< Iona 3 >

1 A HIKI hou mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Iona, i mai la;
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah a 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.
'Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it the proclamation that I am speaking unto 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.
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.
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 beginneth to go in to the city a journey of one day, and proclaimeth, and saith, 'Yet forty days — and Nineveh is overturned.'
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 men of Nineveh believe in God, and proclaim a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even unto their least,
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.
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,
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 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;
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.
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.
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? He doth turn back, and God hath repented, and hath turned back from the heat of His anger, and we do not perish.'
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 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].
