< Jonah 2 >

1 And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
Jonah ni tangapui vonthung ao navah Cathut koe a ratoum e teh,
2 and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
Kai teh runae ka kâhmo dawkvah, Cathut ka kaw teh na thai pouh. Duenae vonthung hoi kaw e lawk na thai pouh. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
Bawipa ni kai teh kadung poung e tuipui lungui na tâkhawng dawkvah, tui ni na kalup teh tuicapa pueng ni muen na ramuk.
4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
Hottelah, na hmalah hoi na pâlei eiteh, kathounge bawkim teh pou ka khet han telah ka dei.
5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
Tui ni due sak hanelah na kalup teh, tui lungui vah na paung teh, tuipho ni ka lû dawk a yawngyen.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
Mon khok koe ka pha teh, tho pou kâkhan e thung ka phat ei nakunghai, BAWIPA Cathut ni rawknae hmuen koehoi na rasa han.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
Lungpout laihoi ka o nah Cathut hah ka pouk teh, kaie ratoumnae teh bawkim kathoung dawk Bawipa koe a pha.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Cungkeihoehe meikaphawk ka bawk naw niteh, a coe awh hane lungmanae hah a tâkhawng awh.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
Kai teh a lungmanae hah lunghawilawkdeinae hoi bawknae ka sak han. Lawk ka kam e patetlah ka sak han. Rungngangnae teh BAWIPA e doeh.
10 And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
Hatnavah Cathut ni tangapui hah kâ a poe teh, tangapui ni Jonah hah a kawngteng lah a palo.
