Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Ko ia naʻe lotu ai ʻa Siona kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua mei he kete ʻoe ika.
1Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
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.
2And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
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.
3And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice.
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.’
4And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
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.
5And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
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.
6The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
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.
7I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
8Ko kinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi vaʻinga loi, ʻoku nau siʻaki pe ʻekinautolu ʻa honau ʻalo ʻofeina.
8When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
9Ka ko au te u feilaulau ʻaki kiate koe ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakafetaʻi; te u fai ʻaia kuo u fuakava ki ai. ʻOku meia Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui.”
9They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
10¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ki he ika, pea naʻa ne puʻaki atu ʻa Siona ki he fonua mōmoa.
10But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
