Jonah 2
1 Nígbà náà ni Jona gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ láti inú ẹja náà wá,
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
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 in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: 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.
You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon 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.’
And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again toward your holy temple?
5 Omi yí mi káàkiri, àní títí dé ọkàn; ibú yí mi káàkiri, a fi koríko odò wé mi lórí.
Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
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 clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
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 was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
8 “Àwọn tí ń fàmọ́ òrìṣà èké kọ àánú ara wọn sílẹ̀.
They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken 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 to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
10 Olúwa sì pàṣẹ fún ẹja náà, ó sì pọ Jona sí orí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
