< Jona 3 >
1 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a mago'ene Jonana anage huno asami'ne,
And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying:
2 Mensintfa otinka, tusi'a kumate Ninive vunka, Nagrama kasmisua nanekea vahera ome zamasamio.
Arise, and go to Ninive the great city: and preach in it the preaching that I bid thee.
3 Anage higeno, Jona'a otino Ra Anumzamo'ma asamia kante anteno Ninive vu'ne. Ninive kumara tusi'a ranku'ma me'negeno ana kumapina tagufa zagegna rukitagi'za mago atuparega kana nevaze.
And Jonas arose, and went to Ninive, according to the word of the Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days’ journey.
4 Jona'a ana kumapi agafa huno, magoke zagegnafi vuno, agra kezatino anage hu'ne, 40'a zagegna evanigeno Ninive kumamo'a haviza hugahie.
And Jonas began to enter into the city one day’s journey: and he cried, and said: Yet forty days, and Ninive shall be destroyed.
5 Anante Ninive vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kere zamentinti nehu'za, zamagra ne'zana a'o nehu'za, ranteti vuno osite'ma vu'nea vahe'mo'za zamasunku kukena (sek klos) eri hankre'naze. (Mat 12:41, Luk 11:31-32.)
And the men of Ninive believed in God: and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least.
6 Ana nanekemo'ma Ninive kini nete'ma uhanatigeno'a, kini tratetira otiazamo, kini kukena'a atova hutreno, asunku kukena erino antaniteno, ta'nefapi mani'ne.
And the word came to the king of Ninive; and he rose up out of his throne, and cast away his robe from him, and was clothed with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 Anante kinine, kagota eri'za naga'ane amage'ma antesaza naneke atrageno ran kumapi vahe'zagare vuno eno higeno, kinimo'a huno magore hunka kagro, zagagafaka'a, atregeno ne'zane, tinena one'tfa hino, huno hu'ne.
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published in Ninive from the mouth of the king and of his princes, saying: Let neither men nor beasts, oxen nor sheep, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water.
8 Mago mago'moka kasunku kenage eri nehunka, hagi ana zanke hunka zagagafaka'a asunku kukena eri hunto. Kagranena Anumzantega kagu'areti hunka nunamuna nehunka, kumi hu'zane, ha' fra huno vahe azeri haviza hu'zana atreho.
And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and cry to the Lord with all their strength, and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands.
9 Ontahi'none, Anumzamo'a nentahino asuragi ranteno Agra'a rimpa ahe'zana atresigeta ofri manigahune.
Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive: and will turn away from his fierce anger, and we shall not perish?
10 Kefo avu'ava zama nehaza zama atre'za zamagu'a rukrahe hazageno, Anumzamo'a negeno, Agra asunku huzmanteno zamahe frigahuema hia agu'agesa atre'ne.
And God saw their works, that they were turned from their evil way: and God had mercy with regard to the evil which he had said that he would do to them, and he did it not.
