Iona 2
1 A PULE aku la o Iona ia Iehova i kona Akua mai ka opu aku o ka ia, a i aku la,
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
2 Ua kahea aku au, mai ko'u wahi pilikia, ia Iehova, a hoolohe mai ia ia'u. Mai ka opu o ka po i kahea aku ai au, a hoolohe mai oe i kuu leo. (Sheol h7585)
and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he hearkened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 No ka mea, ua kiola aku oe ia'u i ka hohonu, iwaenakonu o ke kai; Ua hoopuniia au e ke kai; O kou mau nalu a pau, a me kou mau ale, ua kaa iho la ia maluna o'u.
Thou didst cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all thy billows and thy waves have passed upon me.
4 Alaila, i iho la au, Ua hooleiia'ku au mai kou alo aku, Aka, e nana hou aku au i kou luakini hoano.
And I said, I am cast out of thy presence: shall I indeed look again toward thy holy temple?
5 Ua hoopuni na wai ia'u, a i ke ola, Ua hoopuni ka hohonu ia'u; Ua kaeiia ko'u poo i ka limu.
Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
6 Iho iho la au ilalo i na kumu o na mauna; Ua poai mau ia au e ka honua, a me kona mau kaola, Aka, ua lawe mai oe i kuu ola mai ka lua mai, e Iehova kuu Akua.
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 I ka wa i maule ai kuu uhane iloko o'u, hoomanao iho la au ia Iehova; A hele ae la ka'u pule i ou la i kou luakini hoano.
When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to thee into thy holy temple.
8 O na mea malama i na mea lapuwale, ua haalele lakou i ko lakou pomaikai.
They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
9 Aka, e mohai aku au ia oe me ka leo hoomaikai; E hooko aku au i ka mea a'u i hoohiki ai. No Iehova mai ke ola.
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to thee, the Lord of [my] salvation.
10 A olelo mai o Iehova i ka ia, a luai aku ia ia Iona i ka aina maloo.
And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
