Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly.
Na rĩrĩ, Jona arĩ kũu nda ya thamaki ĩyo nene mũno akĩhooya Jehova Ngai wake.
2 And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he answered me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Akiuga atĩrĩ: “Ndakaĩire Jehova ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩnjĩtĩka. Ngĩhooya ũteithio ndĩ o kũu mbĩrĩra-inĩ kũrĩa kũriku, nawe ũkĩigua gũkaya gwakwa. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou didst 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.
Wee wathinĩkanirie nginya kũrĩa kũriku, o gatagatĩ ka iria rĩrĩa inene, naguo mũiyũro wa maaĩ ũgĩĩthiũrũrũkĩria; makũmbĩ maku mothe na ndiihũ cia maaĩ ikĩĩhubanĩria.
4 And I said, am cast out from before thine eyes; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩ mũingate, ngeherio maitho-inĩ maku; no rĩrĩ, nĩngerorera hekarũ yaku theru hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.’
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Maaĩ macio maandigiicĩirie makenda kũnjũraga, nakuo kũu kũriku gũgaathiũrũrũkĩria; riya rĩa iria-inĩ rĩeohereire mũtwe wakwa.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [closed] upon me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
Ngĩrikĩra o nginya itina-inĩ cia irĩma; thĩ ya kũu rungu ĩkĩĩhingĩrĩria nginya tene. No Wee Jehova, Ngai wakwa, nĩwarutire muoyo wakwa kuuma irima rĩu.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
“Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa muoyo wakwa wathiraga, nĩndakũririkanire Wee Jehova, namo mahooya makwa magĩkinya o harĩwe, o thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yaku theru.
8 They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
“Andũ arĩa mahooyaga mĩhianano ya tũhũ, nĩmoragĩrwo nĩ ũtugi ũrĩa ũngĩkorwo ũrĩ wao.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
No niĩ-rĩ, ndĩrĩkũrutagĩra igongona ngĩinaga rwĩmbo rwa gũcookia ngaatho. Nĩngahingia mĩĩhĩtwa yakwa ĩrĩa niĩ ndanehĩta. Ũhonokio uumaga kũrĩ Jehova.”
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Nake Jehova agĩatha thamaki ĩyo nene, nayo ĩgĩtahĩka Jona thĩ nyũmũ.
