Yunana 3
1 Sa’an nan sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Yunana sau na biyu.
And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 “Tafi babban birnin nan Ninebe, ka yi masa shelar saƙon da na ba ka.”
Arise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it the proclamation which I shall speak unto thee.
3 Sai Yunana ya yi biyayya da maganar Ubangiji, ya tafi Ninebe. Ninebe birni ne da yake da muhimmanci, wanda sai an ɗauki kwana uku kafin a iya zaga shi.
And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was a great city before God, a three days' journey.
4 A rana ta fari, Yunana ya kama tafiya yana ratsa birnin. Sai ya yi shela cewa, “Nan da kwana arba’in za a hallaka Ninebe?”
And Jonah began to go through the city one day's journey, and he called out, and said, Yet forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 Mutanen Ninebe kuwa suka gaskata Allah. Aka yi shela a yi azumi, sai dukansu daga babba har zuwa ƙaraminsu, suka sa tufafin makoki.
And the men of Nineveh believed in God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
6 Da saƙon Yunana ya kai kunnen sarkin Ninebe, sai ya tashi daga kujerar mulkinsa, ya tuɓe alkyabbarsa, ya sa rigar makoki, ya zauna cikin toka.
For when the matter was come unto the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, and put off his mantle from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat down on ashes.
7 Sai ya yi umarni a Ninebe cewa, “Bisa ga umarnin sarki da fadawansa. “Kada a bar wani mutum ko dabba, garke ko shannu, su ɗanɗana wani abu; kada a bari su ci ko su sha.
And he caused to be proclaimed and he published through Nineveh, By the decree of the king and his chief men, it is said, Neither man nor beast, neither herds nor flocks, shall taste any thing; they shall not feed, nor drink water;
8 Bari kowane mutum da dabba yă yafa rigunan makoki. Kowa yă roƙi Allah da gaske, kowa kuma yă bar mugayen ayyukan da yake yi.
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let [men] call unto God with might; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence which is in their hands.
9 Wa ya sani? Ko Allah zai ji tausayinmu da kuma juyayinmu yă janye zafin fushinsa don kada mu hallaka.”
Who knoweth, but God may turn and bethink himself, and turn away from the fierceness of his anger, that we perish not?
10 Da Allah ya ga abin da suka yi, da kuma yadda suka juya daga mugayen hanyoyinsu sai ya ji tausayinsu, bai kawo hallaka a kansu yadda ya yi shirin yi ba.
And God saw their works, that they had turned from their evil way: and God bethought himself of the evil, which he had spoken that he would do unto them, and he did it not.
