Jonah 3
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
Na ka puta tuarua mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hona, i mea ia,
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
Whakatika, haere ki Ninewe, ki taua pa nui, kauwhautia hoki ki reira te kauwhau e korerotia e ahau ki a koe.
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.
Na whakatika ana a Hona, haere ana ki Ninewe, pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai. Na he pa nui rawa a Ninewe, e toru nga ra e haerea ai.
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.
Na ka timata ta Hona haere ki roto ki te pa, kotahi te ra i haere ai, kei te karanga, kei te mea, Kia wha tekau ake nga ra, ka hurihia a Ninewe.
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.
A whakapono tonu nga tangata o Ninewe ki ta te Atua; karangatia ana e ratou he nohopuku, he taratara o ratou kakahu, o nga mea rarahi o ratou tae rawa iho ki nga mea ririki.
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].
Na ka tae he korero ki te kingi o Ninewe, a whakatika ana ia i runga i tona torona, whakarerea atu ana e ia tona koroka, kei te hipoki i a ia ki te kakahu taratara, noho ana i roto i te pungarehu.
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.
I meinga ano e ia kia karangatia te korero i roto i Ninewe, he mea whakatakoto na te kingi ratou ko ana metararahi, i mea ia, Kaua te tangata, te kararehe ranei, te kau ranei, te hipi ranei e pa ki tetahi aha: kaua ratou e kai, e inu wai ranei:
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.
Engari kia hipokina te tangata me te kararehe ki te kakahu taratara, kia kaha ano ta ratou karanga ki te Atua: ae ra, kia hoki ano nga tangata i tona ara kino, i tona ara kino, i te tutu ano o o ratou ringa.
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.
Ko wai ka tohu tera pea te Atua ka tahuri, a ka puta ke tona whakaaro, ka tahuri atu hoki i te muranga o tona riri, a e kore tatou e ngaro?
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].
A ka kite te Atua i a ratou mahi, kua tahuri atu ratou i to ratou ara kino; na ka puta ke te whakaaro o te Atua mo te kino i kiia e ia kia meatia ki a ratou; a kihai i meatia e ia.
