Jonah 3
1 LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Jonah.
And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying:
2 El fahk, “Fahla nu Nineveh, siti lulap sac, ac sulkakin nu sin mwet we pweng su nga fahkot nu sum.”
Arise, and go to Ninive the great city: and preach in it the preaching that I bid thee.
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.
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 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 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 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 men of Ninive believed in God: and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth 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 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 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 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 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 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 Sahp God El ac ekulla nunak lal. Sahp El ac tila kasrkusrak, ac kut fah tia misa!”
Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive: and will turn away from his fierce anger, and we shall not perish?
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 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.
