Jonah 3
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah a second time, saying,
Niheo am’ Ionà fañindroe’e ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
2 'Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it the proclamation that I am speaking unto thee;'
Miavota mb’e Ninevè, i rova jabajabay mb’eo, vaho tseizo ama’e ty saontsy hatoroko azo.
3 and Jonah riseth, and he goeth unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. And Nineveh hath been a great city before God, a journey of three days.
Aa le niongake t’Ionà, nañavelo mb’e Ninevè mb’eo ty amy tsara’ Iehovày. Rova jabajaba ty Ninevè kanao lia telo andro te rangàeñe.
4 And Jonah beginneth to go in to the city a journey of one day, and proclaimeth, and saith, 'Yet forty days — and Nineveh is overturned.'
Namototse naneñateña i rovay t’Ionà lia andro raike vaho nikoike ty hoe: Ie heneke ty efa-polo andro le ho rotsake t’i Ninevè.
5 And the men of Nineveh believe in God, and proclaim a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even unto their least,
Aa le niantok’ an’ Andrianañahare ondati’ i Ninevèo, le nitsey lilitse vaho nisikin-gony, ty loho bey pak’ an-tsitso’e.
6 seeing the word doth come unto the king of Nineveh, and he riseth from his throne, and removeth his honourable robe from off him, and spreadeth out sackcloth, and sitteth on the ashes,
Niheo amy mpanjaka’ i Ninevèy i tsaray, le niongake amy fiambesa’ey naho nahifi’e añe ty sarimbo’e naho nisaron-gony vaho nipisetse an-davenok’ ao.
7 and he crieth and saith in Nineveh by a decree of the king and his great ones, saying, 'Man and beast, herd and flock — let them not taste anything, let them not feed, even water let them not drink;
Nampitsitsife’e tsey ty Nineve ami’ty hoe: Ami’ty fandilia’ i mpanjakay naho o roandria’eo: Ehe ko apoke hitsopeke ndra inoñ’ inoñe ze ondaty ndra hare, ze mpirai-troke ndra lia-raike; ko meañe hihinañe ndra hinon-drano,
8 and cover themselves [with] sackcloth let man and beast, and let them call unto God mightily, and let them turn back each from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their hands.
le ampisaroñan-gony ondatio naho o hareo, sindre hipoña-toreo aman’ Añahare; songa hitolik’ amo sata rati’eo naho amo halò-tsere’e am-pità’eo.
9 Who knoweth? He doth turn back, and God hath repented, and hath turned back from the heat of His anger, and we do not perish.'
Ia ty hahafohiñe he hitolike t’i Andrianañahare naho hiheve, hiamboho amy haviñera’e miforoforoy, tsy hihomahan-tika?
10 And God seeth their works, that they have turned back from their evil way, and God repenteth of the evil that He spake of doing to them, and he hath not done [it].
Aa naho nahavazoho o fitoloña’ iareoo t’i Andrianañahare, t’ie niamboho amo sata rati’eo, le napo’e i hankàñe nitsarae’e ho nanoe’e am’ iereoy, vaho tsy nanoe’e.
