1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Jona wá nígbà kejì wí pé:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
2 “Dìde lọ sí Ninefe, ìlú ńlá a nì, kí o sì kéde sí i, ìkéde tí mo sọ fún ọ.”
Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
3 Jona sì dìde ó lọ sí Ninefe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa. Ninefe jẹ́ ìlú títóbi gidigidi, ó tó ìrìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.
And he arose Jonah and he went to Nineveh according to [the] word of Yahweh and Nineveh it was a city great to God a journey of three days.
4 Jona sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí wọ ìlú náà lọ ní ìrìn ọjọ́ kan, ó sì ń kéde, ó sì wí pé, “Níwọ́n ogójì ọjọ́ sí i, a ó bi Ninefe wó.”
And he began Jonah to go in the city a journey of a day one and he proclaimed and he said yet forty day[s] and Nineveh [is] about to be overturned.
5 Àwọn ènìyàn Ninefe sì gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́. Wọ́n sì kéde àwẹ̀, gbogbo wọ́n sì wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti orí ọmọdé títí dé orí àgbà wọn.
And they believed [the] people of Nineveh in God and they proclaimed a fast and they wore sackcloth from great their and unto insignificant their.
6 Ọ̀rọ̀ náà sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ ọba Ninefe, ó sì dìde kúrò lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì bọ́ aṣọ ìgúnwà rẹ̀ kúrò lára rẹ̀, ó sì da aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ bora, ó sì jókòó nínú eérú.
And it reached the word to [the] king of Nineveh and he arose from throne his and he took off cloak his from on him and he covered sackcloth and he sat on ash[es].
7 Nígbà náà ní ó kéde rẹ̀ ni Ninefe pé, “Kí a la Ninefe já nípa àṣẹ ọba, àti àwọn àgbàgbà rẹ̀ pé: “Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ènìyàn, tàbí ẹranko, ọ̀wọ́ ẹran tàbí agbo ẹran, tọ́ ohunkóhun wò, má jẹ́ kí wọn jẹ tàbí mu omi.
And he had a proclamation made and he said in Nineveh from [the] decree of the king and great [people] his saying the people and the livestock the cattle and the flock[s] may not they taste anything may not they graze and water may not they drink.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí ènìyàn àti ẹranko da aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ bo ara, kí wọn sì kígbe kíkan sí Ọlọ́run, sì jẹ́ kí wọn yípadà, olúkúlùkù kúrò ní ọ̀nà ibi rẹ̀ àti kúrò ní ìwà ìpa tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ wọn.
And they may cover themselves sackcloth the people and the livestock and let them call out to God with strength and let them turn back everyone from way his evil and from the violence which [is] in palms their.
9 Ta ni ó lè mọ̀ bí Ọlọ́run yóò yípadà kí ó sì ronúpìwàdà, kí ó sì yípadà kúrò ní ìbínú gbígbóná rẹ̀, kí àwa má ṣègbé?”
Who? [is] knowing he will turn and he will relent God and he will turn back from [the] burning of anger his and not we will perish.
10 Ọlọ́run sì rí ìṣe wọn pé wọ́n yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀nà ibi wọn, Ọlọ́run sì ronúpìwàdà ibi tí òun ti wí pé òun yóò ṣe sí wọn, òun kò sì ṣe e mọ́.
And he saw God deeds their that they turned back from way their evil and he relented God on the evil which he had said to do to them and not he did [it].
