1 Ndele ondjovo yOmwene oye uya lutivali kuJona, ndele tai ti: 2 “Fikama, u ye kuNinive, oshilando shinene, ove u udife ko eudifo eli handi li ku lombwele.” 3 Opo Jona a fikama, ndele ta i kuNinive ngaashi a lombwelwa kOmwene. Ndele Ninive osha li oshilando shinene unene, otashi taululwa omafiku atatu. 4 Ndele Jona okwa ya moshilando ndele ta ende mo efiku limwe, ndele ta udifa, ta ti: “Omafiku omilongo ine aeke, opo Ninive tashi hanaunwa po!” 5 Ndele Ovaninive ova itavela Kalunga, va ingida efiku lelidiliko, ndele ovakulunhu nounona va djala eeshako. 6 Ndele ondaka eshi ya hanga ohamba yomuNinive, oyo ya fikama kolukalwapangelo layo, oye lidula oshikutu shayo, ndele ya djala oshako noya kala omutumba momute. 7 Ndele yo ya vilikilifila muNinive, ndele tai ti: “Ondaka yohamba noyomalenga ayo tai ti: paha kale nande omunhu ta li sha ile oshinamwenyo, eengobe ile eedi noikombo tai lifwa ile tai xwiilwa. 8 Ndelenee ovanhu noimuna nai dikwe eeshako, oyo nai ifane shili Kalunga, ndele keshe umwe na aluke kondjila yaye ii nokoulunde ou wa kanyatela momake aye. 9 Kashiimba Kalunga ota ka efa ehandu laye nokulidilulula, opo Ye te lialuluka kexwamo lehandu laye ndele fye itatu nyonauka.” 10 Ndele Kalunga okwa mona oilonga yavo, nokutya vo ova aluka kondjila yavo ii.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 ¶ So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10 ¶ And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
