Jonas 3
1 Nangngeg ni Jonas ti sao ni Yahweh iti maikadua a gundaway, kinunana,
And the word of Yhwh came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 “Agrubbuatka, mapanka idiay Nineve, ti dakkel a siudad ket iwaragawagmo sadiay ti mensahe nga imbilinko kenka.”
Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
3 Nagrubbuat ngarud ni Jonas ket napan idiay Nineve kas panagtulnog iti sao ni Yahweh. Ita, ti Nineve ket nalawa unay a siudad, maysa a lugar a daliasaten iti tallo nga aldaw.
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Yhwh. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey.
4 Rinugian ni Jonas a serreken ti siudad ket kalpasan ti maysa nga aldaw a pannagnana, nagpukkaw ket kinunana, “Uppat a pulo nga aldaw manipud ita, madadaelto ti Nineve.”
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 Namati iti Dios dagiti tattao ti Nineve ket inwaragawagda ti panagayunar. Nagkawesda amin iti nakersang a lupot, manipud iti katatan-okan agingga iti kanunumoan kadakuada.
So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 Nakadanon a dagus ti damag iti ari ti Nineve. Timmakder isuna iti tronona, inussobna ti pagan-anayna, nagkawes iti nakersang a lupot ket nagtugaw iti dapo.
For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 Nangiwaragawag isuna iti pakaammo a nagkuna, “Babaen iti turay ti ari ken dagiti opisialna iti Nineve, awan kadagiti tattao wenno ayup, wenno kadagiti taraken ti mangraman iti aniaman a banag ditoy Nineve. Saanyo ida a palubosan a mangan wenno uminom ti danum.
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 Ngem masapul nga agabbong iti nakersang a lupot dagiti tao ken ayup ket masapul nga ipukkawda ti umawag iti Dios. Masapul a tallikudan ti tunggal maysa ti dakes a kababalinna ken ti kinaranggas dagiti imana.
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Siasino ti makaammo? Mabalin a maasi ti Dios ket baliwanna ti pangeddengna ket saanen nga agpungtot tapno saantayo a matay.”
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10 Nakita ti Dios ti inaramidda, a tinallikodanda dagiti dakes a kababalinda. Isu a binaliwan ti Dios ti pangngeddengna maipanggep iti panangdusa nga imbagana nga aramidenna kadakuada ket saannan nga inaramid daytoy.
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
