Jonas 3
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
Bondye pale yon dezyèm fwa ankò ak Jonas,
2 Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to thee of.
li di l' konsa: -Leve non! Ale lavil Niniv, gwo kapital la. Fè yo konnen mesaj mwen te ba ou pou yo a.
3 And Jonas arose, and went to Nineve, as the Lord had spoken. Now Nineve was an exceeding great city, of about three days' journey.
Se konsa, Jonas leve, li ale lavil Niniv jan Seyè a te di l' la. Niniv te yon gwo lavil ki mande twa jou pou mache soti nan yon bout ale nan lòt bout la.
4 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.
Jonas antre nan lavil la. Li fè yon jounen ap mache. Epi li pran pale ak moun yo. Li di yo konsa: -Nan karant jou lavil Niniv pral disparèt.
5 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.
Moun lavil yo te kwè nan mesaj Bondye a. Yo bay lòd pou tout moun, malere kou grannèg, rete san manje, pou yo mete rad sak sou yo pou moutre jan yo nan lapenn pou tout mal yo te fè.
6 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.
Nouvèl la rive nan zòrèy wa lavil Niniv la. Li leve sou fotèy li a, li wete bèl rad ki te sou li a, li mete rad sak sou li. Lèfini, li chita atè nan sann dife.
7 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.
Li voye fè yon piblikasyon nan tout lavil la. Li di konsa: -Men lòd wa a ansanm ak lòt chèf li yo bay: Pesonn pa pou manje anyen. Ni moun, ni bèf, ni mouton, tout pou rete san manje san bwè.
8 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,
Tout moun va gen rad sak sou yo. Tout bèt va nan lapenn. Tout moun va lapriyè Bondye ak tout kè yo. Y'a kite tout move zak ak tout mechanste yo te konn fè nan lavi yo.
9 Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
Nou pa janm konnen, Bondye ka chanje lide. L'a règrèt sa li tapral fè a, li p'ap fache sou nou ankò. Konsa, nou p'ap mouri.
10 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.
Bondye wè sa yo t'ap fè a. Li wè yo te soti pou yo chanje lavi yo vre. Se konsa li chanje lide. Li pa pini yo ankò jan li te di li tapral pini yo a.
