< Siona 3 >
1 Pea naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siona, ko hono liunga ua, ʻo pehē,
耶和華的話二次臨到約拿說:
2 “Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu ki Ninive, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, pea ke malangaʻaki ʻi ai ʻae lea te u fekau kiate koe.”
「你起來!往尼尼微大城去,向其中的居民宣告我所吩咐你的話。」
3 Ko ia ne tuʻu hake ai ʻa Siona, pea ne ʻalu ki Ninive, ʻo hangē ko e folofola mai ʻa Sihova. Pea ko Ninive ko e fuʻu kolo lahi ʻaupito ia, ʻo feʻunga mo e fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.
約拿便照耶和華的話起來,往尼尼微去。這尼尼微是極大的城,有三日的路程。
4 Pea naʻe kamata hū ʻa Siona ki he kolo ʻi he fononga ʻoe ʻaho ʻe taha, mo ʻene kalanga ʻo pehē, “ʻOku toe ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻa Ninive.”
約拿進城走了一日,宣告說:「再等四十日,尼尼微必傾覆了!」
5 Ko ia naʻe tui ai ʻae kakai ʻo Ninive ki he ʻOtua, pea fanongonongo ʻae ʻaukai, mo nau ai ʻae tauangaʻa, ʻo fai mei he kakai māʻolunga ʻo aʻu kiate ia naʻe siʻi hifo taha ʻiate kinautolu.
尼尼微人信服上帝,便宣告禁食,從最大的到至小的都穿麻衣。
6 He naʻe ʻomi hono fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻo Ninive, pea ne tuʻu hake ia mei hono nofoʻanga, ʻo ne toʻo hono kofu tōtōlofa mo ne kofuʻaki ʻe ia ʻae tauangaʻa, pea nofo ki lalo ʻi he efuefu.
這信息傳到尼尼微王的耳中,他就下了寶座,脫下朝服,披上麻布,坐在灰中。
7 Pea naʻa ne fekau ke fanongonongo mo fakahā ʻi Ninive, kuo fono ʻae tuʻi mo ʻene houʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa kamata ha meʻa ʻe ha taha pe ʻe ha manu, ʻe he tauhi, pe ʻe ha fanga manu: ʻoua naʻa nau kai pe te nau inu ha vai
他又使人遍告尼尼微通城,說:「王和大臣有令,人不可嘗甚麼,牲畜、牛羊不可吃草,也不可喝水。
8 Kae tuku ke kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa ʻe he tangata, pea mo e manu, pea tangi fakamanavahē ki he ʻOtua: ʻio, ke tafoki taki taha kotoa pē mei hono hala kovi, pea mei he fakamālohi ʻoku ʻi honau nima.
人與牲畜都當披上麻布;人要切切求告上帝。各人回頭離開所行的惡道,丟棄手中的強暴。
9 Ko hai ʻoku ʻilo, naʻa ʻe liliu, pea fakatomala ʻae ʻOtua mo ne fakatafoki atu ʻae kakaha ʻo hono houhau, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau ʻauha?”
或者上帝轉意後悔,不發烈怒,使我們不致滅亡,也未可知。」
10 Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua ki heʻenau ngāue, kuo nau tafoki mei honau hala kovi: pea naʻe liliu ʻae ʻOtua mei he kovi ʻaia naʻa ne pehē te ne fakahoko kiate kinautolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fai ia.
於是上帝察看他們的行為,見他們離開惡道,他就後悔,不把所說的災禍降與他們了。
