Iona 3
1 A HIKI hou mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Iona, i mai la;
This message from the Lord came to Jonah the second time,
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 to that great city, Nineveh, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.”
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 started for Nineveh, as the Lord commanded. Now Nineveh was so large a city that it took three days’ journey to cross it.
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.
Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, and he proclaimed, “Forty days more 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 ordered a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest 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 when word came to the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his robe, dressed in 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 made this proclamation and published it in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: People, beast, herd, and flock shall not taste anything; let them not eat 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.
Let both people and animals put on sackcloth and let them cry earnestly to God; let them each turn from their evil ways and from the deeds of violence which they are doing.
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 knows? God may relent and avert his fierce anger, so that we may not die.”
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.
When God saw that they turned from their evil course, he relented the evil which he said he would do to them, and did not do it.
