Jonah 3
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
Bondye pale yon dezyèm fwa ankò ak Jonas,
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
li di l' konsa: -Leve non! Ale lavil Niniv, gwo kapital la. Fè yo konnen mesaj mwen te ba ou pou yo a.
3 And he arose Jonah and he went to Nineveh according to [the] word of Yahweh and Nineveh it was a city great to God a journey of three days.
Se konsa, Jonas leve, li ale lavil Niniv jan Seyè a te di l' la. Niniv te yon gwo lavil ki mande twa jou pou mache soti nan yon bout ale nan lòt bout la.
4 And he began Jonah to go in the city a journey of a day one and he proclaimed and he said yet forty day[s] and Nineveh [is] about to be overturned.
Jonas antre nan lavil la. Li fè yon jounen ap mache. Epi li pran pale ak moun yo. Li di yo konsa: -Nan karant jou lavil Niniv pral disparèt.
5 And they believed [the] people of Nineveh in God and they proclaimed a fast and they wore sackcloth from great their and unto insignificant their.
Moun lavil yo te kwè nan mesaj Bondye a. Yo bay lòd pou tout moun, malere kou grannèg, rete san manje, pou yo mete rad sak sou yo pou moutre jan yo nan lapenn pou tout mal yo te fè.
6 And it reached the word to [the] king of Nineveh and he arose from throne his and he took off cloak his from on him and he covered sackcloth and he sat on ash[es].
Nouvèl la rive nan zòrèy wa lavil Niniv la. Li leve sou fotèy li a, li wete bèl rad ki te sou li a, li mete rad sak sou li. Lèfini, li chita atè nan sann dife.
7 And he had a proclamation made and he said in Nineveh from [the] decree of the king and great [people] his saying the people and the livestock the cattle and the flock[s] may not they taste anything may not they graze and water may not they drink.
Li voye fè yon piblikasyon nan tout lavil la. Li di konsa: -Men lòd wa a ansanm ak lòt chèf li yo bay: Pesonn pa pou manje anyen. Ni moun, ni bèf, ni mouton, tout pou rete san manje san bwè.
8 And they may cover themselves sackcloth the people and the livestock and let them call out to God with strength and let them turn back everyone from way his evil and from the violence which [is] in palms their.
Tout moun va gen rad sak sou yo. Tout bèt va nan lapenn. Tout moun va lapriyè Bondye ak tout kè yo. Y'a kite tout move zak ak tout mechanste yo te konn fè nan lavi yo.
9 Who? [is] knowing he will turn and he will relent God and he will turn back from [the] burning of anger his and not we will perish.
Nou pa janm konnen, Bondye ka chanje lide. L'a règrèt sa li tapral fè a, li p'ap fache sou nou ankò. Konsa, nou p'ap mouri.
10 And he saw God deeds their that they turned back from way their evil and he relented God on the evil which he had said to do to them and not he did [it].
Bondye wè sa yo t'ap fè a. Li wè yo te soti pou yo chanje lavi yo vre. Se konsa li chanje lide. Li pa pini yo ankò jan li te di li tapral pini yo a.
