Jonah 2
1 Jonah tah nga bung khui lamloh a Pathen BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly 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 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. (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.
And 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.
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 am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
5 Kai he tui loh ka hinglu duela a li tih, tuidung loh kai m'vael. Carhaek loh ka lu a bol.
The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered 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.
I 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.
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.
When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 A honghi aka ngaithuen rhoek loh a poeyoek la a sitlohnah a hnawt uh.
They that are vain observe 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.
But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
10 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh nga te a uen tih Jonah te laiphuei dongah a tha.
And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
