Jonah 2
1 Jonah loe tanga zok thung hoiah angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah lawkthuih:
Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
2 raihaih ka tongh naah, ka Angraeng khaeah lawk ka thuih, to naah anih mah ang pathim; hell zok thung hoiah nang to kang palawk naah, ka lok nang tahngaih pae. (Sheol h7585)
In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Kathuk tui thungah nang vah, tuipui um li ah nang vah; tuinawk mah kai ang takui o khoep, na tuiphunawk hoi nang ih tui sambanawk mah kai ang uem o.
For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
4 Kai loe na hmaa hoiah vah ving ah ka oh boeh; toe kaciim na tempul to ka khet let han, tiah lawk ka thuih.
And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
5 Tuinawk mah kai ang takui o khoek, ka hinghaih pakhra ang ven o khoep: kathuk tui mah kai ang takui khoep, tuipan mah ka lu to zaeng khoep.
The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
6 Kai loe mae tlim ih tui thung khoek to ka krak tathuk; tui thung ih long mah dungzan khoek to ang naeh boeh; toe aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, kathuk amrohaih thung hoiah ka hinghaih nang loihsak.
I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.
7 Ka hinghaih pakhra thazok naah, Angraeng to ka poek; to naah lawk ka thuihaih loe nang khaeah, kaciim na tempul thungah dawh tahang.
When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
8 Tidoeh athum ai krang poekhaih tawn kaminawk mah, angmacae nuiah palungnathaih katawn Sithaw to angqoi o taak ving boeh.
The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
9 Toe kai loe anghoe laasakhaih hoiah nang khaeah hmuenpaekhaih ka sak han; ka sak ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah ka sak han. Pahlonghaih loe Angraeng ih ni, tiah lawk ka thuih.
But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.
10 Angraeng mah tanga to lokpaek, to naah tanga mah Jonah to saoeng bangah pathak let.
And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
