Jonah 3
1 To pacoengah vai hnetto haih Angraeng ih lok Jonah khaeah phak,
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 angthawk ah, kalen pui, Nineveh vangpui ah caeh loe, kang paek ih lok to taphong ah, tiah a naa.
Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I shall bid thee.
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.
And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
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.
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!
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.
And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
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.
And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
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:
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water;
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.
and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
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.
Who knoweth but that God will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
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.
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did [it] not.
