Jonah 2
1 Nígbà náà ni Jona gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ láti inú ẹja náà wá,
From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,
2 Ó sì wí pé: “Nínú ìpọ́njú mi ni mo kígbe sí Olúwa, òun sì gbọ́ ohùn mi. Mo kígbe láti inú ipò òkú, mo pè fún ìrànwọ́, ìwọ sì gbọ́ ohùn mi. (Sheol h7585)
saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Nítorí tí ìwọ ti sọ mí sínú ibú, ní àárín Òkun, ìṣàn omi sì yí mi káàkiri; gbogbo bíbì omi àti rírú omi rékọjá lórí mi.
For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.
4 Nígbà náà ni mo wí pé, ‘A ta mí nù kúrò níwájú rẹ; ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀ èmi yóò tún máa wo ìhà tẹmpili mímọ́ rẹ.’
At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.’
5 Omi yí mi káàkiri, àní títí dé ọkàn; ibú yí mi káàkiri, a fi koríko odò wé mi lórí.
The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.
6 Èmi sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ àwọn òkè ńlá; ilẹ̀ ayé pẹ̀lú ìdènà rẹ̀ yí mi ká títí: ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ti mú ẹ̀mí mi wá sókè láti inú ibú wá, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi.
To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD my God!
7 “Nígbà tí ó rẹ ọkàn mi nínú mi, èmi rántí rẹ, Olúwa, àdúrà mi sì wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, nínú tẹmpili mímọ́ rẹ.
As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your holy temple.
8 “Àwọn tí ń fàmọ́ òrìṣà èké kọ àánú ara wọn sílẹ̀.
Those who cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò fi orin ọpẹ́, rú ẹbọ sí ọ. Èmi yóò san ẹ̀jẹ́ tí mo ti jẹ́. ‘Ìgbàlà wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa.’”
But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”
10 Olúwa sì pàṣẹ fún ẹja náà, ó sì pọ Jona sí orí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
