Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
Antan li te nan vant pwason an, Jonas lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye li a, li di:
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Nan mizè mwen te ye a, Seyè, mwen te rele nan pye ou, ou te reponn mwen. Byen fon nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, mwen te mande ou sekou, ou te tande vwa mwen. (Sheol h7585)
3 For you had cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all your billows and your waves passed over me.
Ou te voye m' jete byen fon, nan fon lanmè. Dlo te sènen m' toupatou. Tout kouran dlo ak tout lanm lanmè yo te pase sou mwen.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.
Mwen t'ap di nan kè m': Gen lè ou voye m' jete byen lwen ou. Mwen p'ap janm wè kay ki apa pou ou a ankò!
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Dlo yo kouvri m', yo te prèt pou neye m'. Lanmè a te fin vale m', zèb lanmè te mare nan tout tèt mwen.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet have you brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
Mwen desann, mwen desann, mwen rive jouk nan rasin mòn yo, nan peyi kote sa ki antre pa soti. Men, Seyè, Bondye mwen, ou rale m' soti nan twou a. Ou ban m' lavi ankò.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto you, into your holy temple.
Lè m' santi mwen taprale vre, mwen vin chonje ou, Seyè! Mwen lapriyè nan pye ou. Kote ou chita nan tanp ki apa ou a, ou tande m'.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Moun k'ap sèvi zidòl ki pa vo anyen yo, se moun ki vire do bay Bondye ki bay favè a.
9 But I will sacrifice unto you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
Men, m'ap chante pou m' fè lwanj ou, m'a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou. M'a kenbe angajman mwen te pran an. Se Seyè a ki delivrans nou.
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Lè sa a, Seyè a bay pwason an lòd pou li vonmi Jonas sou rivaj lanmè a.
