1And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
1 Rabbi mo na teeku ham beeri fo soola kaŋ ga Yonana gon. Yonana goro mo teeku hamo gunda ra cin hinza da zaari hinza.
2and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.
2 Gaa no Yonana na adduwa te ka Rabbi nga Irikoyo ŋwaaray, noodin teeku hamo gunda ra.
3For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
3 A ne: «Ay gurzuga sabbay se no ay na Rabbi ce, A tu ay se mo. Alaahara gunda ra no ay na ceyaŋo te, Ni maa ay jinda mo.
4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
4 Zama ni n'ay catu guusu kuuko ra, Teeko bindo ra no. Hari boobo go g'ay windi. Ni hari ciciriyaŋ da hari bonday beerey kulu gana ay boŋ.
5The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
5 Ay mo ne: Ni n'ay kamba banda. Kulu nda yaadin ay ga ye ka ni fu hananta do haray guna.
6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
6 Harey n'ay windi, hal ay fundo gaa. Hari guusuyaŋo go g'ay windi, Subuyaŋ go ga didiji ay boŋo gaa.
7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
7 Ay miri kal ay koy ka to tondi kuukey tiksey gaa. Ndunnya nda nga kanjarey kulu go ay boŋ hal abada. Kulu nda yaadin, ya Rabbi ay Irikoyo, Ni n'ay fundo soolam ka kaa guuso ra.
8They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
8 Waati kaŋ ay fundo ga yangala ay ra, Ay ga fongu Rabbi gaa. Ay adduwa mo furo ni do ni fu hananta ra.
9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
9 Ngey kaŋ ga de tooru yaamey gaa na amaana ŋwaari te no.
10And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
10 Amma ay wo, saabuyaŋ jinde no ay ga sargay te d'a ni se. Haŋ kaŋ ay na sarti sambu ni se d'a mo, ay g'a bana. Faaba ya Rabbi wane no!»
11 Kala Rabbi salaŋ teeku hamo se. Nga mo na Yonana yeeri jabo gaa.
