Jonas 2
1 Konsa, Jonas te priye a SENYÈ Bondye li a depi nan vant pwason an.
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
2 Li te di: “Mwen te rele nan detrès mwen bay SENYÈ a, e Li te reponn mwen. Mwen te kriye pou sekou depi nan pwofondè sejou mò yo. Ou te tande vwa mwen. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, I called because of my affliction to Jehovah, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Ou te jete mwen nan gwo pwofondè a, nan kè lanmè yo, e gwo kouran dlo a te vale mwen. Gwo lam lanmè ou yo ak gwo vag lanmè ou yo te pase sou mwen.
For thou cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me. All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
4 Konsa, mwen te di: ‘Mwen te vin chase lwen fas ou. Malgre sa, mwen va gade ankò vè tanp sen Ou an.’
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Dlo te antoure mwen jiskaske m rive nan pwen lanmò. Gwo pwofondè a te vale mwen; zèb lanmè yo te vlope tèt mwen.
The waters encompassed me around, even to the soul. The deep was round about me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 Mwen te desann jis rive nan baz mòn yo. Latè ak bawo li yo te antoure mwen pou tout tan, men Ou te leve lavi m monte soti nan fòs la, O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an!
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 “Pandan mwen t ap vin endispoze nèt, Mwen te sonje SENYÈ a e lapriyè mwen te rive kote Ou nan tanp sen Ou an.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.
8 Sila ki konsidere zidòl san valè yo abandone tout sous mizerikòd,
Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 Men mwen va fè sakrifis a Ou menm ak vwa aksyon de gras la. Sa ke mwen te sèmante a, se li mwen va akonpli. Sali a sòti nan SENYÈ a.”
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 Epi SENYÈ a te kòmande pwason an e li te vomi Jonas sou tè sèch la.
And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
