Jonah 3
1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying:
At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Jonas na ikalawa, na nagsasabi,
2 'Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and make unto it the proclamation that I bid thee.'
Bumangon ka, pumaroon ka sa Ninive, sa malaking bayang yaon, at ipangaral mo ang pangaral na aking iniutos sa iyo.
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.
Sa gayo'y bumangon si Jonas, at naparoon sa Ninive, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon. Ang Ninive nga ay totoong malaking bayan, na tatlong araw na lakarin.
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.'
At pumasok si Jonas sa bayan na may isang araw na gumagala, at siya'y sumigaw, at nagsasabi, Apat na pung araw pa at ang Ninive ay mawawasak.
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.
At ang bayan ng Ninive ay sumampalataya sa Dios; at sila'y nangaghayag ng ayuno, at nangagsuot ng kayong magaspang, mula sa kadakidakilaan sa kanila hanggang sa kaliitliitan sa kanila.
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.
At ang mga balita ay dumating sa hari sa Ninive, at siya'y tumindig sa kaniyang luklukan, at hinubad niya ang kaniyang balabal, at nagbalot siya ng kayong magaspang, at naupo sa mga abo.
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;
At kaniyang inihayag at itinanyag sa buong Ninive sa pasiya ng hari at ng kaniyang mga mahal na tao, na sinasabi, Huwag lumasa maging tao ni hayop man, bakahan ni kawan man, ng anomang bagay: huwag silang magsikain, ni magsiinom man ng tubig;
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.
Kundi mangagbalot sila ng kayong magaspang, ang tao at gayon din ang hayop, at magsidaing silang mainam sa Dios: oo, talikdan ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang masamang lakad, at ang pangdadahas na nasa kanilang mga kamay.
9 Who knoweth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?'
Sino ang nakaaalam kung manumbalik ang Dios at magsisisi, at hihiwalay sa kaniyang mabangis na galit, upang tayo'y huwag mangamatay.
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.
At nakita ng Dios ang kanilang mga gawa, na sila'y nagsihiwalay sa kanilang masamang lakad; at nagsisi ang Dios sa kasamaan, na kaniyang sinabing kaniyang gagawin sa kanila; at hindi niya ginawa.
