Jonah 1
1 Amittai chapa Jonah kommah Pathen thupeh ahung lhung in,
The worde of the Lord came also vnto Ionah the sonne of Amittai, saying,
2 Kipat dohin lang Ninevah kiti khopi lentaha khun gihna thu gaphongdoh tan ajeh chu amite’u gitlouna hi kamu chen tan ahi.
Arise, and goe to Nineueh, that great citie, and crye against it: for their wickednesse is come vp before mee.
3 Ahinlah Jonah akipat dohin Pakaiya konin akihei mangin Joppa kongkai munlanga achen kong sunga alut in atou man apen Tarshish lam jonin akitoltan ahi.
But Ionah rose vp to flee into Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went downe to Iapho: and he founde a ship going to Tarshish: so he payed the fare thereof, and went downe into it, that he might go with them vnto Tarshish, from the presence of the Lord.
4 Ahin Pakaiyin twikhanglen chunga chun huipi hattahin ahin nun sahin kong suhkeh theileu chun hui le go nasatahin ahin nuhtan ahi.
But the Lord sent out a great winde into the sea, and there was a mightie tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Kong sepai ho chu thina khop hellin akichatauvin, lung lengvai pumin ama ama Pathen ngehnan ataovun, chuleh kong jankhaina ding chun kong sunga kon chun thil gehsa ho chu aseplha tauvin ahi. Ahinlah Jonah chu kong indan noinung penna akum lhan ana lummin kho helou khopin ana imu lhatan ahi.
Then the mariners were afraide, and cryed euery man vnto his God, and cast the wares that were in the ship, into the sea to lighten it of the: but Ionah was gone downe into the sides of the ship, and he lay downe, and was fast a sleepe.
6 Hichun kong sepai lamkai pa chun Jonah chu aga mudohin ajah a “A imupa ipi nangaito hitam thoudoh in na Pathen henga tauvin chutileh aman ithigam nadiuva konna hi eihuhdoh theidiu ahi” ati.
So the shipmaster came to him, and saide vnto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call vpon thy God, if so be that God wil thinke vpon vs, that we perish not.
7 Hitichun amaho akihouvun, khaije hiche vangsetna hi eiholah a koipen jeh hiding ham vang veuhite akitiuvin, vang avetauvin ahileh Jonah chunga chun achu tan ahi.
And they saide euery one to his fellowe, Come, and let vs cast lottes, that we may know, for whose cause this euill is vpon vs. So they cast lottes, and the lot fell vpon Ionah.
8 Hichun amahon Jonah komma ipi jeh'a hitobang vangsetna hi ichunguva chu hitam? Nang koi nahim? Ipi na tong na him? Hoiya konna na hung ham? Koigam mi nahim? tin adong tauvin ahi.
Then said they vnto him, Tell vs for whose cause this euill is vpon vs? what is thine occupation? and whence commest thou? which is thy countrey? and of what people art thou?
9 Jonah in adonbutin, keima Hebrew mi kahin, Leiset leh Twikhanglen semma van Pathen ging jinga um mi kahi ati.
And he answered them, I am an Ebrewe, and I feare the Lord God of heauen, which hath made the sea, and the dry lande.
10 Jonah chun Pathen na konna hung jamdoha ahi chu a seidoh phat in amaho aha kichat behsehun, epi na bolkhel hitam atiuvin ahi.
Then were the men exceedingly afrayde, and said vnto him, Why hast thou done this? (for the men knewe, that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had tolde them)
11 Twikhanglen chu aha khoh cheh cheh phat chun amahon nanghi i-nalo uleng hiche Twikhanglen hi thip thei ding ham atiuvin ahi.
Then saide they vnto him, What shall we doe vnto thee, that the sea may be calme vnto vs? (for the sea wrought and was troublous)
12 Hichun aman amaho koma chun keima hi nei dom sangun lang Twikhanglen'a hin neiseplut leu chun hichi twipi kinong hi tang tante “Ajeh chu hiche twipi kinong hi keijeh ahi” ati.
And he said vnto them, Take me, and cast me into the sea: so shall the sea be calme vnto you: for I knowe that for my sake this great tempest is vpon you.
13 Ahijeng vang'in amahon ajo kham chanun kong chu leigo langa toldoh tei ding agongun ahinlah Twikhanglen kinong chu akhoh cheh jotan,
Neuerthelesse, the men rowed to bring it to the lande, but they coulde not: for the sea wrought, and was troublous against them.
14 Hijeh chun amaho Jonah Pathen komma chun ataovun “Vo Pakai nei lungset unlang hichi pa chonset jeh'in nei sumang hihun chuleh heche pan thina ato jeh'in keiho mo neipehihbeh un, O Pakai nangin hichi mipa jeh'a hi hitobang thilse hi nasohsah ah bouve ti kahe tauve” atiuvin ahi.
Wherefore they cryed vnto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let vs not perish for this mans life, and lay not vpon vs innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done, as it pleased thee.
15 Hichun kongtol hon Jonah chu aman’un aselhahuva ahileh Twikhanglen kinong hoisetah chu athipchet jeng tan ahi.
So they tooke vp Ionah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Kongtol ho chun Pakai thanei dan chu amudoh phatun akichalheh jingun pumgo thilto abolun kitepna anei tauvin ahi.
Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice vnto the Lord, and made vowes.
17 Hichun Pakaiyin Jonah val lut dingin nga lentah khat ana gongin hiti chun Jonah chu hiche ngapi sunga chun nithum le janthum atham tan ahi.
Nowe the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallowe vp Ionah: and Ionah was in the belly of the fish three dayes, and three nightes.
