Jonah 3
1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye ne obiro ni Jona mar ariyo kama:
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
“Dhiyo e dala maduongʼ mar Nineve, kendo iwachne jo-dalano weche mane anyisi.”
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.
Jona notimo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho modhiyo Nineve. To Nineve ne en dala maduongʼ kendo mogen ma limbene ne dwaro wuoth ndalo adek eka itiek iye duto.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
Chiengʼ mokwongo kane Jona osedonjo e dier dalano, nogoyo milome kowacho niya, “Odongʼ ndalo piero angʼwen kende to itieko Nineve duto.”
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Jo-Nineve, nolokore moyie kuom Nyasaye kendo negingʼado wach mondo ji duto otwe chiemo, kochakore jomadongo e diergi nyaka jomatindo duto, ka girwako pien gugru.
6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered [him] with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Kane wach ochopo ne ruodh Nineve, ne oa malo e kom duongʼ mare molonyo lepe mag loch mi norwako pien gugru nobet piny e buru.
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:
Eka ruoth gi jodonge nogolo chik e Nineve kawacho niya: “Kik dhano kata chiayo kata dhok bil gimoro, bende kik yienegi gichiem kata modho.
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their hands.
To we dhano kod le oumre gi pien gugru, ngʼato ka ngʼato oluong Nyasaye piyo piyo, to kendo giwe timbegi maricho ma achach.
9 Who can tell [if] God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
To en ngʼa mongʼeyo? Dipo ka mirimb Nyasaye odok chien, mi owe ich wangʼ kendo ongʼwon-nwa mi ok otiekowa.”
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Kane Nyasaye oneno gik mane gitimo ka giweyo timbegi maricho, nokechogi mi koro ne ok okelonigi masiche duto mane osewacho ni obiro kelo nigi.
