Jonah 3
1 Jonah koe Cathut e lawk bout ka tho e teh,
And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
2 thaw nateh Nineveh kholah cet loe, lawk na thui e patetlah hramkhai loe telah atipouh.
Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to you of.
3 Hatnavah, Jonah teh Cathut ni kâ a poe e patetlah a thaw teh Nineveh kho lah a cei. Nineveh kho teh khopui lah ao dawkvah hnin thum touh lamcei akaw.
And Jonas arose, and went to Nineve, as the Lord had spoken. Now Nineve was an exceeding great city, of about three days' journey.
4 Jonah ni khothung a kâen teh, hnin touh lam a cei teh, hnin rui pali touh aloum hnukkhu Nineveh khopui teh a rawk han toe telah a pathang.
And Jonas began to enter into the city about a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said, Yet three days, and Nineve shall be overthrown.
5 Nineveh khothung e taminaw ni Cathut e lawk a yuem awh teh, tami kacue kanaw abuemlah rawcahai nahane atueng a pathang awh teh buri a kâkhu awh.
And the men of Nineve believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloths, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
6 Nineveh siangpahrang ni hote kamthang a thai navah a bawi tungkhung dawk hoi a thaw teh, a puengcang a kârading hnukkhu, buri a kâkhu teh vaiphu dawk a tahung.
And the word reached the king of Nineve, and he arose from off his throne, and took off his raiment from him, and put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.
7 Tami hoi saringnaw abuemlah sairasuep lah awmseh. Rawca cat sak awh hanh. Tui hai net sak awh hanh.
And proclamation was made, and it was commanded in Nineve by the king an by his great men, saying, Let not men, or cattle, or oxen, or sheep, taste [any thing], nor feed, nor drink water.
8 Taminaw hoi saringnaw teh buri kâkhu awh naseh. Cathut koe lungthin katang hoi ratoum awh naseh. Tami tangkuem amamouh ni a dawn awh e rawknae lamthung hno kahawihoehe a sak awh e roun awh naseh.
So men and cattle were clothed with sackcloths, and cried earnestly to God; and they turned every one from their evil way, and from the iniquity that was in their hands, saying,
9 Maimanaw teh rawknae dawk hoi hlout awh nahanelah, Cathut a lungkâthung teh puenghoi a lungkhueknae hah a roum thai hoi a roum thai hoeh e hah apinimaw a dei thai a titeh, siangpahrang hoi bawinaw e kâ lahoi Nineveh khopui thung a pathang sak.
Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
10 Khocanaw ni amamouh ni a dawn awh e kahawihoehe lamthung a roun awh teh, a tawksak awh e naw hah Cathut ni a hmu navah ahmaloe pakhinae runae hah ahnimouh koe phat sak hoeh.
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil ways; and God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did [it] not.
