< Jonah 3 >

1 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ionah the seconde time, saying,
Niheo am’ Ionà fañindroe’e ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
2 Arise, goe vnto Nineueh that great citie, and preach vnto it the preaching, which I bid thee.
Miavota mb’e Ninevè, i rova jabajabay mb’eo, vaho tseizo ama’e ty saontsy hatoroko azo.
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.
Aa le niongake t’Ionà, nañavelo mb’e Ninevè mb’eo ty amy tsara’ Iehovày. Rova jabajaba ty Ninevè kanao lia telo andro te rangàeñe.
4 And Ionah began to enter into the citie a dayes iourney, and he cryed, and said, Yet fourtie dayes, and Nineueh shalbe ouerthrowen.
Namototse naneñateña i rovay t’Ionà lia andro raike vaho nikoike ty hoe: Ie heneke ty efa-polo andro le ho ro­tsake t’i Ninevè.
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.
Aa le niantok’ an’ Andrianañahare ondati’ i Ninevèo, le nitsey lilitse vaho nisikin-gony, ty loho bey pak’ an-tsitso’e.
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.
Niheo amy mpanjaka’ i Ninevèy i tsaray, le niongake amy fiambesa’ey naho nahifi’e añe ty sarimbo’e naho nisaron-gony vaho nipisetse an-davenok’ ao.
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.
Nampitsitsife’e tsey ty Nineve ami’ty hoe: Ami’ty fandilia’ i mpanjakay naho o roandria’eo: Ehe ko apoke hitsopeke ndra inoñ’ inoñe ze ondaty ndra hare, ze mpirai-troke ndra lia-raike; ko meañe hihinañe ndra hinon-drano,
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.
le ampisaroñan-gony ondatio naho o hareo, sindre hipoña-toreo aman’ Añahare; songa hitolik’ amo sata rati’eo naho amo halò-tsere’e am-pità’eo.
9 Who can tell if God will turne, and repent and turne away from his fierce wrath, that we perish not?
Ia ty hahafohiñe he hitolike t’i Andrianañahare naho hiheve, hiamboho amy haviñera’e miforoforoy, tsy hihomahan-tika?
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.
Aa naho nahavazoho o fitoloña’ iareoo t’i Andrianañahare, t’ie niamboho amo sata rati’eo, le napo’e i hankàñe nitsarae’e ho nanoe’e am’ iereoy, vaho tsy nanoe’e.
