Jonah 1

1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,

Amittai chapa Jonah kommah Pathen thupeh ahung lhung in,

2 Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.

Kipat dohin lang Ninevah kiti khopi lentaha khun gihna thu gaphongdoh tan ajeh chu amite’u gitlouna hi kamu chen tan ahi.

3 And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.

Ahinlah Jonah akipat dohin Pakaiya konin akihei mangin Joppa kongkai munlanga achen kong sunga alut in atou man apen Tarshish lam jonin akitoltan ahi.

4 And the Lord sent out a great wind on to the sea and there was a violent storm in the sea, so that the ship seemed in danger of being broken.

Ahin Pakaiyin twikhanglen chunga chun huipi hattahin ahin nun sahin kong suhkeh theileu chun hui le go nasatahin ahin nuhtan ahi.

5 Then the sailors were full of fear, every man crying to his god; and the goods in the ship were dropped out into the sea to make the weight less. But Jonah had gone down into the inmost part of the ship where he was stretched out in a deep sleep.

Kong sepai ho chu thina khop hellin akichatauvin, lung lengvai pumin ama ama Pathen ngehnan ataovun, chuleh kong jankhaina ding chun kong sunga kon chun thil gehsa ho chu aseplha tauvin ahi. Ahinlah Jonah chu kong indan noinung penna akum lhan ana lummin kho helou khopin ana imu lhatan ahi.

6 And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.

Hichun kong sepai lamkai pa chun Jonah chu aga mudohin ajah a “A imupa ipi nangaito hitam thoudoh in na Pathen henga tauvin chutileh aman ithigam nadiuva konna hi eihuhdoh theidiu ahi” ati.

7 And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man.

Hitichun amaho akihouvun, khaije hiche vangsetna hi eiholah a koipen jeh hiding ham vang veuhite akitiuvin, vang avetauvin ahileh Jonah chunga chun achu tan ahi.

8 Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people?

Hichun amahon Jonah komma ipi jeh'a hitobang vangsetna hi ichunguva chu hitam? Nang koi nahim? Ipi na tong na him? Hoiya konna na hung ham? Koigam mi nahim? tin adong tauvin ahi.

9 And he said to them, I am a Hebrew, a worshipper of the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.

Jonah in adonbutin, keima Hebrew mi kahin, Leiset leh Twikhanglen semma van Pathen ging jinga um mi kahi ati.

10 And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them.

Jonah chun Pathen na konna hung jamdoha ahi chu a seidoh phat in amaho aha kichat behsehun, epi na bolkhel hitam atiuvin ahi.

11 And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.

Twikhanglen chu aha khoh cheh cheh phat chun amahon nanghi i-nalo uleng hiche Twikhanglen hi thip thei ding ham atiuvin ahi.

12 And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you.

Hichun aman amaho koma chun keima hi nei dom sangun lang Twikhanglen'a hin neiseplut leu chun hichi twipi kinong hi tang tante “Ajeh chu hiche twipi kinong hi keijeh ahi” ati.

13 And the men were working hard to get back to the land, but they were not able to do so: for the sea got rougher and rougher against them.

Ahijeng vang'in amahon ajo kham chanun kong chu leigo langa toldoh tei ding agongun ahinlah Twikhanglen kinong chu akhoh cheh jotan,

14 So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.

Hijeh chun amaho Jonah Pathen komma chun ataovun “Vo Pakai nei lungset unlang hichi pa chonset jeh'in nei sumang hihun chuleh heche pan thina ato jeh'in keiho mo neipehihbeh un, O Pakai nangin hichi mipa jeh'a hi hitobang thilse hi nasohsah ah bouve ti kahe tauve” atiuvin ahi.

15 So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry.

Hichun kongtol hon Jonah chu aman’un aselhahuva ahileh Twikhanglen kinong hoisetah chu athipchet jeng tan ahi.

16 Then great was the men's fear of the Lord; and they made an offering to the Lord and took oaths to him.

Kongtol ho chun Pakai thanei dan chu amudoh phatun akichalheh jingun pumgo thilto abolun kitepna anei tauvin ahi.

17 And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.

Hichun Pakaiyin Jonah val lut dingin nga lentah khat ana gongin hiti chun Jonah chu hiche ngapi sunga chun nithum le janthum atham tan ahi.
