Jonah 3
1 Then Yahweh said to Jonah again,
Авэр моло сля лав РАЕСТАР Ионасти:
2 “Go to that great city of Nineveh, and tell them the message that I gave you [previously].”
— Вщи, джя ды Ниневия, баро форо, тай роспхэн ды лэ када, со Мэ пхэндом тути.
3 So [this time] Jonah obeyed Yahweh, and he went to Nineveh. That city was so big that a person [had to walk] for three days to completely [go through] it.
Иона вщиля тай джиля ды Ниневия, сар пхэнда лэсти РАЙ. Ниневия сля баро форо Дэвлэстэ, пэ трин дивэ тэ джя пэза.
4 On the first day [after] Jonah [arrived], he [began walking] through the city. He was proclaiming (OR, At the end of that day he started proclaiming) to the people, “Forty days from now, Nineveh will be destroyed {[God] will destroy Nineveh}!”
Иона заджиля ды форо и састо диво пхирэлас тай пхэнэлас: «Интэ саранда дивэ, и Ниневия хасявэла!»
5 The people of Nineveh believed God’s [message]. They [all] decided that everyone should begin (fasting/abstaining from food). So [everyone], including important people and unimportant people, [did that]. They [also] put on coarse cloth, [to show that they were sorry for having sinned].
Мануша ды Ниневия патиле Дэвлэсти тай отпхэндэпэ тэ ха и тэ пэ. Всаворэ — барвалэ и чёрорэ — урявдэпэ ды їда гонэндар.
6 The King of Nineveh heard [what the people were doing]. [So] he took off his royal robes, and [he also] put on coarse cloth. He left his palace, and sat down where there were [cold] ashes, [to show that he also was sorry for having sinned].
Кала кадыва лав доджиля ды тхагари, вов вщиля троностар, слиля барвали їда, урявдапэ ды їда гонэндар тай бэшля ды прахо.
7 Then he sent messengers to proclaim to [the people in] Nineveh: “My advisors and I have decreed that no one may eat or drink anything. Do not even allow your animals to eat or drink.
Вов прыакхарда барэ манушэн, тай вонэ пхэндэ всаворэнди ды Ниневия: «Мануша нисо тэ на хан, тэ на пэн пани. Тай хулаимо, гурува, бакрэ бузненца тэ на пхирэн пы мален и тэ на пэн пани.
8 Instead, every person must put on coarse cloth. [Put coarse cloth on] your animals, [too]. Then everyone must pray fervently to God. And everyone must stop doing evil actions/things, and stop acting violently [toward others].
Мануша тай хулаимо тэ авэн ушаравдэ ды похтан гонэндар тай зоралэс тэ типисявэн Дэвлэстэ. Соб кажно мануш отрисардапэ пэхкэрэндар мижэ дромэндар тай прохарицики рындонэндар.
9 Perhaps, [if everyone does that], God may change his mind and be merciful [to us], and stop being very angry with us, with the result that we will not die.”
Ко джянэл, на парувэла ли Дэвэл Пэхкиро гындо тай отрисарэла амэндар Пэхкири холи, тай амэ на хасяваґа».
10 When they [all did that], God saw what they were doing, and he saw that they had stopped doing evil things. So [he pitied them, and] he did not get rid of them as he had threatened to do.
Дэвэл удыкхля лэндирэ рындуря, со вонэ отрисардэпэ пэхкирэ мижэ дромэндар, и ачиля Лэсти дор лэн, тай на бичялда бида, сави камля тэ бичялэ.
