2 Awo Yona n’asinziira mu kyennyanja n’asaba Mukama Katonda we, ng’agamba 2 (A)nti,
“Mu nnaku yange ennyingi

era n’owulira eddoboozi lyange!
3 (B)Kubanga wansuula ewala mu buziba mu nnyanja,

ne bimbikka
ne binneetooloola.
4 (C)Ne ndyoka njogera nti, ‘Ngobeddwa

Ddala ndiddayo nate
okulaba yeekaalu yo entukuvu?’
5 (D)Nakkira ddala ku ntobo wansi w’amayengo, okufa ne kumbeerera ddala kumpi;
Amazzi nga ganneetoolodde
era ng’omuddo gw’omu nnyanja gunneezingiridde ku mutwe.
6 Ne ŋŋendera ddala ku ntobo, ensozi z’omu nnyanja gye zisibuka, eyo,
ensi n’ensibirayo emirembe n’emirembe.
Naye ggwe Mukama Katonda wange, onzigye mu bunnya,
Ayi Mukama Katonda wange.
7 (E)“Bwe nnali nga mpweddemu essuubi, emmeeme yange ng’ezirika
ne nkujjukira, Ayi Mukama Katonda.
Awo okusaba kwange entakeera ne kutuuka
mu yeekaalu yo entukuvu.
8 (F)“Abo abassaayo omwoyo ku balubaale ne bakatonda abataliimu ne babasinza,
beefiiriza okusaasirwa kwa Katonda okubalindiridde!
9 (G)Naye nze, n’oluyimba olw’okukutendereza,
ndikuwa ssaddaaka.
Ddala ndituukiriza obweyamo bwange
kubanga obulokozi buva eri Mukama Katonda.”
10 Awo Mukama Katonda n’alagira ekyennyanja ne kiwandula Yona n’agwa ettale ku lukalu.
Jonah 2
English Standard Version
Jonah's Prayer
2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, 2 saying,
(A)“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress,
and he answered me;
(B)out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
(C)and you heard my voice.
3 (D)For you cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood surrounded me;
(E)all your breakers and your waves
passed over me.
4 (F)Then I said, ‘I am driven away
from your sight;
(G)yet I shall again look
upon your holy temple.’
5 (H)The waters closed in over me (I)to take my life;
the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 To the roots of the mountains I went down,
to the land whose bars closed upon me forever.
Yet you brought up my life from the pit,
O Lord my God.
7 When my life was fainting away,
I remembered the Lord,
(J)and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.
8 (K)Those who pay regard to vain idols
(L)forsake their hope of steadfast love.
9 (M)But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
(N)Salvation belongs to the Lord!”
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
Jonah 2
New International Version
2 1 [a]From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. 2 He said:
“In my distress I called(A) to the Lord,(B)
and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead(C) I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
3 You hurled me into the depths,(D)
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves(E) and breakers
swept over me.(F)
4 I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;(G)
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’(H)
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[b]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(I)
6 To the roots of the mountains(J) I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.(K)
7 “When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered(L) you, Lord,
and my prayer(M) rose to you,
to your holy temple.(N)
8 “Those who cling to worthless idols(O)
turn away from God’s love for them.
9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise,(P)
will sacrifice(Q) to you.
What I have vowed(R) I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation(S) comes from the Lord.’”
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
