Jonah 2
1 Jonah ni tangapui vonthung ao navah Cathut koe a ratoum e teh,
Then Jonah prayed to 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)
He said, "I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. 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.
For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your breakers and waves passed over me.
4 Hottelah, na hmalah hoi na pâlei eiteh, kathounge bawkim teh pou ka khet han telah ka dei.
I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward 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.
The waters surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep was around me. The end is upon 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 barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, 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. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 Cungkeihoehe meikaphawk ka bawk naw niteh, a coe awh hane lungmanae hah a tâkhawng awh.
Those who regard worthless things forsake their faithfulness.
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 thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD."
10 Hatnavah Cathut ni tangapui hah kâ a poe teh, tangapui ni Jonah hah a kawngteng lah a palo.
The LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
