And he arose Jonah and he went to Nineveh according to [the] word of Yahweh and Nineveh it was a city great to God a journey of three days.
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 he began Jonah to go in the city a journey of a day one and he proclaimed and he said yet forty day[s] and Nineveh [is] about to be overturned.
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 they believed [the] people of Nineveh in God and they proclaimed a fast and they wore sackcloth from great their and unto insignificant their.
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 it reached the word to [the] king of Nineveh and he arose from throne his and he took off cloak his from on him and he covered sackcloth and he sat on ash[es].

And he had a proclamation made and he said in Nineveh from [the] decree of the king and great [people] his saying the people and the livestock the cattle and the flock[s] may not they taste anything may not they graze and water may not they drink.
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.
And they may cover themselves sackcloth the people and the livestock and let them call out to God with strength and let them turn back everyone from way his evil and from the violence which [is] in palms their.
