Youna 3
1 Be Hina Gode da bu Younama sia: i.
The LORD’s word came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 “Di Ninefe moilai bai bagade fi, ilima asili, sia: na dima sia: ne i amo, dia ilima olelema.”
“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you.”
3 Amabeba: le Youna da Hina Gode ea sia: nabawane, Ninefe moilai bai bagade amoga Ea sia: olelemusa: asi. Ninefe da moilai bai bagade galu. Amodili ahoanoba, eso osodayale galagai.
So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the LORD’s word. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey across.
4 Amola Youna da Gode Ea sia: amo moilai bai bagade ganodini olelemusa: asili, eso afaega asili, amane sisia: i, “Eso 40 agoane esalu, Gode da Ninefe fi gugunufinisimu!”
Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”
5 Ninefe dunu fi ilia Gode ea sia: amo nababeba: le, dafawane dawa: i, amola ilia da ha: i mae moma: ne, sema ligi. Dunu huluane amola ouligisu dunu huluane ilia da eboboi abula gaga: ne, Hina Godema asigi hou amola sinidigisu hou olelema: ne.
The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least.
6 Amo sia: nababeba: le, Ninefe hina bagade dunu e fisu ganodini esalu amo wa: legadole amola ea abula noga: i amo gisa: le amola eboboi abula salawane, nasubu sogebi ganodini fi.
The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 Amanoba, Ninefe hina bagade ea dunu fifi lai huluane ilima hamoma: ne sisa: lai. E amane sia: i, “Goe da na sia: amola eagene ouligisu dunu huluane amola amo ilia sia: Dilia huluane da ha: i manu mae moma. Dunu fifi lai amola ohe fi, dili huluane ha: i amola hano mae moma.
He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
8 Dunu fi amola ohe fi huluane da abula eboboi salima: mu. Dunu huluane afae afae da hina: wadela: i hou amo fisili, amola asigili Godema sia: ne gadoma: mu.
but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
9 Be Gode da Ea asigi bu sinidigisia, ninima asigimu amola ninia da hame bogogia: ma: bela: ?”
Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?”
10 Gode Ea ilia hou amo ba: i, amola ilia da Ema bu sinidigi amo ba: i. Amabeba: le, Gode da Ea ilima se imunu dawa: i amo hame i.
God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn’t do it.
