Jonas 3
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
BOEIPA ol he Jonah taengah a pabae la cet tih,
2 Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to you of.
“Thoo, Nineveh khopuei len la cet lamtah nang taengah olthang ka thui te a taengah hoe pah,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Jonah te thoo tih BOEIPA ol bangla Nineveh la cet. Te vaengah Nineveh tah Pathen taengah khopuei koek la om tih hnin thum caeh lo.
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.
Jonah te hlah tih khopuei khuiah hnin at caeh a pha neh a hoe coeng. Te vaengah, “Hnin sawmli om pueng dae Nineveh a palet coeng,” a ti.
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.
Te vaengah Nineveh hlang rhoek loh Pathen te a tangnah uh. Te dongah yaehnah te a hoe uh tih a len lamloh a yit duela tlamhni a bai uh.
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.
Ol loh Nineveh manghai taengla a pha. Te dongah a ngolkhoel lamloh thoo tih a pum dongkah a himbai te a pit. Te phoeiah tlamhni a bai tih hmaiphu lakli ah ngol.
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.
Te phoeiah pang tih manghai kah omih neh Nineveh ah a thui. A len rhoek taengah, “Hlang neh rhamsa khaw, saelhung neh boiva loh, caak pakhat khaw ten boel saeh lamtah bul boel saeh, tui khaw o boel saeh.
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,
Hlang neh rhamsa loh tlamhni bai uh saeh lamtah Pathen te thama la khue uh saeh. Hlang he amah kah boethae longpuei lamloh, a kut dongkah kuthlahnah lamloh mael saeh.
9 Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
Ulong a ming huek? Pathen he mael tih ko a hlawt khaming. A thintoek thinsa lamloh a mael daengah ni m'milh uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
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.
Amih kah boethae longpuei lamloh a mael uh dongah amih khoboe te Pathen loh a hmuh. Te dongah Pathen loh ko a hlawt tih amih soah boethae saii hamla a thui dae saii pawh.
