< Yona 2 >

1 Yona firii apataa no yam bɔɔ Awurade ne Onyankopɔn mpaeɛ sɛ.
And Jonas preiede to the Lord his God fro the fischis wombe,
2 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mʼahohia mu mefrɛɛ Awurade, na ɔgyee me so. Mefiri adamena ase tɔnn srɛɛ mmoa na wotiee me sufrɛ. (Sheol h7585)
and seide, Y criede to God of my tribulacioun, and he herde me; fro the wombe of helle Y criede, and thou herdist my vois. (Sheol h7585)
3 Wotoo me twenee ebunu mu wɔ ɛpo ase tɔnn, na ɔhweam twaa me ho hyiaeɛ; wʼasorɔkye ne mframa bu faa me so.
Thou castidist me doun in to depnesse, in the herte of the see, and the flood cumpasside me; alle thi swolowis and thi wawis passiden on me.
4 Na mekaa sɛ, ‘Wɔapam me afiri wʼanim; nanso mede mʼani bɛkyerɛ wʼasɔredan kronkron no bio’
And Y seide, Y am cast awei fro siyt of thin iyen; netheles eftsoone Y schal see thin hooli temple.
5 Nsuo a abu afa me so no bɔɔ me hu, ebunu no twaa me ho hyiaeɛ; ɛpo mu wira kyekyeree me tiri ho.
Watris cumpassiden me `til to my soule, depnesse enuyrownede me, the see hilide myn heed.
6 Memem kɔɔ mmepɔ no ase pɛɛ; asase ase kaa me hyɛɛ mu afebɔɔ. Nanso wogyee me nkwa firii amena mu, Ao Awurade, me Onyankopɔn.
Y wente doun to the vtmeste places of hillis, the barris of erthe closiden me togidere, in to withouten ende; and thou, my Lord God, schalt reise vp my lijf fro corrupcioun.
7 “Ɛberɛ a me nkwa resene akɔ no, mekaee wo Awurade, na me mpaeɛbɔ foro baa wo nkyɛn, wɔ wʼasɔredan kronkron no mu.
Whanne my soule was angwisched in me, Y bithouyte on the Lord, that my preier come to thee, to thin hooli temple.
8 “Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho bata ahoni huhuo ho no hwere adom a anka ɛyɛ wɔn dea.
Thei that kepen vanytees, forsaken his merci idili.
9 Nanso me, mede ayɛyie nnwom bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama wo. Deɛ mahyɛ ho bɔ no, mɛyɛ. Nkwagyeɛ firi Awurade.”
But Y in vois of heriyng schal offre to thee; what euer thingis Y vowide, Y schal yelde to the Lord, for myn helthe.
10 Na afei, Awurade hyɛɛ apataa no ma ɔfee Yona too asase so.
And the Lord seide to the fisch, and it castide out Jonas `in to the drie lond.
