Jonah 2
1 Jonah ni tangapui vonthung ao navah Cathut koe a ratoum e teh,
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly.
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 he said: I called out of mine affliction unto the LORD, and He answered me; out of the belly of the nether-world cried I, and Thou heardest 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.
For Thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all Thy waves and Thy billows passed over 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 from before Thine eyes'; yet I will look again toward Thy holy temple.
5 Tui ni due sak hanelah na kalup teh, tui lungui vah na paung teh, tuipho ni ka lû dawk a yawngyen.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
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.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars closed upon me for ever; yet hast Thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
7 Lungpout laihoi ka o nah Cathut hah ka pouk teh, kaie ratoumnae teh bawkim kathoung dawk Bawipa koe a pha.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came in unto Thee, into Thy holy temple.
8 Cungkeihoehe meikaphawk ka bawk naw niteh, a coe awh hane lungmanae hah a tâkhawng awh.
They that regard lying vanities forsake 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 unto Thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 Hatnavah Cathut ni tangapui hah kâ a poe teh, tangapui ni Jonah hah a kawngteng lah a palo.
And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
