Jonah Pray
1 As Jonah dey inside di fish belle, e kon pray to God. 2 E sey,
“I kry give Yu wen I dey wahala and Yu ansa mi.
Naw, I dey kry to Yu from where dead body dey,
so make Yu go kom help mi and hear my prayers.
3 Na Yu God trow mi inside dis deep sea.
Yu trow mi inside di river
and di wota and waves kon kover mi.
4 Den I sey, ‘Oga God,
Yu don drive mi
komot from yor present kpata-kpata
and I nor go ever si yor holy temple again!’
5 Di wota kover and almost kill mi.
Naw, I don sink enter di sea.
Even di leaf dem wey dey di sea,
don tie my head.
6 I sink go under di mountins
kon enter inside one place
where I go bi prisona forever.
But Yu, my God don take mi
komot from di pit.
7 Wen I tink sey my life don dey finish,
I kon pray give Yu and Yu hear mi
from yor holy temple.
8 Doz wey dey woship juju,
don abandon di good tins wey God suppose do for dem.
9 But as for mi, I go sing praiz Yu;
I go offa sakrifice give Yu
kon do wetin I promise,
bikos na only Yu fit save mi!”
10 Den God kon kommand di fish make e go vomit Jonah put for dry land.
