Jonah 2
1 From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,
Jonah tah nga bung khui lamloh a Pathen BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
2 saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept 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 At this, I said, ‘I have been banished from Your sight; yet I will look once more toward Your 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 engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed 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 To the roots of the mountains I descended; the earth beneath me barred me in forever! But You raised my life from the pit, O LORD 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 As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer went up to You, to Your 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 cling to worthless idols forsake His loving devotion.
A honghi aka ngaithuen rhoek loh a poeyoek la a sitlohnah a hnawt uh.
9 But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from the LORD!”
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 the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh nga te a uen tih Jonah te laiphuei dongah a tha.
