Jonah 3
1 LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Jonah.
And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,
2 El fahk, “Fahla nu Nineveh, siti lulap sac, ac sulkakin nu sin mwet we pweng su nga fahkot nu sum.”
Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and give it the word which I have given you.
3 Ouinge Jonah el akos LEUM GOD ac som nu Nineveh, sie siti yoklana, su enenu mwet se in fahsr len tolu in sasla kac.
So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh as the Lord had said. Now Nineveh was a very great town, three days' journey from end to end.
4 Jonah el utyak nu in siti sac, ac tukun el fahsr len fon se el sulkakin pweng sac ac fahk, “Len angngaul na lula, na Nineveh ac fah kanausyukla!”
And Jonah first of all went a day's journey into the town, and crying out said, In forty days destruction will overtake Nineveh.
5 Mwet Nineveh elos lulalfongi ma God El fahk inge. Ouinge elos wotela mu mwet nukewa in lalo, na mwet fulat nwe ke mwet srisrik nukewa nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa in akkalemye lah elos auliyak.
And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.
6 Ke tokosra lun Nineveh el lohngak, el tuyak liki tron lal, sarukla nuknuk in tokosra lal, nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac pituki fin apat uh.
And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.
7 El supwalik sie sap nu sin mwet Nineveh, su fahk: “Sap soko sin tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal pa inge: Wangin mwet, ku cow, ku sheep, fah kang ku nim kutena ma.
And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:
8 Mwet nukewa enenu in nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac ma orakrak nukewa enenu in afyufi ke nuknuk yohk eoa. Mwet nukewa enenu in pre akoaruye nu sin God, ac sisla ouiya sulallal ac orekma koluk lalos.
And let man and beast be covered with haircloth, and let them make strong prayers to God: and let everyone be turned from his evil way and the violent acts of their hands.
9 Sahp God El ac ekulla nunak lal. Sahp El ac tila kasrkusrak, ac kut fah tia misa!”
Who may say that God will not be turned, changing his purpose and turning away from his burning wrath, so that destruction may not overtake us?
10 God El liye ma elos oru. El liye lah elos sisla ouiya koluk lalos. Ouinge El ekulla nunak lal ac tia sang kai nu selos, oana El tuh fahk mu El ac oru.
And God saw what they did, how they were turned from their evil way; and God's purpose was changed as to the evil which he said he would do to them, and he did it not.
