Jonah 3
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye ne obiro ni Jona mar ariyo kama:
2 Rise, and go to Nineveh, the great city. And preach in it the preaching that I say to you.
“Dhiyo e dala maduongʼ mar Nineve, kendo iwachne jo-dalano weche mane anyisi.”
3 And Jonah rose, and he went to Nineveh in accordance with the word of the Lord. And Nineveh was a great city of three days’ journey.
Jona notimo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho modhiyo Nineve. To Nineve ne en dala maduongʼ kendo mogen ma limbene ne dwaro wuoth ndalo adek eka itiek iye duto.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city one day’s journey. And he cried out and said, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed.”
Chiengʼ mokwongo kane Jona osedonjo e dier dalano, nogoyo milome kowacho niya, “Odongʼ ndalo piero angʼwen kende to itieko Nineve duto.”
5 And the men of Nineveh believed in God. And they proclaimed a fast, and they put on sackcloth, from the greatest all the way to the least.
Jo-Nineve, nolokore moyie kuom Nyasaye kendo negingʼado wach mondo ji duto otwe chiemo, kochakore jomadongo e diergi nyaka jomatindo duto, ka girwako pien gugru.
6 And word reached the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne, and he threw off his robe from himself and was clothed in sackcloth, and he sat in ashes.
Kane wach ochopo ne ruodh Nineve, ne oa malo e kom duongʼ mare molonyo lepe mag loch mi norwako pien gugru nobet piny e buru.
7 And he cried out and spoke: “In Nineveh, from the mouth of the king and of his princes, let it be said: Men and beasts and oxen and sheep may not taste anything. Neither shall they feed or drink water.
Eka ruoth gi jodonge nogolo chik e Nineve kawacho niya: “Kik dhano kata chiayo kata dhok bil gimoro, bende kik yienegi gichiem kata modho.
8 And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and let them cry out to the Lord with strength, and may man be converted from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands.
To we dhano kod le oumre gi pien gugru, ngʼato ka ngʼato oluong Nyasaye piyo piyo, to kendo giwe timbegi maricho ma achach.
9 Who knows if God may turn and forgive, and may turn away from his furious wrath, so that we might not perish?”
To en ngʼa mongʼeyo? Dipo ka mirimb Nyasaye odok chien, mi owe ich wangʼ kendo ongʼwon-nwa mi ok otiekowa.”
10 And God saw their works, that they had been converted from their evil way. And God took pity on them, concerning the harm that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
Kane Nyasaye oneno gik mane gitimo ka giweyo timbegi maricho, nokechogi mi koro ne ok okelonigi masiche duto mane osewacho ni obiro kelo nigi.
