Jonah 3
1 And the word of the Lord was maad the secounde tyme to Jonas, and seide, Rise thou,
Pea naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siona, ko hono liunga ua, ʻo pehē,
2 and go in to Nynyue, the greet citee, and preche thou in it the prechyng which Y speke to thee.
“Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu ki Ninive, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, pea ke malangaʻaki ʻi ai ʻae lea te u fekau kiate koe.”
3 And Jonas roos, and wente in to Nynyue, bi the word of the Lord. And Nynyue was a greet citee, of the iurnei of thre daies.
Ko ia ne tuʻu hake ai ʻa Siona, pea ne ʻalu ki Ninive, ʻo hangē ko e folofola mai ʻa Sihova. Pea ko Ninive ko e fuʻu kolo lahi ʻaupito ia, ʻo feʻunga mo e fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.
4 And Jonas bigan for to entre in to the citee, bi the iornei of o dai, and criede, and seide, Yit fourti daies, and Nynyue schal be `turned vpsodoun.
Pea naʻe kamata hū ʻa Siona ki he kolo ʻi he fononga ʻoe ʻaho ʻe taha, mo ʻene kalanga ʻo pehē, “ʻOku toe ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻa Ninive.”
5 And men of Nynyue bileueden to the Lord, and prechiden fastyng, and weren clothid with sackis, fro the more `til to the lesse.
Ko ia naʻe tui ai ʻae kakai ʻo Ninive ki he ʻOtua, pea fanongonongo ʻae ʻaukai, mo nau ai ʻae tauangaʻa, ʻo fai mei he kakai māʻolunga ʻo aʻu kiate ia naʻe siʻi hifo taha ʻiate kinautolu.
6 And the word cam til to the kyng of Nynyue; and he roos of his seete, and castide awei his clothing fro him, and was clothid with a sak, and sat in aische.
He naʻe ʻomi hono fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻo Ninive, pea ne tuʻu hake ia mei hono nofoʻanga, ʻo ne toʻo hono kofu tōtōlofa mo ne kofuʻaki ʻe ia ʻae tauangaʻa, pea nofo ki lalo ʻi he efuefu.
7 And he criede, and seide in Nynyue of the mouth of the kyng and of `his princis, `and seide, Men, and werk beestis, and oxun, and scheep taaste not ony thing, nether be fed, nether drynke watir.
Pea naʻa ne fekau ke fanongonongo mo fakahā ʻi Ninive, kuo fono ʻae tuʻi mo ʻene houʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa kamata ha meʻa ʻe ha taha pe ʻe ha manu, ʻe he tauhi, pe ʻe ha fanga manu: ʻoua naʻa nau kai pe te nau inu ha vai
8 And men be hilid with sackis, and werk beestis crie to the Lord in strengthe; `and be a man conuertid fro his yuel weie, and fro wickidnesse that is in the hondis of hem.
Kae tuku ke kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa ʻe he tangata, pea mo e manu, pea tangi fakamanavahē ki he ʻOtua: ʻio, ke tafoki taki taha kotoa pē mei hono hala kovi, pea mei he fakamālohi ʻoku ʻi honau nima.
9 Who woot, if God be conuertid, and foryyue, and be turned ayen fro woodnesse of his wraththe, and we schulen not perische?
Ko hai ʻoku ʻilo, naʻa ʻe liliu, pea fakatomala ʻae ʻOtua mo ne fakatafoki atu ʻae kakaha ʻo hono houhau, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau ʻauha?”
10 And God sai the werkis of hem, that thei weren conuertid fro her yuel weie; and God hadde merci on the malice which he spac, that he schulde do to hem, and did not.
Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua ki heʻenau ngāue, kuo nau tafoki mei honau hala kovi: pea naʻe liliu ʻae ʻOtua mei he kovi ʻaia naʻa ne pehē te ne fakahoko kiate kinautolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fai ia.
