Jonah 2
1 Jonah loe tanga zok thung hoiah angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah lawkthuih:
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly,
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)
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest 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 thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed 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.
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy 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 compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about 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 bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, 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 fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 Tidoeh athum ai krang poekhaih tawn kaminawk mah, angmacae nuiah palungnathaih katawn Sithaw to angqoi o taak ving boeh.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
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 sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
10 Angraeng mah tanga to lokpaek, to naah tanga mah Jonah to saoeng bangah pathak let.
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
