Jonah 3
1 Then Yahweh said to Jonah again,
Rəbbee Yunusuk'le q'ö'es inəxdun cuvab eyhe:
2 “Go to that great city of Nineveh, and tell them the message that I gave you [previously].”
– Oza qıxha Nineva eyhene xənne şahareeqa hark'ın, Zı uvhuynbı maabınbışilqa hixhare'e.
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.
Rəbbee uvhuynçil k'ırı gyaqqı, Yunus Ninevalqa ayk'an. Nineva geeb xəbna şahar vuxha, mançe ılğeç'esdemee xhebılle yiğniyxhe ıkkiykanan.
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}!”
Yunus giyğalna şaharvolle iykar. Ts'ettiyne yiğıl ı'qqəs əxənemene cigabışeeqa hark'ın, mang'vee eyhen: – Yoq'ts'alyne yiğıle Nineva kunfa-yakun haa'asda!
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].
Ninevağançenbışe Allahılqa inyam hı'ı, siv aqqeva ses qığayhe. Manbışe xərıng'ule otçu k'ıning'ulqamee palanbı alya'a.
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].
Mana xabar Ninevayne paççahılqa hipxhırmee, mana cune taxtıle giç'u, paççahaaşin tanalinbı g'ayşu, palan alyı'ı yı'qqıl giy'ar.
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.
Paççahee əmr haa'a cuneyiy ağsaqqalaaşine doyule Nineval inəxüd eyhecenva: «İnsanaaşe, həyvanaaşe, çavra-vəq'əyn vuççud umoyxhancen, xhyanbı ulymoğacen, uxhiyxhanasıd hımayk'ancen.
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].
İnsanaaşilqa, həyvanaaşilqa palanbı ale'ecen. Gırgıng'vee Allahıs geeb düə he'e. Havaasre manbışe karaı'dəəne işbışikeyiy insanaaşis haa'ane pisvalike xıl ts'ıts'ee'ecen.
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.”
Şavuk'lene ats'a, Allahee sayıb şalqana qəl rəhı'mılqa savaak'alav'u, şi hapt'ıyke g'attivxhan haa'a».
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.
Allahık'le manbı karaı'dəəne işbışile sapk'ıl g'avcumee, manbışilqa rəhı'm haa'a. Manbışilqa ablyaa'asva uvhuna ver, ablyaa'a deş.
