Jonah 1
1 And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
Amittai capa Jonah khaeah, Angraeng ih lok to angzoh,
2 “Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness has come up before Me.”
angthawk ah loe, Nineveh vangpui ah caeh ah, nihcae sethaih ka hmaa ah phak boeh pongah, to vangpui misa haih lok to taphong ah.
3 And Jonah rises to flee to Tarshish from the face of YHWH, and goes down [to] Joppa, and finds a ship going [to] Tarshish, and he gives its fare, and goes down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of YHWH.
Toe Jonah loe Angraeng hmaa hoiah angthawk moe, Tarshish vangpui ah cawnh ving hanah amsak, to pongah Joppa vangpui bangah a caeh. To ah Joppa vangpui ah caehhaih palongpui maeto a hnuk; Angraeng hmaa hoi loih thai hanah, palongpui angthuenghaih atho to paek moe, Tarshish vangpui ah a caeh.
4 And YHWH has cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great storm in the sea, and the ship has reckoned to be broken;
Toe Angraeng mah tuipui ah thacak parai takhi to patoeh, to naah tuipui ah takhi sae to songh, to pongah palong to amro duih.
5 and the mariners are afraid, and they each cry to his god, and cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make [it] light of them; and Jonah has gone down to the sides of the vessel, and he lies down, and is fast asleep.
To naah palongpui angthueng kaminawk loe zit o moe, kami boih mah angmacae ih sithaw to palawk o, palongpui anghoep thai hanah, hmuenmaenawk to tuipui thungah a vah o. Toe Jonah loe palongpui tlim ah caeh tathuk, to ah angsong moe, a iih.
6 And the chief of the company draws near to him and says to him, “What are you [doing], O sleeper? Rise, call to your God, it may be God considers Himself of us, and we do not perish.”
To pongah palongpui mongh kalen koek anih khaeah caeh moe, Nang loe kawbang maw na iih thaih? Aicae anghmat o han ai ah, angthawk ah loe, na Sithaw to palawk ah; anih mah aicae han kho na poek pae khoe doeh om tih, tiah a naa.
7 And they each say to his neighbor, “Come, and we cast lots, and we know on whose account this evil [is] on us.” And they cast lots, and the lot falls on Jonah.
To naah a thungah kaom kaminawk mah, Angzo oh, mi pongah maw hae baktih raihaih hae aicae nui ah phak, tiah panoek thai hanah taham khethaih to sah o si, tiah maeto hoi maeto thuih o. Nihcae mah taham khethaih to sak o naah, Jonah nuiah krak.
8 And they say to him, “Now declare to us, on whose account [is] this evil on us? What [is] your occupation, and where do you come from? What [is] your country, seeing you are not of this people?”
To pacoengah nihcae mah anih khaeah, Aicae nuiah kaom raihaih loe mi pongah maw oh? Na thui ah, tih tok maw na sak? Naa bang hoiah maw nang zoh? Naa bang ih prae ah maw na oh? Naa bang ih kami maw? tiah lok a dueng o.
9 And he says to them, “I—a Hebrew, and I fear YHWH, God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”
Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kai loe Hebru kami ah ka oh, tuipui hoi saoeng boih Sahkung, Angraeng, van Sithaw to ka zit, tiah a naa.
10 And the men fear a great fear, and say to him, “What [is] this you have done!” For the men have known that he is fleeing from the face of YHWH, for he has told them.
To lok to palongpui angthueng kaminawk mah thaih o naah, zit o aep, Jonah mah nihcae khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, to kaminawk mah anih loe Angraeng khae hoi kacawn ving kami ni, tiah panoek o naah, anih khaeah, Tipongah hae tiah na oh loe? tiah a naa o.
11 And they say to him, “What do we do to you that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more turbulent?”
Tuipui ih tuiphu loe kanung aep ah angthawk pongah, nihcae mah Jonah khaeah, kangthawk tuipui ih tuiphu hae dipsak thai hanah, nang hae kawbang maw kang sak o han? tiah a naa o.
12 And he says to them, “Lift me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea ceases from you; for I know that on my account this great storm [is] on you.”
Jonah mah nihcae khaeah, Kai hae na la oh loe, tuipui thungah na va o halat ah, to tiah nahaeloe tuiphu to dip tih. Kai pongah ni nangcae nuiah takhi sae songh, tiah ka panoek, tiah a naa.
13 And the men row to turn back to the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more turbulent against them.
To tiah a thuih pae cadoeh palongpui mongh kaminawk loe tuitaeng bangah mongh hanah tha pathok o vop, toe tuiphu to angthawk moe, takhi sae kanung aep ah song pongah, caeh o thai ai.
14 And they cry to YHWH, and say, “Ah, now, O YHWH, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not lay innocent blood on us! For You, YHWH, as You have pleased, You have done.”
To naah nihcae loe Angraeng khaeah hang o, Aw Angraeng, tahmenhaih kang hnik o, tahmenhaih kang hnik o, hae kami ih hinghaih to lak hanah, kaicae hae duehsak hmah, zaehaih panoek ai kami maeto ih athii pongah kaicae hae zaehaih na net hmah, Aw Angraeng, na koeh ih baktih toengah ni, hae hmuen hae na sak boeh, tiah lawkthuih o.
15 And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceases from its raging;
To pongah Jonah to lak o moe, tuipui thungah a vah o: to naah kangthawk tuipui ih tuiphu to dip.
16 and the men fear YHWH [with] a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to YHWH, and vow vows.
To pacoengah loe to ah kaom kaminawk mah Angraeng to paroeai zit o, Angraeng khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih a sak o moe, lokkamhaih to a sak o.
17 And YHWH appoints a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.
Angraeng mah Jonah paaeh hanah tangapui to patoeh. Jonah loe tanga zok thungah ni thumto hoi qum thumto oh.
