< Yunus 3 >
1 Pǝrwǝrdigarning sɵzi ikkinqi ⱪetim Yunusⱪa yetip mundaⱪ deyildi: —
Then Yahweh said to Jonah again,
2 «Ornungdin tur, Ninǝwǝ degǝn axu büyük xǝⱨǝrgǝ berip, Mǝn sanga tapxurƣan hǝwǝrni ularƣa jakarla».
“Go to that great city of Nineveh, and tell them the message that I gave you [previously].”
3 Yunus ornidin turup Pǝrwǝrdigarning sɵzi boyiqǝ Ninǝwǝ xǝⱨirigǝ bardi. Ninǝwǝ bolsa naⱨayiti büyük bir xǝⱨǝr bolup, xǝⱨǝrning ɵzila üq künlük yol idi.
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 xǝⱨǝr iqigǝ kirip bir kün mangdi, u: — Ⱪiriⱪ kündin keyin, Ninǝwǝ xǝⱨiri wǝyran ⱪilinidu! — dǝp jakarlidi.
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 Ninǝwǝdikilǝr Hudaning sɵzigǝ ixǝndi. Ular roza tutulsun dǝp elan ⱪilip, mɵtiwǝrlǝrdin tartip ǝng kiqikigiqǝ ularning ⱨǝmmisi bɵz kiyim kiydi.
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 Bu sɵz padixaⱨⱪa yǝtkǝndǝ, umu tǝhtidin turup, tonini taxlap bɵz kiyim kiyip küllükkǝ kirip olturdi.
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 U yǝnǝ ǝmri arⱪiliⱪ pütkül Ninǝwǝ xǝⱨirigǝ munularni jakarlidi: — «Padixaⱨ ⱨǝm aⱪsɵngǝklǝrning yarliⱪi boyiqǝ, Ninǝwǝ xǝⱨiridiki ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ adǝm, at-ulaƣ, kala, ⱪoy padiliri ⱨeqnǝrsigǝ eƣiz tǝgmisun; ⱨeqnǝrsini yemisun, sumu iqmisun.
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 Ⱨǝrbir adǝm wǝ ⱨaywan bɵz kiysun, ⱨǝrbiri Hudaƣa ⱪattiⱪ pǝryad kɵtürsun; ⱨǝrbiri yaman yoldin yansun, ⱨǝrbiri ⱪolini zorawanliⱪtin üzsun;
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 kim bilidu, buning bilǝn Huda ⱪattiⱪ ƣǝzipidin yenip bizni ⱨalak ⱪilmasmikin?».
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 Xuning bilǝn Huda ularning ǝmǝllirini, yǝni yaman yollardin yanƣanliⱪini kɵrüp, ularƣa ⱪaratⱪan bala-ⱪazani qüxürüxtin yenip, xu baliyaⱪazani qüxürmidi.
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.
