< Jonah 3 >
1 To pacoengah vai hnetto haih Angraeng ih lok Jonah khaeah phak,
上主的話再次傳給約納說:
2 angthawk ah, kalen pui, Nineveh vangpui ah caeh loe, kang paek ih lok to taphong ah, tiah a naa.
「你起身往尼尼微大城去,向他們宣告我曉諭你的事。」
3 To pongah Jonah loe angthawk moe, Angraeng ih lok baktih toengah, Nineveh vangpui ah a caeh. Nineveh loe kalen parai vangpui ah oh moe, ni thumto thung caeh ih vangpui ah oh.
約納便依從上主的話,起身去了尼尼微。尼尼微在天主前是一座大城,須要三天的行程。
4 Nito caeh pacoengah Jonah loe vangpui thungah akunh, to ah ni qui palito thung oh pacoengah, Nineveh vangpui to amtim tih boeh, tiah acoehaih lok to a thuih pae.
約納開始進城,行了一天的路程,宣佈說:「還有四十天,尼尼微就要毀滅了。」
5 To naah Nineveh vangpui thung ih kaminawk mah Sithaw to tang o, buhzah han taphong o, kathoeng koek hoi kalen koek khoek to kaminawk boih buri kahni to angkhuk o.
尼尼微人便信仰了天主,立刻宣佈禁食,從大到小,都身披苦衣。
6 To lok tamthang to Nineveh siangpahrang khaeah phak, to naah anih loe angmah ih angraeng tangkhang nui hoiah angthawk tahang moe, siangpahrang khukbuen to angkhring, buri kahni angkhuk pacoengah, maiphu thungah anghnut.
當這傳到尼尼微王那裏,他便起來,離開自己的寶座,脫去長服,披上苦衣,坐在灰土中;
7 Siangpahrang hoi oep kaom angmah ih kaminawk khokhanhaih rang hoiah, Nineveh vangpui ah lok to taphongsak boih; taphong ih lok loe, Kami doeh, pacah ih tuu hoi moinawk doeh rawkcak pacah o hmah; tidoeh pataengh han om ai: buh to caa o hmah nasoe, tui doeh nae o hmah nasoe:
然後命令以君王的諭令和其大臣的名義,在尼尼微宣佈說:「人、牲畜、牛羊,都可不可吃什麼;不可牧放,也不可喝水。
8 kami doeh, pacah ih moi doeh buri kahni to angkhuk o boih nasoe loe, Sithaw to kawk nasoe; ue, kami boih a sak o ih kahoih ai hmuen hoiah amlaem o nasoe, ban hoi a sak o ih kahoih ai hmuen thung hoiah amlaem o nasoe.
人和牲畜都應身披苦衣,人要懇切呼求天主,更要轉離自己的邪路,放棄手中的暴行。
9 To tiah nahaeloe aicae amro han ai ah, Sithaw mah tahmen ueloe, zit kathok palungphuihaih to dipsak khoe doeh om tih, tito mi mah maw thui thai tih? tiah lok to angzoh.
誰知道天主也許會轉意憐憫,收回自己的烈怒,使我們不致滅亡。」
10 Kaminawk loe a sak o ih kahoih ai hmuennawk hoi kasae loklam hoiah amlaem o let boeh, tiah Sithaw mah hnuk naah, Sithaw loe dawnpakhuem moe, nihcae nuiah ka phaksak han, tiah thuih ih raihaih to phasak ai.
天主看到他們所行的事,看到他們離開自己的邪路,遂憐憫他們,不將已宣佈的災禍,降在他們身上。
