Jonah 1
1 And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,
Amittai capa, Jonah koe ka tho e BAWIPA e lawk teh,
2 “Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness has come up before Me.”
Thaw haw, Nineveh khopui lah cet nateh, pakhinae hoi hramkhai haw. Hote khopui taminaw ni yonnae a sak awh e teh ka hmalah a pha toe telah a ti.
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.
Hatei Jonah ni BAWIPA koehoi Tarshish kho lah yawng hane a kâcai. A thaw teh Joppa kho lah a cei teh a pha. Tarshish kho lah ka cet e long hoi a kâhmo teh, kâcuinae phu a poe teh Cathut koehoi long kamawngnaw hoi Tarshish kho lah reirei cei hanelah long a kâcui.
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;
Cathut ni kahlî katang poung e tuipui koe a patoun dawkvah, tuipui dawk athakaawme tuicapa a thaw teh long meimei a kamko.
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.
Hatnavah long kamawngnaw ni a taki awh teh a cathut lengkaleng a kaw awh. Long a pâhaw nahanlah hnopainaw tui dawk a tâkhawng awh. Jonah teh long e vonpui koe a kum teh hawvah mat a i.
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.”
Long kaukkung a tho teh, Oe mat na ka ip e tami, bangtelane thaw haw. Na Cathut koe ratoum haw, maimouh hlout nahanlah ahni ni doum a thai talang teh atipouh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni be tho awh haw, apie yon kecu dawk ne hete hno a tâco tie panue thai nahanlah cungpam rayu a sei ati awh teh a kâpan awh. Hathnukkhu cungpam a rayu awh boteh, Jonah tak dawk a bo.
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?”
Ahnimouh ni bang e yon dawk maw hete hno a tâco dei haw. Nâ hoi maw na tho. Bang thaw maw na tawk. Api ram, api miphun maw telah a pacei awh.
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.”
Jonah ni kai teh Hebru miphun, tui hoi talai kasakkung kalvan e Jehovah Cathut ka bawk e doeh telah atipouh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni thouk a taki awh dawkvah, bangkongmaw hettelah na sak vaw telah a pacei awh. Jonah ni Cathut koehoi ka yawng tie a kâpâpho dawkvah a panue awh.
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?”
Hatnavah tuicapa teh hoe a thaw dawkvah, ahnimouh ni tuicapa a roum nahanlah nang dawk bangmaw ka sak awh han telah a pacei awh navah,
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.”
Kai heh na tawm awh nateh tui dawk na tâkhawng awh lawih. Hottelah na tâkhawng awh pawiteh tuicapa a roum han. Hete tûilî ka tho e teh kai kecu dawk doeh a tho tie ka panue atipouh.
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.
Hatei, long kamawngnaw ni namran lah pha thai nahanelah tha hoi tuisam a la awh eiteh, hoehoe tuicapa a thaw dawkvah bang ati thai awh hoeh torei teh,
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.”
Oe, BAWIPA kaimouh ni ngaithoumnae kâhei awh. Oe Jehovah, hete tami e a hringnae kecu dawk kaimouh koe thoenae phat hanh naseh. Yon ka tawn hoeh e tami hringnae ka thei awh dawkvah yonnae teh kaimouh koe na pen hanh. Oe BAWIPA, nang teh namamouh ni na ngai e patetlah doeh na sak telah a hram awh teh,
15 And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceases from its raging;
Jonah hah dawk a tawm awh teh tui dawk a tâkhawng awh. Hattoteh tuicapa a roum.
16 and the men fear YHWH [with] a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to YHWH, and vow vows.
Long kamawngnaw ni hai Cathut a taki awh teh thuengnae a sak awh hnukkhu lawk a kam awh.
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.
Cathut ni Jonah ka payawp hanelah tangapui a hmoun e patetlah Jonah teh tanga von thungvah hnin thum rum thum touh ao.
