< Jonah 2 >
1 Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the sea creatures belly.
Jonah tah nga bung khui lamloh a Pathen BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
2 And he said, I called because of my affliction to Jehovah, and he answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou heard my voice. (Sheol )
Te vaengah, “BOEIPA te kamah kah citcai lamloh ka khue tih kai n'doo coeng. Saelkhui bung khui lamloh bomnah kam bih vaengah ka ol na yaak coeng. (Sheol )
3 For thou 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.
Kai he tuipuei tuilung neh tuiva laedil la nan voeih. Kai he na tuiphu boeih loh m'vael tih na lungkuk loh kai soah n'thing.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes. Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Tedae, “Kai tah na mikhmuh lamloh kai n'haek cakhaw, na hmuencim bawkim te paelki ham ni ka koei,’ ka ti.
5 The waters encompassed me around, even to the soul. The deep was round about me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
Kai he tui loh ka hinglu duela a li tih, tuidung loh kai m'vael. Carhaek loh ka lu a bol.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
Tlang yung duela ka suntla tih diklai loh a thohkalh te kai ham kumhal duela a kalh. Tedae ka Pathen BOEIPA loh ka hingnah he vaam lamloh na doek.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.
Kai lamkah ka rhae vaengah BOEIPA te ka hinglu neh ka poek. Namah kah hmuencim bawkim ah ka thangthuinah te namah taengla ham pha.
8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
A honghi aka ngaithuen rhoek loh a poeyoek la a sitlohnah a hnawt uh.
9 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
Tedae kai tah namah taengah uemonah ol neh kan nawn vetih ka caeng bangla BOEIPA lamkah khangnah te ka thuung ni,” a ti.
10 And Jehovah spoke to the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh nga te a uen tih Jonah te laiphuei dongah a tha.
