< Jonah 3 >
1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying:
A HIKI hou mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Iona, i mai la;
2 'Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and make unto it the proclamation that I bid thee.'
E ku iluna, a hele i Nineva, i kela kulanakauhale nui, a e hai aku ia ia i ka olelo a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe.
3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey.
A ku ae la o Iona, a hele aku i Nineva, e like me ka olelo a Iehova. A o Nineva he kulanakauhale nui loa ia, ekolu la o ka hele ana.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said: 'Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.'
A hoomaka iho la o Iona e komo i ke kulanakauhale, hookahi la hele, a kahea aku ia, i aku la, Hookahi kanaha na la i koe, a e lukuia o Nineva.
5 And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
A manaoio aku la na kanaka o Nineva i ke Akua, a hai aku i ka hookeai, a hookomo lakou i ke kapa inoino, mai ka mea nui o lakou a ka mea uuku o lakou.
6 And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
A hiki ka olelo i ke alii o Nineva, a ku ae la ia mai kona nohoalii ae, a waiho aku la i kona kapa alii mai ona aku la, a komo iho la i ke kapa inoino, a noho iho la ma ka lehu.
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 any thing; let them not feed, nor drink water;
A kena aku la ia e hai aku a e olelo aku iloko o Nineva ma ke kauoha a ke alii, a me kona poe alii, i aku la, Mai ai ke kanaka i kekahi mea, aole na holoholona, o ka poe bipi a me ka poe hipa: mai ai lakou, aole hoi e inu i ka wai:
8 but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
A e houhiia na kanaka, a me na holoholona i ke kapa inoino, a kahea ikaika aku lakou i ke Akua: a e huli mai kela kanaka keia kanaka mai kona aoao hewa mai, a mai ka hana ino mai, ka mea maloko o ko lakou lima.
9 Who knoweth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?'
Owai ka mea e ike, e huli ae paha a e mihi ke Akua, a e huli ae, mai ka huhu o kona inaina mai, i luku ole ia kakou?
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, which He said He would do unto them; and He did it not.
A ike mai ke Akua i ka lakou hana ana, ua huli lakou mai ko lakou aoao hewa mai; mihi iho la ke Akua no ke ina ana i olelo ai e hana mai ia lakou, aole ia i hana mai.
