< Jonah 2 >
1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
Hiche ngapi oi-sunga kon chun Jonah ataovin,
2 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardst my voice. (Sheol )
Hiti hin aseijin ahi. Hitobanga hahsatna kato sung hin, keima Pakai henga kataovin Aman ka taona eisanpeh in ahi. Hiche thina lhankhuh tobanga konna nangma kahin kouvin Pakai nangman neihouvin ahi. (Sheol )
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
Nangin twipi thuhtah lah’a nei sonlut in, keima Twikhanglen lailunga kalhalut tai, hiche twipi chun eilonvuhin na twipi kinong gimnei noija hin neivui tai.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards thy holy temple.
Chujou chun Pakai nangin nanga konin neipai dohin, ahijeng vang'in keiman na hou in thenglam kahin ngat kit ding ahi.
5 The waters encompassed me, [even] to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Na Twi kinong noija kalhaluttan chule hiche twipi hin eichup tan ahi. Twipi chun kapum pin eitom soh tai.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
Molsang bul geijin ka kikholuttan akelkot kikhah jing leisetin eikhen khum tan, ahin O Pakai, Pathen nangin hiche kokhuh a kon hin nei huhdoh tan ahi!
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.
Ka hinkho hi alamvai teng Pakai nangma ka hin gel doh jin, lunggil tah’a katao na Hou-in sunga ahung lutjin ahi.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Semthu pathen dihlou hou hon na mi hepina jong anung sun jitauve.
9 But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] which I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
Keiman vang nanga din thangvahna la sa pumin nanga dingin kiphaldoh jing ing kating, ka kitepna sa ho jong molso jing ding, ajeh chu huhhingna hi Pakai nanga kon bou ahi.
10 And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
Hiche jou chun Pakaiyin nga chu thu apen ahileh Jonah chu tolgo chunga alohdohtan ahi.
