< Jonas 2 >

1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
Hiche ngapi oi-sunga kon chun Jonah ataovin,
2 and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Hiti hin aseijin ahi. Hitobanga hahsatna kato sung hin, keima Pakai henga kataovin Aman ka taona eisanpeh in ahi. Hiche thina lhankhuh tobanga konna nangma kahin kouvin Pakai nangman neihouvin ahi. (Sheol h7585)
3 You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon me.
Nangin twipi thuhtah lah’a nei sonlut in, keima Twikhanglen lailunga kalhalut tai, hiche twipi chun eilonvuhin na twipi kinong gimnei noija hin neivui tai.
4 And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again towards your holy temple?
Chujou chun Pakai nangin nanga konin neipai dohin, ahijeng vang'in keiman na hou in thenglam kahin ngat kit ding ahi.
5 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
Na Twi kinong noija kalhaluttan chule hiche twipi hin eichup tan ahi. Twipi chun kapum pin eitom soh tai.
6 to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
Molsang bul geijin ka kikholuttan akelkot kikhah jing leisetin eikhen khum tan, ahin O Pakai, Pathen nangin hiche kokhuh a kon hin nei huhdoh tan ahi!
7 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
Ka hinkho hi alamvai teng Pakai nangma ka hin gel doh jin, lunggil tah’a katao na Hou-in sunga ahung lutjin ahi.
8 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
Semthu pathen dihlou hou hon na mi hepina jong anung sun jitauve.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
Keiman vang nanga din thangvahna la sa pumin nanga dingin kiphaldoh jing ing kating, ka kitepna sa ho jong molso jing ding, ajeh chu huhhingna hi Pakai nanga kon bou ahi.
10 And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
Hiche jou chun Pakaiyin nga chu thu apen ahileh Jonah chu tolgo chunga alohdohtan ahi.
