Jonah 2
1 Jonah tah nga bung khui lamloh a Pathen BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
And Jonah prays to his God YHWH from the bowels of the fish.
2 Te vaengah, “BOEIPA te kamah kah citcai lamloh ka khue tih kai n'doo coeng. Saelkhui bung khui lamloh bomnah kam bih vaengah ka ol na yaak coeng. (Sheol h7585)
And he says: “I called, because of my distress, to YHWH, And He answers me, From the belly of Sheol I have cried, You have heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Kai he tuipuei tuilung neh tuiva laedil la nan voeih. Kai he na tuiphu boeih loh m'vael tih na lungkuk loh kai soah n'thing.
When You cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood surrounds me, All Your breakers and Your billows have passed over me.
4 Tedae, “Kai tah na mikhmuh lamloh kai n'haek cakhaw, na hmuencim bawkim te paelki ham ni ka koei,’ ka ti.
And I said: I have been cast out from before Your eyes (Yet I add to look to Your holy temple!)
5 Kai he tui loh ka hinglu duela a li tih, tuidung loh kai m'vael. Carhaek loh ka lu a bol.
Waters have surrounded me to the soul, The deep surrounds me, The weed is bound to my head.
6 Tlang yung duela ka suntla tih diklai loh a thohkalh te kai ham kumhal duela a kalh. Tedae ka Pathen BOEIPA loh ka hingnah he vaam lamloh na doek.
To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars [are] behind me for all time. And You bring my life up from the pit, O YHWH my God.
7 Kai lamkah ka rhae vaengah BOEIPA te ka hinglu neh ka poek. Namah kah hmuencim bawkim ah ka thangthuinah te namah taengla ham pha.
In the feebleness of my soul within me, I have remembered YHWH, And my prayer comes to You, Into Your holy temple.
8 A honghi aka ngaithuen rhoek loh a poeyoek la a sitlohnah a hnawt uh.
Those observing lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 Tedae kai tah namah taengah uemonah ol neh kan nawn vetih ka caeng bangla BOEIPA lamkah khangnah te ka thuung ni,” a ti.
And I—with a voice of thanksgiving—I sacrifice to You, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of YHWH.”
10 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh nga te a uen tih Jonah te laiphuei dongah a tha.
And YHWH speaks to the fish, and it vomits Jonah out on the dry land.
