Jonah 3
1 Anivei channa in Jonah kom’a Pathen thu ahung lhung kit tan,
And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying:
2 “Kipatdohin lang khopi lentah Nineveh a chen lang akhopi mite kom’a keiman nang kom’a ka seipeh sa thuhi gasam phongtan atin, ahi.”
'Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and make unto it the proclamation that I bid thee.'
3 Hiti chun Jonah akipat dohin Pakai thupeh dungjui in Nineveh langa achetan ahi. Nineveh hi khopi lentah ahin nithum lam kijot ahi.
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey.
4 Jonah chu akhopi sunga alut in nikhat lhingset ajot pan tan ahi. Hichea chun Jonah in, “Ni somli jou tengleh Neniveh khopi hi akup athalla kileh ding ahi!” tin asam phong tan ahi.
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said: 'Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.'
5 Hichun Nineveh mipiten Pathen thupeh chu atahsanun aneo pen’a pat alen pen geijin an angolun khaodip pon akisilun alungkham na’u chu aphong doh tauvin ahi.
And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 Nineveh lengpan Jonah thusei chu ajahdoh phat in alaltouna a konin ahung kum lhan alengpon loupi chu ahohlhan khaodip pon chu akisilin ahi.
And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 Hichun lengpa leh amilen amilal ten thupeh khat khopi sung pumpia aphongdoh un mihem hihen lang gancha ho hijong leh anneh twidon abollouhel ding ahi.
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 any thing; let them not feed, nor drink water;
8 Mihem hihen gancha hijong leh lunggim lunghem pum’a, Pathen a lunggil taha taona iman diu pumhatna natoh leh ithilse bol nauva konna ikihei mang ding’u ahi, tin a phongdoh tan ahi.
but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Ijeh innem itileh, Pathen jengin jong alung hin heijin tin eisuhgimna diuva kon’a eihin dohsah jing theiju ahi, atiuvin ahi.
Who knoweth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?'
10 Hitobang thil abol’u chu Pathenin amudoh a itobang taha thilse bolna a konna kihei manga kingai tom’a hiuvem ti amudoh phatin alung aheitan achunguva lhunsah dinga aseisa thilse chu abol datan ahi.
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, which He said He would do unto them; and He did it not.
