Yona 2
1 Akiwa ndani ya tumbo la nyangumi, Yona alimwomba Bwana Mungu wake.
And he prayed Jonah to Yahweh God his from [the] inward parts of the fish.
2 Akasema: “Katika shida yangu nalimwita Bwana, naye akanijibu. Kutoka kina cha kaburi niliomba msaada, nawe ukasikiliza kilio changu. (Sheol h7585)
And he said I called from distress of me to Yahweh and he answered me from [the] belly of Sheol I cried for help you heard voice my. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ulinitupa kwenye kilindi, ndani kabisa ya moyo wa bahari, mikondo ya maji ilinizunguka, mawimbi yako yote na viwimbi vilipita juu yangu.
And you have thrown me [the] deep in [the] heart of [the] seas and a river it surrounds me all breakers your and waves your over me they have passed.
4 Nikasema, ‘Nimefukuziwa mbali na uso wako, hata hivyo nitatazama tena kuelekea Hekalu lako takatifu.’
And I I said I have been driven away from before eyes your nevertheless I will repeat to look to [the] temple of holiness your.
5 Maji yaliyonimeza yalinitisha, kilindi kilinizunguka; mwani ulijisokota kichwani pangu.
They have encompassed me waters to [the] neck [the] deep it surrounds me rush[es] [is] wrapped round to head my.
6 Nilizama chini sana mpaka pande za mwisho za milima, makomeo ya hiyo nchi yalinifungia hata milele. Lakini uliuleta uhai wangu kutoka shimoni, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu.
To extremities of mountains I went down the earth bars its [were] behind me for ever and you brought up from [the] pit life my O Yahweh God my.
7 “Wakati uhai wangu ulipokuwa unatoka, nilikukumbuka wewe, Bwana, nayo maombi yangu yalikufikia wewe, katika Hekalu lako takatifu.
When fainted away on me life my Yahweh I remembered and it came to you prayer my to [the] temple of holiness your.
8 “Wale watu wanaongʼangʼana na sanamu zisizofaa hupoteza neema ile ambayo ingekuwa yao.
[those who] pay regard Vanities of nothingness loyalty their they abandon.
9 Lakini mimi, kwa wimbo wa shukrani, nitakutolea dhabihu. Lile nililowekea nadhiri nitalitimiza. Wokovu watoka kwa Bwana.”
And I with a voice of thanksgiving I will sacrifice to you [that] which I have vowed I will fulfill rescue [belongs] to Yahweh.
10 Basi Bwana akamwamuru yule nyangumi, naye akamtapika Yona katika nchi kavu.
And he spoke Yahweh to the fish and it vomited up Jonah to the dry land.
