Jonah 3
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye ne obiro ni Jona mar ariyo kama:
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I shall bid thee.
“Dhiyo e dala maduongʼ mar Nineve, kendo iwachne jo-dalano weche mane anyisi.”
3 And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding 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 a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!
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 God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
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 the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and 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 caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor 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 man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence 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 knoweth but that God will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
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 turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did [it] not.
Kane Nyasaye oneno gik mane gitimo ka giweyo timbegi maricho, nokechogi mi koro ne ok okelonigi masiche duto mane osewacho ni obiro kelo nigi.
