Jonah 3
1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time:
LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Jonah.
2 “Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message that I give you.”
El fahk, “Fahla nu Nineveh, siti lulap sac, ac sulkakin nu sin mwet we pweng su nga fahkot nu sum.”
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.
Ouinge Jonah el akos LEUM GOD ac som nu Nineveh, sie siti yoklana, su enenu mwet se in fahsr len tolu in sasla kac.
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 el utyak nu in siti sac, ac tukun el fahsr len fon se el sulkakin pweng sac ac fahk, “Len angngaul na lula, na Nineveh ac fah kanausyukla!”
5 And the Ninevites believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least.
Mwet Nineveh elos lulalfongi ma God El fahk inge. Ouinge elos wotela mu mwet nukewa in lalo, na mwet fulat nwe ke mwet srisrik nukewa nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa in akkalemye lah elos auliyak.
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.
Ke tokosra lun Nineveh el lohngak, el tuyak liki tron lal, sarukla nuknuk in tokosra lal, nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac pituki fin apat uh.
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.
El supwalik sie sap nu sin mwet Nineveh, su fahk: “Sap soko sin tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal pa inge: Wangin mwet, ku cow, ku sheep, fah kang ku nim kutena ma.
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.
Mwet nukewa enenu in nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac ma orakrak nukewa enenu in afyufi ke nuknuk yohk eoa. Mwet nukewa enenu in pre akoaruye nu sin God, ac sisla ouiya sulallal ac orekma koluk lalos.
9 Who knows? God may turn and relent; He may turn from His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.”
Sahp God El ac ekulla nunak lal. Sahp El ac tila kasrkusrak, ac kut fah tia misa!”
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.
God El liye ma elos oru. El liye lah elos sisla ouiya koluk lalos. Ouinge El ekulla nunak lal ac tia sang kai nu selos, oana El tuh fahk mu El ac oru.
