Jonah 3
1 Then Yahweh said to Jonah again,
Perwerdigarning sözi ikkinchi qétim Yunusqa yétip mundaq déyildi: —
2 “Go to that great city of Nineveh, and tell them the message that I gave you [previously].”
«Ornungdin tur, Ninewe dégen ashu büyük sheherge bérip, Men sanga tapshurghan xewerni ulargha jakarla».
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.
Yunus ornidin turup Perwerdigarning sözi boyiche Ninewe shehirige bardi. Ninewe bolsa nahayiti büyük bir sheher bolup, sheherning özila üch künlük yol idi.
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 sheher ichige kirip bir kün mangdi, u: — Qiriq kündin kéyin, Ninewe shehiri weyran qilinidu! — dep jakarlidi.
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].
Ninewedikiler Xudaning sözige ishendi. Ular roza tutulsun dep élan qilip, mötiwerlerdin tartip eng kichikigiche ularning hemmisi böz kiyim kiydi.
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].
Bu söz padishahqa yetkende, umu textidin turup, tonini tashlap böz kiyim kiyip küllükke kirip olturdi.
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.
U yene emri arqiliq pütkül Ninewe shehirige munularni jakarlidi: — «Padishah hem aqsöngeklerning yarliqi boyiche, Ninewe shehiridiki héchqandaq adem, at-ulagh, kala, qoy padiliri héchnersige éghiz tegmisun; héchnersini yémisun, sumu ichmisun.
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].
Herbir adem we haywan böz kiysun, herbiri Xudagha qattiq peryad kötürsun; herbiri yaman yoldin yansun, herbiri qolini zorawanliqtin üzsun;
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.”
kim bilidu, buning bilen Xuda qattiq ghezipidin yénip bizni halak qilmasmikin?».
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.
Shuning bilen Xuda ularning emellirini, yeni yaman yollardin yan’ghanliqini körüp, ulargha qaratqan bala-qazani chüshürüshtin yénip, shu baliyaqazani chüshürmidi.
