Jonas 3
1 Nangngeg ni Jonas ti sao ni Yahweh iti maikadua a gundaway, kinunana,
The LORD’s word came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 “Agrubbuatka, mapanka idiay Nineve, ti dakkel a siudad ket iwaragawagmo sadiay ti mensahe nga imbilinko kenka.”
“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you.”
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 to Nineveh, according to the LORD’s word. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey across.
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.”
Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “In forty days, Nineveh will 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.
The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least.
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.
The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself 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.
He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; 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 them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
9 Siasino ti makaammo? Mabalin a maasi ti Dios ket baliwanna ti pangeddengna ket saanen nga agpungtot tapno saantayo a matay.”
Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?”
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.
God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn’t do it.
