Jona 3
1 Ary tonga fanindroany tamin’ i Jona ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
2 Mitsangàna, ka mankanesa any Ninive, ilay tanàna lehibe; ary torio aminy ny teny izay lazaiko aminao.
Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
3 Dia nitsangana Jona ka nankany Ninive araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah. Ary Ninive dia tanàna lehibe teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra, dia lalana hateloana.
And he arose Jonah and he went to Nineveh according to [the] word of Yahweh and Nineveh it was a city great to God a journey of three days.
4 Ary Jona niantomboka nandeha tao an-tanàna lalana indray andro ka nitory hoe: Rehefa afaka efa-polo andro, dia horavana Ninive.
And he began Jonah to go in the city a journey of a day one and he proclaimed and he said yet forty day[s] and Nineveh [is] about to be overturned.
5 Dia nino an’ Andriamanitra ny mponina tao Ninive ka niantso fifadian-kanina sady nitafy lamba fisaonana hatramin’ ny lehibe ka hatramin’ ny kely.
And they believed [the] people of Nineveh in God and they proclaimed a fast and they wore sackcloth from great their and unto insignificant their.
6 Ary nony efa ren’ ny mpanjakan’ i Ninive izany, dia nitsangana niala tamin’ ny seza fiandrianany izy, ka nanaisotra ny akanjom-boninahiny, dia nisarona lamba fisaonana sady nipetraka tamin’ ny lavenona.
And it reached the word to [the] king of Nineveh and he arose from throne his and he took off cloak his from on him and he covered sackcloth and he sat on ash[es].
7 Ary nasaina nantsoina sy nambara eran’ i Ninive araka ny didin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka hoe: Aza avela hisy hanendry hanina akory, na olona, na biby fiompy; dia ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby; eny, aza avela hisy hihinana na hisotro rano akory ireo.
And he had a proclamation made and he said in Nineveh from [the] decree of the king and great [people] his saying the people and the livestock the cattle and the flock[s] may not they taste anything may not they graze and water may not they drink.
8 Fa aoka samy hisarona lamba fisaonana ny olona sy ny biby fiompy, ary aoka hitaraina mafy amin’ Andriamanitra izy, ary aoka samy hahafoy ny lalany ratsy sy ny fandozana eny an-tanany avy izy rehetra.
And they may cover themselves sackcloth the people and the livestock and let them call out to God with strength and let them turn back everyone from way his evil and from the violence which [is] in palms their.
9 Fa angamba hiverina ihany Andriamanitra ka hanenina ary hiala amin’ ny fahatezerany mirehitra, mba tsy ho lany ritra isika?
Who? [is] knowing he will turn and he will relent God and he will turn back from [the] burning of anger his and not we will perish.
10 Ary rehefa hitan’ Andriamanitra ny nataon’ ireo ny amin’ ny nialany tamin’ ny lalan-dratsiny, dia nanenina Izy ny amin’ ny loza izay nolazainy hamelezany azy, ka tsy nataony izany.
And he saw God deeds their that they turned back from way their evil and he relented God on the evil which he had said to do to them and not he did [it].
