Юнус 3
1 Пәрвәрдигарниң сөзи иккинчи қетим Юнусқа йетип мундақ дейилди: —
Then Yahweh said to Jonah again,
2 «Орнуңдин тур, Нинәвә дегән әшу бүйүк шәһәргә берип, Мән саңа тапшурған хәвәрни уларға җакала».
“Go to that great city of Nineveh, and tell them the message that I gave you [previously].”
3 Юнус орнидин туруп Пәрвәрдигарниң сөзи бойичә Нинәвә шәһиригә барди. Нинәвә болса наһайити бүйүк бир шәһәр болуп, шәһәрниң өзила үч күнлүк йол еди.
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 Юнус шәһәр ичигә кирип бир күн маңди, у: — Қириқ күндин кейин, Нинәвә шәһири вәйран қилиниду! — дәп җакалиди.
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 Нинәвәдикиләр Худаниң сөзигә ишәнди. Улар роза тутулсун дәп елан қилип, мөтивәрләрдин тартип әң кичигигичә уларниң һәммиси бөз кийим кийди.
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 Бу сөз падишаға йәткәндә, уму тәхтидин туруп, тонини ташлап бөз кийим кийип күллүккә кирип олтарди.
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 У йәнә әмри арқилиқ пүткүл Нинәвә шәһиригә мунуларни җакалиди: — «Падиша һәм ақсүнәкләрниң ярлиғи бойичә, Нинәвә шәһиридики һеч қандақ адәм, ат-улақ, кала, қой падилири һеч нәрсигә еғиз тәгмисун; һеч нәрсини йемисун, суму ичмисун.
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 Һәр бир адәм вә һайван бөз кийсун, һәр бири Худаға қаттиқ пәряд көтәрсун; һәр бири яман йолдин янсун, һәр бири қолини зораванлиқтин үзсун;
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 ким билиду, буниң билән Худа қаттиқ ғәзивидин йенип бизни һалак қилмасмекин?».
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 Шуниң билән Худа уларниң әмәллирини, йәни яман йоллардин янғанлиғини көрүп, уларға қаратқан балайиқазани чүшүрүштин йенип, шу балияқазани чүшүрмиди.
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.
