1 H addana mar labaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Yoonis oo ku yidhi,

The Word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,

2 K ac, oo waxaad tagtaa magaaladaas weyn oo Nineweh, oo waxaad iyada ku wacdidaa wacdiska aan kuu sheegayo,

“Get up and go to the large city of Nineveh, and tell the people there the news which I am going to tell you.”

3 S idaas daraaddeed Yoonis wuu kacay oo wuxuu tegey Nineweh siduu eraygii Rabbigu ku amray. Haddaba Nineweh waxay ahayd magaalo aad iyo aad u weyn, oo waxay isu jirtay intii saddex maalmood loo socdo.

So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh, as the Lord had told him. Now Nineveh was a very large city. It took three days to walk through it.

4 M arkaasaa Yoonis wuxuu bilaabay inuu magaaladii dhex galo in maalin socod ah, oo intuu qayliyey ayuu yidhi, Weli waxaa u hadhay afartan maalmood, dabadeedna Nineweh waa la afgembiyi doonaa.

Jonah started into the city, for a day’s walk, and he cried out, “In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!”

5 M arkaasaa dadkii Nineweh Ilaah rumaysteen, oo waxay ku dhawaaqeen in la soomo, oo kii ugu wada weynaa ilaa kii ugu yaraa inta ka dhex leh waxay wada xidheen dhar joonyad ah.

Then the people of Nineveh believed in God. They called for a time when no food was to be eaten. And all the people, from the greatest to the least, put on clothes made from hair.

6 O o warkiina wuxuu gaadhay boqorkii Nineweh, oo isna intuu carshigiisii ka kacay ayuu dharkiisii quruxdasanaa iska bixiyey, oo wuxuu huwaday dhar joonyad ah, dambasna wuu ku fadhiistay.

When the news came to the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne and laid aside his beautiful clothing. Then he covered himself with cloth made from hair, and sat in ashes.

7 O o wuxuu sameeyey naado, oo Nineweh gudaheeda ayaa lagu faafiyey amarkii boqorka iyo saraakiishiisa oo leh, Dad iyo duunyo, lo' iyo ido toona, yaan midna wax dhadhamin, oo yaanay wax cunin, biyona cabbin.

And he sent word through all of Nineveh, saying, “By the law of the king and his leaders, do not let man or animal, cattle or flock, taste anything. Do not let them eat or drink water.

8 L aakiinse dad iyo duunyoba dhar joonyad ah ha la wada huwado, oo Ilaah xaggiisa aad ha loogu qayliyo; oo mid kastaaba ha ka leexdo jidkiisii xumaa iyo dulmiga gacmihiisa ku jira.

Both man and animal must be covered with cloth made from hair. Everyone must pray to God with all his heart, so each person may turn from his sinful way and from the bad things he has done.

9 B al yaa og in Ilaah ka noqon doono oo cadhadiisa kulul ka jeesan doono iyo in kale, si aynaan u halligmin?

Who knows? God may change His mind and stop being angry so that we will not die.”

10 O o markaasaa Ilaah wuxuu arkay shuqulkoodii iyo inay iyagu ka noqdeen jidkoodii xumaa, kolkaasaa Ilaah wuxuu ka noqday sharkii uu sheegay inuu iyaga ku samaynayo; oo taasna ma uu samayn.

When God saw what they did, and that they turned from their sinful way, He changed His mind about the trouble He said He would bring upon them, and He did not destroy Nineveh.
