1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah [the] son of Amittai saying.
BOEIPA ol tah Amittai capa Jonah taengah om tih,
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out on it for it has come up wickedness their before me.
“Thoo, khopuei len Nineveh la cet lamtah a taengah hoe pah. Amih kah boethae he ka mikhmuh ah pai coeng,” a ti nah.
3 And he arose Jonah to flee Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh and he went down Joppa and he found a ship - [which was] about to go Tarshish and he gave fare its and he went down in it to go with them Tarshish towards from to before Yahweh.
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 And Yahweh he threw a wind great to the sea and it was a storm great on the sea and the ship it thought 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 And they were afraid the sailors and they cried for help everyone to gods his and they threw the vessels which [were] in the ship into the sea to lighten from on them and Jonah he had gone down into [the] innermost parts of the ship and he had lain down and he had fallen fast asleep.
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 And he drew near to him [the] chief of the sailor[s] and he said to him what? [is] to you sleeping arise call to god your perhaps he will give thought the god to us and not we will perish.
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 said each to neighbor his come so let us cast lots so we may know by which of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us and they cast lots and it fell the lot on Jonah.
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 And they said to him tell! please to us because of whom? the evil this [belongs] to us what? [is] occupation your and from where? do you come what? [is] land your and where? from this people [are] you.
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 said to them [am] a Hebrew I and Yahweh [the] God of the heavens I [am] fearing who he made the sea and the dry land.
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 And they feared the men a fear great and they said to him what? this have you done for they knew the men that from to before Yahweh he [was] fleeing for he had told to 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 And they said to him what? will we do to you so it may be calm the sea from on us for the sea [was] going and storming.
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 to them pick up me and throw me into the sea so it may be calm the sea from on you for [am] knowing I that by which to me the storm great this [is] on 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 And they rowed the men to return to the dry land and not they were able for the sea [was] going and storming on 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 And they called out to Yahweh and they said we beg you O Yahweh do not please let us perish by [the] life of the man this and may not you put on us blood innocent for you O Yahweh just as you pleased you have done.
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 And they picked up Jonah and they threw him into the sea and it stopped the sea from storming its.
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 And they feared the men a fear great Yahweh and they sacrificed a sacrifice to Yahweh and they vowed vows.
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 And he appointed Yahweh a fish great to swallow Jonah and he was Jonah in [the] inward parts of the fish three days and three nights.
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.
