Jonah 2
1 Nígbà náà ni Jona gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ láti inú ẹja náà wá,
Then Jonah prayed unto Yhwh his God out of the fish’s belly,
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)
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto Yhwh, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest 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 thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed 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.’
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Omi yí mi káàkiri, àní títí dé ọkàn; ibú yí mi káàkiri, a fi koríko odò wé mi lórí.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about 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.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Yhwh 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.
When my soul fainted within me I remembered Yhwh: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 “Àwọn tí ń fàmọ́ òrìṣà èké kọ àánú ara wọn sílẹ̀.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
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 will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of Yhwh.
10 Olúwa sì pàṣẹ fún ẹja náà, ó sì pọ Jona sí orí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
And Yhwh spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
