Jonah 2
1 Jonah ni tangapui vonthung ao navah Cathut koe a ratoum e teh,
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
2 Kai teh runae ka kâhmo dawkvah, Cathut ka kaw teh na thai pouh. Duenae vonthung hoi kaw e lawk na thai pouh. (Sheol h7585)
and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Bawipa ni kai teh kadung poung e tuipui lungui na tâkhawng dawkvah, tui ni na kalup teh tuicapa pueng ni muen na ramuk.
You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon me.
4 Hottelah, na hmalah hoi na pâlei eiteh, kathounge bawkim teh pou ka khet han telah ka dei.
And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again towards your holy temple?
5 Tui ni due sak hanelah na kalup teh, tui lungui vah na paung teh, tuipho ni ka lû dawk a yawngyen.
Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
6 Mon khok koe ka pha teh, tho pou kâkhan e thung ka phat ei nakunghai, BAWIPA Cathut ni rawknae hmuen koehoi na rasa han.
to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
7 Lungpout laihoi ka o nah Cathut hah ka pouk teh, kaie ratoumnae teh bawkim kathoung dawk Bawipa koe a pha.
When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
8 Cungkeihoehe meikaphawk ka bawk naw niteh, a coe awh hane lungmanae hah a tâkhawng awh.
They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
9 Kai teh a lungmanae hah lunghawilawkdeinae hoi bawknae ka sak han. Lawk ka kam e patetlah ka sak han. Rungngangnae teh BAWIPA e doeh.
But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
10 Hatnavah Cathut ni tangapui hah kâ a poe teh, tangapui ni Jonah hah a kawngteng lah a palo.
And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
