Jonah 1
1 Now the LORD’s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Amittai capa, Jonah koe ka tho e BAWIPA e lawk teh,
2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.”
Thaw haw, Nineveh khopui lah cet nateh, pakhinae hoi hramkhai haw. Hote khopui taminaw ni yonnae a sak awh e teh ka hmalah a pha toe telah a ti.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
Hatei Jonah ni BAWIPA koehoi Tarshish kho lah yawng hane a kâcai. A thaw teh Joppa kho lah a cei teh a pha. Tarshish kho lah ka cet e long hoi a kâhmo teh, kâcuinae phu a poe teh Cathut koehoi long kamawngnaw hoi Tarshish kho lah reirei cei hanelah long a kâcui.
4 But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
Cathut ni kahlî katang poung e tuipui koe a patoun dawkvah, tuipui dawk athakaawme tuicapa a thaw teh long meimei a kamko.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.
Hatnavah long kamawngnaw ni a taki awh teh a cathut lengkaleng a kaw awh. Long a pâhaw nahanlah hnopainaw tui dawk a tâkhawng awh. Jonah teh long e vonpui koe a kum teh hawvah mat a i.
6 So the ship master came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we will not perish.”
Long kaukkung a tho teh, Oe mat na ka ip e tami, bangtelane thaw haw. Na Cathut koe ratoum haw, maimouh hlout nahanlah ahni ni doum a thai talang teh atipouh.
7 They all said to each other, “Come! Let’s cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
Ahnimouh ni be tho awh haw, apie yon kecu dawk ne hete hno a tâco tie panue thai nahanlah cungpam rayu a sei ati awh teh a kâpan awh. Hathnukkhu cungpam a rayu awh boteh, Jonah tak dawk a bo.
8 Then they asked him, “Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?”
Ahnimouh ni bang e yon dawk maw hete hno a tâco dei haw. Nâ hoi maw na tho. Bang thaw maw na tawk. Api ram, api miphun maw telah a pacei awh.
9 He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.”
Jonah ni kai teh Hebru miphun, tui hoi talai kasakkung kalvan e Jehovah Cathut ka bawk e doeh telah atipouh.
10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “What have you done?” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
Ahnimouh ni thouk a taki awh dawkvah, bangkongmaw hettelah na sak vaw telah a pacei awh. Jonah ni Cathut koehoi ka yawng tie a kâpâpho dawkvah a panue awh.
11 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?” For the sea grew more and more stormy.
Hatnavah tuicapa teh hoe a thaw dawkvah, ahnimouh ni tuicapa a roum nahanlah nang dawk bangmaw ka sak awh han telah a pacei awh navah,
12 He said to them, “Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you.”
Kai heh na tawm awh nateh tui dawk na tâkhawng awh lawih. Hottelah na tâkhawng awh pawiteh tuicapa a roum han. Hete tûilî ka tho e teh kai kecu dawk doeh a tho tie ka panue atipouh.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them.
Hatei, long kamawngnaw ni namran lah pha thai nahanelah tha hoi tuisam a la awh eiteh, hoehoe tuicapa a thaw dawkvah bang ati thai awh hoeh torei teh,
14 Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, “We beg you, LORD, we beg you, do not let us die for this man’s life, and do not lay on us innocent blood; for you, LORD, have done as it pleased you.”
Oe, BAWIPA kaimouh ni ngaithoumnae kâhei awh. Oe Jehovah, hete tami e a hringnae kecu dawk kaimouh koe thoenae phat hanh naseh. Yon ka tawn hoeh e tami hringnae ka thei awh dawkvah yonnae teh kaimouh koe na pen hanh. Oe BAWIPA, nang teh namamouh ni na ngai e patetlah doeh na sak telah a hram awh teh,
15 So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
Jonah hah dawk a tawm awh teh tui dawk a tâkhawng awh. Hattoteh tuicapa a roum.
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
Long kamawngnaw ni hai Cathut a taki awh teh thuengnae a sak awh hnukkhu lawk a kam awh.
17 The LORD prepared a huge fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Cathut ni Jonah ka payawp hanelah tangapui a hmoun e patetlah Jonah teh tanga von thungvah hnin thum rum thum touh ao.
