Jonah 3
1 The LORD’s word came to Jonah the second time, saying,
Anivei channa in Jonah kom’a Pathen thu ahung lhung kit tan,
2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you.”
“Kipatdohin lang khopi lentah Nineveh a chen lang akhopi mite kom’a keiman nang kom’a ka seipeh sa thuhi gasam phongtan atin, ahi.”
3 So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the LORD’s word. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey across.
Hiti chun Jonah akipat dohin Pakai thupeh dungjui in Nineveh langa achetan ahi. Nineveh hi khopi lentah ahin nithum lam kijot ahi.
4 Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”
Jonah chu akhopi sunga alut in nikhat lhingset ajot pan tan ahi. Hichea chun Jonah in, “Ni somli jou tengleh Neniveh khopi hi akup athalla kileh ding ahi!” tin asam phong tan ahi.
5 The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least.
Hichun Nineveh mipiten Pathen thupeh chu atahsanun aneo pen’a pat alen pen geijin an angolun khaodip pon akisilun alungkham na’u chu aphong doh tauvin ahi.
6 The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Nineveh lengpan Jonah thusei chu ajahdoh phat in alaltouna a konin ahung kum lhan alengpon loupi chu ahohlhan khaodip pon chu akisilin ahi.
7 He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
Hichun lengpa leh amilen amilal ten thupeh khat khopi sung pumpia aphongdoh un mihem hihen lang gancha ho hijong leh anneh twidon abollouhel ding ahi.
8 but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
Mihem hihen gancha hijong leh lunggim lunghem pum’a, Pathen a lunggil taha taona iman diu pumhatna natoh leh ithilse bol nauva konna ikihei mang ding’u ahi, tin a phongdoh tan ahi.
9 Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?”
Ijeh innem itileh, Pathen jengin jong alung hin heijin tin eisuhgimna diuva kon’a eihin dohsah jing theiju ahi, atiuvin ahi.
10 God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
Hitobang thil abol’u chu Pathenin amudoh a itobang taha thilse bolna a konna kihei manga kingai tom’a hiuvem ti amudoh phatin alung aheitan achunguva lhunsah dinga aseisa thilse chu abol datan ahi.
