Jonah 1
1 The worde of the Lord came also vnto Ionah the sonne of Amittai, saying,
BOEIPA ol tah Amittai capa Jonah taengah om tih,
2 Arise, and goe to Nineueh, that great citie, and crye against it: for their wickednesse is come vp before mee.
“Thoo, khopuei len Nineveh la cet lamtah a taengah hoe pah. Amih kah boethae he ka mikhmuh ah pai coeng,” a ti nah.
3 But Ionah rose vp to flee into Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went downe to Iapho: and he founde a ship going to Tarshish: so he payed the fare thereof, and went downe into it, that he might go with them vnto Tarshish, from the presence of the Lord.
Tedae Jonah tah BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh Tarshish la yong hamla thoo tih Joppa la suntla. Te vaengah Tarshish aka pha sangpho te a hmuh. Te dongah a thapang te a paek tih BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh amih neh Tarshish la caeh ham a khuila kun.
4 But the Lord sent out a great winde into the sea, and there was a mightie tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh khohli len te tuitunli ah a hut sak. Te vaengah hlipuei khaw tuitunli soah hli khungdaeng tih sangpho khaw ka rhek eh a ti coeng.
5 Then the mariners were afraide, and cryed euery man vnto his God, and cast the wares that were in the ship, into the sea to lighten it of the: but Ionah was gone downe into the sides of the ship, and he lay downe, and was fast a sleepe.
Sangphobibi rhoek loh a rhih dongah hlang loh amah kah pathen te ni a khue uh coeng. A soah yanghoep hamla sangpho dongkah hnopai te tuitunli khuila a dong uh. Tedae Jonah tah sangpho hlaep la suntla tih a yalh neh muelh ip.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and saide vnto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call vpon thy God, if so be that God wil thinke vpon vs, that we perish not.
Te dongah sangphoboei kung loh anih te a paan. Te vaengah anih te, “Nang te balae tih na ih? Thoo, na Pathen te khue laeh, Pathen loh mamih ham a poek atah m'milh uh pawt khaming,” a ti nah.
7 And they saide euery one to his fellowe, Come, and let vs cast lottes, that we may know, for whose cause this euill is vpon vs. So they cast lottes, and the lot fell vpon Ionah.
Te dongah hlang loh a hui taengah, “Halo lamtah hmulung naan sih. Te vaengah mamih taengkah yoethaenah he u kong ah ti khaw ming uh sih,” a ti nah. Tedae hmulung a naan uh hatah tah hmulung loh Jonah a tlak thil.
8 Then said they vnto him, Tell vs for whose cause this euill is vpon vs? what is thine occupation? and whence commest thou? which is thy countrey? and of what people art thou?
Te phoeiah anih te, “Kaimih taengah thui laeh, mamih taengkah yoethaenah he u kongah nim? Na bitat tah balae? Me lamlong nim na pawk? Melae na khohmuen? Te lamkah te menim na pilnam?” a ti na uh.
9 And he answered them, I am an Ebrewe, and I feare the Lord God of heauen, which hath made the sea, and the dry lande.
Te dongah amih te, “Kai tah Hebrew ni. Vaan kah Pathen YAHWEH te ka rhih. Amah loh tuitunli neh laiphuei te khaw a saii,” a ti nah.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afrayde, and said vnto him, Why hast thou done this? (for the men knewe, that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had tolde them)
Te dongah hlang rhoek tah rhihnah puei neh a rhih uh anih te, “Balae tih he tla na saii,” a ti na uh. Amah te amih taengah a puen coeng dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh a yong te khaw hlang rhoek loh a ming uh coeng.
11 Then saide they vnto him, What shall we doe vnto thee, that the sea may be calme vnto vs? (for the sea wrought and was troublous)
Te phoeiah anih te, “Nang te metlam kan saii uh eh? Te daengah ni tuitunli khaw mamih taeng lamloh a paa eh. Tuitunli he cet tih thikthuek coeng dongah,” a ti na uh.
12 And he said vnto them, Take me, and cast me into the sea: so shall the sea be calme vnto you: for I knowe that for my sake this great tempest is vpon you.
Te dongah amih te, “Kamah he m'pom uh lamtah kai he tuitunli khuila n'dong uh laeh. Te vaengah tuitunli khaw nangmih taeng lamloh paa bitni. Kai kong ah hlipuei len he nangmih soah a tloh tila ka ming,” a ti nah.
13 Neuerthelesse, the men rowed to bring it to the lande, but they coulde not: for the sea wrought, and was troublous against them.
Te vaengah laiphuei dongla mael ham hlang rhoek loh a kaih uh. Tedae tuitunli khaw cet tih amih taengah a thikthuek pah dongah noeng uh pawh.
14 Wherefore they cryed vnto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let vs not perish for this mans life, and lay not vpon vs innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done, as it pleased thee.
Te daengah BOEIPA te a khue uh tih, “Aw, YAHWEH, he hlang kah hinglu dongah m'milh sak uh mai boeh. Ommongsitoe kah thii he kaimih soah khueh boeh. BOEIPA namah ham tah na ngaih bangla saii nawn,” a ti uh.
15 So they tooke vp Ionah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from her raging.
Jonah te a pom uh tih amah ah tuitunli la a dong uh daengah ni tuitunli kah a hmai a tal khaw a duem pueng.
16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice vnto the Lord, and made vowes.
Te dongah hlang loh BOEIPA a rhih uh he a rhihnah khaw len. BOEIPA taengah hmueih a nawn uh tih olcaeng khaw a caeng uh.
17 Nowe the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallowe vp Ionah: and Ionah was in the belly of the fish three dayes, and three nightes.
Tedae Jonah aka dolh hamla nga len te BOEIPA loh a khueh coeng. Te dongah Jonah tah nga bung khuiah khothaih hnin thum neh khoyin hnin thum om.
