Jonah 3
1 LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Jonah.
And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah 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, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and make unto it the proclamation 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.
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding 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 Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said: 'Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.'
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 believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
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 tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him 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 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 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.
but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Sahp God El ac ekulla nunak lal. Sahp El ac tila kasrkusrak, ac kut fah tia misa!”
Who knoweth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?'
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 turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, which He said He would do unto them; and He did it not.
