Siona 2
1 Ko ia naʻe lotu ai ʻa Siona kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua mei he kete ʻoe ika.
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish's belly.
2 ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻaku tangi ʻi heʻeku mamahi kia Sihova, naʻa ne ongoʻi au; naʻaku tangi mei he loto faʻitoka, pea naʻa ke ongoʻi hoku leʻo. (Sheol h7585)
He said, "I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 He ko koe naʻa ke lī au ki he loloto, ki loto tahi; naʻaku ʻi he loto moana: pea naʻe melemo hifo au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngalu pea mo hoʻo ngaahi peau.
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 Ko ia ne u pehē ai, ‘kuo liʻaki atu au mei ho ʻao; ka neongo ia, te u toe sio ki ho fale tapu māʻoniʻoni.’
I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.'
5 Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi vai, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki hoku laumālie: naʻe kāpui takatakai au ʻe he loloto, naʻe takatakai ʻae limu ʻi hoku ʻulu.
The waters surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep was around me. The end is upon my head.
6 Naʻaku ʻalu hifo ki he tefito ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga: pea naʻe takatakai au ʻe he mālohi ʻoe māmani ʻo taʻengata; ka neongo ia, kuo ke ʻomi ʻa ʻeku moʻui mei he fakaʻauha, ʻe Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.
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, LORD my God.
7 “ʻI heʻene pongia hoku laumālie ʻiate au naʻaku manatu kia Sihova; pea naʻe ʻaʻau atu kiate koe ʻa ʻeku kole, ki ho ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
"When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 Ko kinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi vaʻinga loi, ʻoku nau siʻaki pe ʻekinautolu ʻa honau ʻalo ʻofeina.
Those who regard worthless things forsake their faithfulness.
9 Ka ko au te u feilaulau ʻaki kiate koe ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakafetaʻi; te u fai ʻaia kuo u fuakava ki ai. ʻOku meia Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui.”
But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD."
10 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ki he ika, pea naʻa ne puʻaki atu ʻa Siona ki he fonua mōmoa.
The LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
