< Jonah 3 >

1 The word of Jehovah came to Jonah the second time, saying,
A HIKI hou mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Iona, i mai la;
2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I give you."
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 to Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey across.
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 Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried out, 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 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 The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and took off his royal robe, covered himself 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 He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, "Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; 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 animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his 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 knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?"
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 God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
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.
