UJona 3
1 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJona ngokwesibili, lisithi:
and to be word LORD to(wards) Jonah second to/for to say
2 Sukuma, uye eNineve, lowana umuzi omkhulu, utshumayele kuwo intshumayelo engikutshela yona.
to arise: rise to go: went to(wards) Nineveh [the] city [the] great: large and to call: call out to(wards) her [obj] [the] proclamation which I to speak: speak to(wards) you
3 UJona wasesukuma, waya eNineve, njengokwelizwi leNkosi. Phela iNineve yayingumuzi omkhulu kakhulu, uhambo lwezinsuku ezintathu.
and to arise: rise Jonah and to go: went to(wards) Nineveh like/as word LORD and Nineveh to be city great: large to/for God journey three day
4 UJona waseqala ukungena emzini, uhambo losuku olulodwa. Wamemeza, wathi: Kusesezinsuku ezingamatshumi amane, khona iNineve izagenqulwa.
and to profane/begin: begin Jonah to/for to come (in): come in/on/with city journey day one and to call: call out and to say still forty day and Nineveh to overturn
5 Abantu beNineve basebekholwa kuNkulunkulu, bamemezela ukuzila ukudla, bagqoka amasaka, kusukela komkhulu wabo kwaze kwaba komncinyane wabo.
and be faithful human Nineveh in/on/with God and to call: call to fast and to clothe sackcloth from great: large their and till small their
6 Ngoba ilizwi lafinyelela enkosini yeNineve; yasisukuma esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi, yakhulula isembatho sayo kuyo, yazimbomboza ngesaka, yahlala emlotheni.
and to touch [the] word to(wards) king Nineveh and to arise: rise from throne his and to pass: bring clothing his from upon him and to cover sackcloth and to dwell upon [the] ashes
7 Yasimemezela yathi kuyo iNineve ngomthetho wenkosi labakhulu bayo, isithi: Kakungabi lomuntu, kumbe inyamazana, inkomo kumbe imvu, okuzanambitha loba yini; kakungadli, kakunganathi amanzi.
and to cry out and to say in/on/with Nineveh from taste [the] king and great: large his to/for to say [the] man and [the] animal [the] cattle and [the] flock not to perceive anything not to pasture and water not to drink
8 Kodwa kakuthi umuntu lenyamazana kwembeswe amasaka, bakhale kuNkulunkulu ngamandla, yebo, baphenduke, ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi, lodlakeleni olusezandleni zabo.
and to cover sackcloth [the] man and [the] animal and to call: call to to(wards) God in/on/with force and to return: repent man: anyone from way: conduct his [the] distress: evil and from [the] violence which in/on/with palm their
9 Ngubani owaziyo, uNkulunkulu angaphenduka azisole, aphenduke asuke kukuvutha kolaka lwakhe, ukuze singabhubhi.
who? to know to return: repent and to be sorry: relent [the] God and to return: repent from burning anger face: anger his and not to perish
10 UNkulunkulu wasebona imisebenzi yabo, ukuthi baphendukile endleleni yabo embi; uNkulunkulu wazisola ngobubi ayethe uzabenza kubo, akaze abenza.
and to see: see [the] God [obj] deed their for to return: repent from way: conduct their [the] distress: evil and to be sorry: relent [the] God upon [the] distress: harm which to speak: speak to/for to make: do to/for them and not to make: do
