Jonah 3
1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time:
Anivei channa in Jonah kom’a Pathen thu ahung lhung kit tan,
2 “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message that I give you.”
“Kipatdohin lang khopi lentah Nineveh a chen lang akhopi mite kom’a keiman nang kom’a ka seipeh sa thuhi gasam phongtan atin, ahi.”
3 This time Jonah got up and went to Nineveh, in accordance with the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, requiring a three-day journey.
Hiti chun Jonah akipat dohin Pakai thupeh dungjui in Nineveh langa achetan ahi. Nineveh hi khopi lentah ahin nithum lam kijot ahi.
4 On the first day of his journey, Jonah set out into the city and proclaimed, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!”
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.
5 And the Ninevites believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least.
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.
6 When word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Nineveh lengpan Jonah thusei chu ajahdoh phat in alaltouna a konin ahung kum lhan alengpon loupi chu ahohlhan khaodip pon chu akisilin ahi.
7 Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let no man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink.
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.
8 Furthermore, let both man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and have everyone call out earnestly to God. Let each one turn from his evil ways and from the violence in his hands.
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.
9 Who knows? God may turn and relent; He may turn from His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.”
Ijeh innem itileh, Pathen jengin jong alung hin heijin tin eisuhgimna diuva kon’a eihin dohsah jing theiju ahi, atiuvin ahi.
10 When God saw their actions—that they had turned from their evil ways—He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them.
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.
