Jonah 3
1 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ionah the seconde time, saying,
BOEIPA ol he Jonah taengah a pabae la cet tih,
2 Arise, goe vnto Nineueh that great citie, and preach vnto it the preaching, which I bid thee.
“Thoo, Nineveh khopuei len la cet lamtah nang taengah olthang ka thui te a taengah hoe pah,” a ti nah.
3 So Ionah arose and went to Nineueh according to ye word of the Lord: now Nineueh was a great and excellent citie of three dayes iourney.
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 Ionah began to enter into the citie a dayes iourney, and he cryed, and said, Yet fourtie dayes, and Nineueh shalbe ouerthrowen.
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 So the people of Nineueh beleeued God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from ye greatest of the euen 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 For worde came vnto the King of Nineueh, and he rose from his throne, and he layed his robe from him, and couered him with sackecloth, and sate in 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 he proclaimed and said through Nineueh, (by the counsell of ye king and his nobles) saying, Let neither man, nor beast, bullock nor sheep taste any thing, neither feed nor drinke 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 But let man and beast put on sackecloth, and crie mightily vnto God: yea, let euery man turne from his euill way, and from the wickednesse that is in their handes.
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 can tell if God will turne, and repent and turne away from his fierce wrath, that we perish not?
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 sawe their workes that they turned from their euill wayes: and God repented of the euill that he had said that he woulde doe vnto 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.
