Jonah 2
1 Hiche ngapi oi-sunga kon chun Jonah ataovin,
Then prayed Jonah, unto Yahweh, his God, —out of the belly of the fish;
2 Hiti hin aseijin ahi. Hitobanga hahsatna kato sung hin, keima Pakai henga kataovin Aman ka taona eisanpeh in ahi. Hiche thina lhankhuh tobanga konna nangma kahin kouvin Pakai nangman neihouvin ahi. (Sheol h7585)
and said—I cried—out of my distress—unto Yahweh, and he answered me, —Out of the belly of hades, called I, Thou didst hear my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Nangin twipi thuhtah lah’a nei sonlut in, keima Twikhanglen lailunga kalhalut tai, hiche twipi chun eilonvuhin na twipi kinong gimnei noija hin neivui tai.
For thou hast cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and, a flood, enveloped me, —All thy breakers and thy rolling waves, over me, passed.
4 Chujou chun Pakai nangin nanga konin neipai dohin, ahijeng vang'in keiman na hou in thenglam kahin ngat kit ding ahi.
And, I, said, I am driven out from before thine eyes, —Yet will I again have regard unto thy holy temple:
5 Na Twi kinong noija kalhaluttan chule hiche twipi hin eichup tan ahi. Twipi chun kapum pin eitom soh tai.
The waters, encompassed me, to the peril of my life, The roaring deep, enveloped me, —The sea-weed, was wrapped about my head:
6 Molsang bul geijin ka kikholuttan akelkot kikhah jing leisetin eikhen khum tan, ahin O Pakai, Pathen nangin hiche kokhuh a kon hin nei huhdoh tan ahi!
To the roots of the mountains, went I down, As for the earth, her bars, were about me, age-abidingly, —Then didst thou bring up—out of the pit—my life, O Yahweh my God.
7 Ka hinkho hi alamvai teng Pakai nangma ka hin gel doh jin, lunggil tah’a katao na Hou-in sunga ahung lutjin ahi.
When my soul, darkened itself over me, Yahweh, I remembered, —and my prayer, came in unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 Semthu pathen dihlou hou hon na mi hepina jong anung sun jitauve.
They who take heed to the vanities of falsehood, do, their own lovingkindness, forsake.
9 Keiman vang nanga din thangvahna la sa pumin nanga dingin kiphaldoh jing ing kating, ka kitepna sa ho jong molso jing ding, ajeh chu huhhingna hi Pakai nanga kon bou ahi.
But, I, with the voice of praise, will sacrifice unto thee, What I have vowed, I will pay, —Salvation, belongeth to Yahweh!
10 Hiche jou chun Pakaiyin nga chu thu apen ahileh Jonah chu tolgo chunga alohdohtan ahi.
So then Yahweh spake unto the fish, —and it vomited out Jonah, upon the dry land.
