Jonah 2
1 Jonah tah nga bung khui lamloh a Pathen BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
Jonah prayed to the Lord his God, out of the belly of the fish,
2 Te vaengah, “BOEIPA te kamah kah citcai lamloh ka khue tih kai n'doo coeng. Saelkhui bung khui lamloh bomnah kam bih vaengah ka ol na yaak coeng. (Sheol h7585)
and said: I cried out of my distress, to the Lord and he answered me; out of the midst of Sheol I cried aloud, and you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Kai he tuipuei tuilung neh tuiva laedil la nan voeih. Kai he na tuiphu boeih loh m'vael tih na lungkuk loh kai soah n'thing.
For you cast me into the deep, into heart of the seas, and the great flood rolled about me; all your breakers and your waves passed over me.
4 Tedae, “Kai tah na mikhmuh lamloh kai n'haek cakhaw, na hmuencim bawkim te paelki ham ni ka koei,’ ka ti.
Then I said, I am driven out, away from your sight; How will I ever again look towards your holy temple?
5 Kai he tui loh ka hinglu duela a li tih, tuidung loh kai m'vael. Carhaek loh ka lu a bol.
The waters surrounded me, the great deep engulfed me, the sea weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 Tlang yung duela ka suntla tih diklai loh a thohkalh te kai ham kumhal duela a kalh. Tedae ka Pathen BOEIPA loh ka hingnah he vaam lamloh na doek.
I went down to the roots of the mountains; the prison of the earth closed over me forever. Yet you brought up my life from destruction, O Lord my God.
7 Kai lamkah ka rhae vaengah BOEIPA te ka hinglu neh ka poek. Namah kah hmuencim bawkim ah ka thangthuinah te namah taengla ham pha.
As my life slipped away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer reached you, in your holy temple.
8 A honghi aka ngaithuen rhoek loh a poeyoek la a sitlohnah a hnawt uh.
Those who worship worthless idols abandon their own mercy,
9 Tedae kai tah namah taengah uemonah ol neh kan nawn vetih ka caeng bangla BOEIPA lamkah khangnah te ka thuung ni,” a ti.
but I will sacrifice to you with loud thanksgiving! I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is the Lord’s.
10 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh nga te a uen tih Jonah te laiphuei dongah a tha.
And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it threw up Jonah upon the dry land.
