Jonah 3
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jonas pou yon dezyèm fwa. Li te di:
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
“Leve ale Ninive, gwo vil la e pwoklame a li menm tout pwoklamasyon ke Mwen va pale ou yo.”
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.
Konsa, Jonas te ale Ninive selon pawòl SENYÈ a. Alò, Ninive te tèlman yon gwo vil, li te pran twa jou ap mache pou travèse l.
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 te kòmanse travèse vil la pandan yon jou. Li te kriye fò e te di: “Nan karant jou, Ninive va detwi nèt.”
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.
Answit, pèp Ninive lan te kwè Bondye. Yo te deklare yon jèn e yo te mete twal sak soti nan pi gran pou rive nan pi piti pami yo.
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].
Lè pawòl la te rive kote wa Ninive lan, li te leve soti sou twòn li, e te mete manto wayal li sou kote. Li te kouvri tèt li ak twal sak e li te chita nan mitan sann.
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 te pibliye yon pwoklamasyon. Li te di: “Nan Ninive, pa dekrè wa a, ak prens li yo: Pa kite ni lòm, ni bèt, ni bann mouton, ni twoupo goute anyen. Pa kite yo ni manje ni bwè dlo.
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.
Men ni lòm ni bèt dwe vin kouvri ak twal sak. Konsa, kite yo rele Bondye avèk tout kè yo, pou tout moun kapab vire kite chemen mechan yo a, e vire kite vyolans ki nan men 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.
Kilès ki konnen, petèt Bondye va repanti, e ralanti sou gwo kòlè Li a pou nou pa peri.”
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].
Lè Bondye te wè zèv yo, ke yo te vire kite chemen mechan yo a, alò Bondye te repanti de gwo malè ke Li te deklare pou fè rive sou yo a. Epi Li pa t fè sa ankò.
