Jonas 3
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
Sa’an nan sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Yunana sau na biyu.
2 Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to you of.
“Tafi babban birnin nan Ninebe, ka yi masa shelar saƙon da na ba ka.”
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.
Sai Yunana ya yi biyayya da maganar Ubangiji, ya tafi Ninebe. Ninebe birni ne da yake da muhimmanci, wanda sai an ɗauki kwana uku kafin a iya zaga shi.
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.
A rana ta fari, Yunana ya kama tafiya yana ratsa birnin. Sai ya yi shela cewa, “Nan da kwana arba’in za a hallaka Ninebe?”
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.
Mutanen Ninebe kuwa suka gaskata Allah. Aka yi shela a yi azumi, sai dukansu daga babba har zuwa ƙaraminsu, suka sa tufafin makoki.
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.
Da saƙon Yunana ya kai kunnen sarkin Ninebe, sai ya tashi daga kujerar mulkinsa, ya tuɓe alkyabbarsa, ya sa rigar makoki, ya zauna cikin toka.
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.
Sai ya yi umarni a Ninebe cewa, “Bisa ga umarnin sarki da fadawansa. “Kada a bar wani mutum ko dabba, garke ko shannu, su ɗanɗana wani abu; kada a bari su ci ko su sha.
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,
Bari kowane mutum da dabba yă yafa rigunan makoki. Kowa yă roƙi Allah da gaske, kowa kuma yă bar mugayen ayyukan da yake yi.
9 Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
Wa ya sani? Ko Allah zai ji tausayinmu da kuma juyayinmu yă janye zafin fushinsa don kada mu hallaka.”
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.
Da Allah ya ga abin da suka yi, da kuma yadda suka juya daga mugayen hanyoyinsu sai ya ji tausayinsu, bai kawo hallaka a kansu yadda ya yi shirin yi ba.
