Jonah 3
1 And the word of Jehovah came to Jonah the second time, saying,
Niheo am’ Ionà fañindroe’e ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to her the words which I shall speak to thee.
Miavota mb’e Ninevè, i rova jabajabay mb’eo, vaho tseizo ama’e ty saontsy hatoroko azo.
3 And Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was through God a great city, three days' journey in extent.
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 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.
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 And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even 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 when the matter came to the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, and put off his mantle and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat 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 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 anything; let them not feed, nor drink 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 be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God. Yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
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 turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, 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 saw their works, that they turned from their evil way: and God repented of the evil which he had said that he would do to 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.
