Jonas 3
1 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Jonas na ikalawa, na nagsasabi,
And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah a second time, saying,
2 Bumangon ka, pumaroon ka sa Ninive, sa malaking bayang yaon, at ipangaral mo ang pangaral na aking iniutos sa iyo.
“Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the proclamation that I am speaking to you”;
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 rises, and he goes to Nineveh, according to the word of YHWH. And Nineveh has been a great city before God, a journey of three days.
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 begins to go into the city—a journey of one day—and proclaims and says, “Yet forty days and Nineveh is overturned!”
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 believe in God, and proclaim a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least,
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.
seeing the word comes to the king of Nineveh, and he rises from his throne, and removes his honorable robe from off him, and spreads out sackcloth, and sits on the 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 cries and says in Nineveh by a decree of the king and his great ones, saying, “Man and beast, herd and flock—do not let them taste anything, do not let them feed, do not even let them 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.
and let man and beast cover themselves [with] sackcloth, and let them call to God mightily, and let them each turn back from his evil way, and from the violence that [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 knows? He turns back, and God has relented, and has turned back from the heat of His anger, and we do not perish.”
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 sees their works, that they have turned back from their evil way, and God relents of the evil that He spoke of doing to them, and He has not done [it].
