Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish.
Jonah ni tangapui vonthung ao navah Cathut koe a ratoum e teh,
2 He began, “In my agony I cried out to the Lord and he answered me; from the depths of Sheol I pleaded for help and you answered me. (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 You threw me into the deep, all the way down to the bottom of the sea. Water flooded all around me; your crashing waves rolled 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 I said to myself, ‘The Lord has banished me from his sight. Will I ever see your holy Temple again?’
Hottelah, na hmalah hoi na pâlei eiteh, kathounge bawkim teh pou ka khet han telah ka dei.
5 The water swirled over me so I couldn't breathe; the deep sucked me down; seaweed wrapped itself around 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 sank down to the base of the mountains; the earth barred me in forever. But you, my Lord, my God, brought me back up from the abyss.
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 As my life ebbed away, I remembered the Lord; my prayer came to you in your holy Temple.
Lungpout laihoi ka o nah Cathut hah ka pouk teh, kaie ratoumnae teh bawkim kathoung dawk Bawipa koe a pha.
8 Those who worship worthless idols give up their trust in God's goodness.
Cungkeihoehe meikaphawk ka bawk naw niteh, a coe awh hane lungmanae hah a tâkhawng awh.
9 But I will offer you sacrifices, shouting out my thanks. I will keep my promises to you, for salvation comes from the Lord.”
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 Then the Lord told the fish to spit out Jonah onto the shore.
Hatnavah Cathut ni tangapui hah kâ a poe teh, tangapui ni Jonah hah a kawngteng lah a palo.
