Jonas 3
1 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Jonas na ikalawa, na nagsasabi,
And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Bumangon ka, pumaroon ka sa Ninive, sa malaking bayang yaon, at ipangaral mo ang pangaral na aking iniutos sa iyo.
Arise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it the proclamation which I shall speak unto thee.
3 Sa gayo'y bumangon si Jonas, at naparoon sa Ninive, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon. Ang Ninive nga ay totoong malaking bayan, na tatlong araw na lakarin.
And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was a great city before God, a three days' journey.
4 At pumasok si Jonas sa bayan na may isang araw na gumagala, at siya'y sumigaw, at nagsasabi, Apat na pung araw pa at ang Ninive ay mawawasak.
And Jonah began to go through the city one day's journey, and he called out, and said, Yet forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 At ang bayan ng Ninive ay sumampalataya sa Dios; at sila'y nangaghayag ng ayuno, at nangagsuot ng kayong magaspang, mula sa kadakidakilaan sa kanila hanggang sa kaliitliitan sa kanila.
And the men of Nineveh believed in God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
6 At ang mga balita ay dumating sa hari sa Ninive, at siya'y tumindig sa kaniyang luklukan, at hinubad niya ang kaniyang balabal, at nagbalot siya ng kayong magaspang, at naupo sa mga abo.
For when the matter was come unto the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, and put off his mantle from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat down on ashes.
7 At kaniyang inihayag at itinanyag sa buong Ninive sa pasiya ng hari at ng kaniyang mga mahal na tao, na sinasabi, Huwag lumasa maging tao ni hayop man, bakahan ni kawan man, ng anomang bagay: huwag silang magsikain, ni magsiinom man ng tubig;
And he caused to be proclaimed and he published through Nineveh, By the decree of the king and his chief men, it is said, Neither man nor beast, neither herds nor flocks, shall taste any thing; they shall not feed, nor drink water;
8 Kundi mangagbalot sila ng kayong magaspang, ang tao at gayon din ang hayop, at magsidaing silang mainam sa Dios: oo, talikdan ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang masamang lakad, at ang pangdadahas na nasa kanilang mga kamay.
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let [men] call unto God with might; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence which is in their hands.
9 Sino ang nakaaalam kung manumbalik ang Dios at magsisisi, at hihiwalay sa kaniyang mabangis na galit, upang tayo'y huwag mangamatay.
Who knoweth, but God may turn and bethink himself, and turn away from the fierceness of his anger, that we perish not?
10 At nakita ng Dios ang kanilang mga gawa, na sila'y nagsihiwalay sa kanilang masamang lakad; at nagsisi ang Dios sa kasamaan, na kaniyang sinabing kaniyang gagawin sa kanila; at hindi niya ginawa.
And God saw their works, that they had turned from their evil way: and God bethought himself of the evil, which he had spoken that he would do unto them, and he did it not.
