Iona 3
1 A HIKI hou mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Iona, i mai la;
And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying:
2 E ku iluna, a hele i Nineva, i kela kulanakauhale nui, a e hai aku ia ia i ka olelo a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe.
'Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and make unto it the proclamation that I bid thee.'
3 A ku ae la o Iona, a hele aku i Nineva, e like me ka olelo a Iehova. A o Nineva he kulanakauhale nui loa ia, ekolu la o ka hele ana.
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey.
4 A hoomaka iho la o Iona e komo i ke kulanakauhale, hookahi la hele, a kahea aku ia, i aku la, Hookahi kanaha na la i koe, a e lukuia o Nineva.
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said: 'Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.'
5 A manaoio aku la na kanaka o Nineva i ke Akua, a hai aku i ka hookeai, a hookomo lakou i ke kapa inoino, mai ka mea nui o lakou a ka mea uuku o lakou.
And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 A hiki ka olelo i ke alii o Nineva, a ku ae la ia mai kona nohoalii ae, a waiho aku la i kona kapa alii mai ona aku la, a komo iho la i ke kapa inoino, a noho iho la ma ka lehu.
And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 A kena aku la ia e hai aku a e olelo aku iloko o Nineva ma ke kauoha a ke alii, a me kona poe alii, i aku la, Mai ai ke kanaka i kekahi mea, aole na holoholona, o ka poe bipi a me ka poe hipa: mai ai lakou, aole hoi e inu i ka wai:
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying: 'Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing; let them not feed, nor drink water;
8 A e houhiia na kanaka, a me na holoholona i ke kapa inoino, a kahea ikaika aku lakou i ke Akua: a e huli mai kela kanaka keia kanaka mai kona aoao hewa mai, a mai ka hana ino mai, ka mea maloko o ko lakou lima.
but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Owai ka mea e ike, e huli ae paha a e mihi ke Akua, a e huli ae, mai ka huhu o kona inaina mai, i luku ole ia kakou?
Who knoweth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?'
10 A ike mai ke Akua i ka lakou hana ana, ua huli lakou mai ko lakou aoao hewa mai; mihi iho la ke Akua no ke ina ana i olelo ai e hana mai ia lakou, aole ia i hana mai.
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, which He said He would do unto them; and He did it not.
