Jonah 3
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying:
Jonah koe Cathut e lawk bout ka tho e teh,
2 Arise, and go to Ninive the great city: and preach in it the preaching that I bid thee.
thaw nateh Nineveh kholah cet loe, lawk na thui e patetlah hramkhai loe telah atipouh.
3 And Jonas arose, and went to Ninive, according to the word of the Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days’ journey.
Hatnavah, Jonah teh Cathut ni kâ a poe e patetlah a thaw teh Nineveh kho lah a cei. Nineveh kho teh khopui lah ao dawkvah hnin thum touh lamcei akaw.
4 And Jonas began to enter into the city one day’s journey: and he cried, and said: Yet forty days, and Ninive shall be destroyed.
Jonah ni khothung a kâen teh, hnin touh lam a cei teh, hnin rui pali touh aloum hnukkhu Nineveh khopui teh a rawk han toe telah a pathang.
5 And the men of Ninive believed in God: and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least.
Nineveh khothung e taminaw ni Cathut e lawk a yuem awh teh, tami kacue kanaw abuemlah rawcahai nahane atueng a pathang awh teh buri a kâkhu awh.
6 And the word came to the king of Ninive; and he rose up out of his throne, and cast away his robe from him, and was clothed with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Nineveh siangpahrang ni hote kamthang a thai navah a bawi tungkhung dawk hoi a thaw teh, a puengcang a kârading hnukkhu, buri a kâkhu teh vaiphu dawk a tahung.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published in Ninive from the mouth of the king and of his princes, saying: Let neither men nor beasts, oxen nor sheep, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water.
Tami hoi saringnaw abuemlah sairasuep lah awmseh. Rawca cat sak awh hanh. Tui hai net sak awh hanh.
8 And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and cry to the Lord with all their strength, and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands.
Taminaw hoi saringnaw teh buri kâkhu awh naseh. Cathut koe lungthin katang hoi ratoum awh naseh. Tami tangkuem amamouh ni a dawn awh e rawknae lamthung hno kahawihoehe a sak awh e roun awh naseh.
9 Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive: and will turn away from his fierce anger, and we shall not perish?
Maimanaw teh rawknae dawk hoi hlout awh nahanelah, Cathut a lungkâthung teh puenghoi a lungkhueknae hah a roum thai hoi a roum thai hoeh e hah apinimaw a dei thai a titeh, siangpahrang hoi bawinaw e kâ lahoi Nineveh khopui thung a pathang sak.
10 And God saw their works, that they were turned from their evil way: and God had mercy with regard to the evil which he had said that he would do to them, and he did it not.
Khocanaw ni amamouh ni a dawn awh e kahawihoehe lamthung a roun awh teh, a tawksak awh e naw hah Cathut ni a hmu navah ahmaloe pakhinae runae hah ahnimouh koe phat sak hoeh.
