina wuxuu Yoonis ku mantagay berriga.
Then Yahweh commanded the huge fish to vomit out Jonah, [and the fish did that], and [Jonah was able to get] to the land.
