Siona 2
1Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish,
1KO IA naʻe lotu ai ʻa Siona kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua mei he kete ʻoe ika.
2saying, “I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.
2ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻaku tangi ʻi heʻeku mamahi kia Sihova, naʻa ne ongoʻi au; naʻaku tangi mei he loto faʻitoka, pea naʻa ke ongoʻi hoku leʻo.
3For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.
3He ko koe naʻa ke lī au ki he loloto, ki loto tahi; naʻaku ʻi he loto moana: pea naʻe melemo hifo au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngalu pea mo hoʻo ngaahi peau.
4Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’
4Ko ia ne u pehē ai, ‘kuo liʻaki atu au mei ho ʻao; ka neongo ia, te u toe sio ki ho fale tapu māʻoniʻoni.’
5The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head
5Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi vai, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki hoku laumālie: naʻe kāpui takatakai au ʻe he loloto, naʻe takatakai ʻae limu ʻi hoku ʻulu.
6at 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.
6Naʻaku ʻalu hifo ki he tefito ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga: pea naʻe takatakai au ʻe he mālohi ʻoe māmani ʻo taʻengata; ka neongo ia, kuo ke ʻomi ʻa ʻeku moʻui mei he fakaʻauha, ʻe Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.
7When my life was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.
7“ʻI heʻene pongia hoku laumālie ʻiate au naʻaku manatu kia Sihova; pea naʻe ʻaʻau atu kiate koe ʻa ʻeku kole, ki ho ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
8Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.
8Ko kinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi vaʻinga loi, ʻoku nau siʻaki pe ʻekinautolu ʻa honau ʻalo ʻofeina.
9But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the LORD!”
9Ka ko au teu feilaulau ʻaki kiate koe ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakafetaʻi; te u fai ʻaia kuo u fuakava ki ai. ʻOku meia Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui.”
10And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
10Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ki he ika, pea naʻa ne puʻaki atu ʻa Siona ki he fonua mōmoa.
