Yunus 3
1 Rəbbee Yunusuk'le q'ö'es inəxdun cuvab eyhe:
Then Yahweh said to Jonah again,
2 – Oza qıxha Nineva eyhene xənne şahareeqa hark'ın, Zı uvhuynbı maabınbışilqa hixhare'e.
“Go to that great city of Nineveh, and tell them the message that I gave you [previously].”
3 Rəbbee uvhuynçil k'ırı gyaqqı, Yunus Ninevalqa ayk'an. Nineva geeb xəbna şahar vuxha, mançe ılğeç'esdemee xhebılle yiğniyxhe ıkkiykanan.
So [this time] Jonah obeyed Yahweh, and he went to Nineveh. That city was so big that a person [had to walk] for three days to completely [go through] it.
4 Yunus giyğalna şaharvolle iykar. Ts'ettiyne yiğıl ı'qqəs əxənemene cigabışeeqa hark'ın, mang'vee eyhen: – Yoq'ts'alyne yiğıle Nineva kunfa-yakun haa'asda!
On the first day [after] Jonah [arrived], he [began walking] through the city. He was proclaiming (OR, At the end of that day he started proclaiming) to the people, “Forty days from now, Nineveh will be destroyed {[God] will destroy Nineveh}!”
5 Ninevağançenbışe Allahılqa inyam hı'ı, siv aqqeva ses qığayhe. Manbışe xərıng'ule otçu k'ıning'ulqamee palanbı alya'a.
The people of Nineveh believed God’s [message]. They [all] decided that everyone should begin (fasting/abstaining from food). So [everyone], including important people and unimportant people, [did that]. They [also] put on coarse cloth, [to show that they were sorry for having sinned].
6 Mana xabar Ninevayne paççahılqa hipxhırmee, mana cune taxtıle giç'u, paççahaaşin tanalinbı g'ayşu, palan alyı'ı yı'qqıl giy'ar.
The King of Nineveh heard [what the people were doing]. [So] he took off his royal robes, and [he also] put on coarse cloth. He left his palace, and sat down where there were [cold] ashes, [to show that he also was sorry for having sinned].
7 Paççahee əmr haa'a cuneyiy ağsaqqalaaşine doyule Nineval inəxüd eyhecenva: «İnsanaaşe, həyvanaaşe, çavra-vəq'əyn vuççud umoyxhancen, xhyanbı ulymoğacen, uxhiyxhanasıd hımayk'ancen.
Then he sent messengers to proclaim to [the people in] Nineveh: “My advisors and I have decreed that no one may eat or drink anything. Do not even allow your animals to eat or drink.
8 İnsanaaşilqa, həyvanaaşilqa palanbı ale'ecen. Gırgıng'vee Allahıs geeb düə he'e. Havaasre manbışe karaı'dəəne işbışikeyiy insanaaşis haa'ane pisvalike xıl ts'ıts'ee'ecen.
Instead, every person must put on coarse cloth. [Put coarse cloth on] your animals, [too]. Then everyone must pray fervently to God. And everyone must stop doing evil actions/things, and stop acting violently [toward others].
9 Şavuk'lene ats'a, Allahee sayıb şalqana qəl rəhı'mılqa savaak'alav'u, şi hapt'ıyke g'attivxhan haa'a».
Perhaps, [if everyone does that], God may change his mind and be merciful [to us], and stop being very angry with us, with the result that we will not die.”
10 Allahık'le manbı karaı'dəəne işbışile sapk'ıl g'avcumee, manbışilqa rəhı'm haa'a. Manbışilqa ablyaa'asva uvhuna ver, ablyaa'a deş.
When they [all did that], God saw what they were doing, and he saw that they had stopped doing evil things. So [he pitied them, and] he did not get rid of them as he had threatened to do.
