¹And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

¹Ut li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuißchic riqßuin laj Jonás ut quixye re:

²Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

²—Ayu aran saß li nimla tenamit Nínive ut toxajultica chiruheb li tinye âcue.

³So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.

³Ut laj Jonás cô saß li tenamit Nínive joß quiyeheß re xban li Dios. Li tenamit Nínive kßaxal nim. Oxib cutan naraj xbeninquil xsaß li tenamit aßan.

⁴And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

⁴Nak qui-oc laj Jonás saß li tenamit quixtiquib xyebal li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban li Dios. Quixnumsi li jun cutan xbeninquil li tenamit ut yô chixyebal reheb: —Joßcaßin saß caßcßâl cutan li tenamit Nínive tâsachekß ru xban li Dios, chan.

⁵So 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.

⁵Ut eb li cuanqueb saß li tenamit Nínive queßxpâb li râtin li Dios li quixye laj Jonás. Queßxye nak teßxbânu x-ayûn chixjunileb, joß nînk joß cocß. Ut queßxqßue li kßes ru tßicr chirixeb retalil nak raheb saß xchßôl.

⁶For 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.

⁶Nak quicuulac resil riqßuin li rey li tâcßulmânk saß li tenamit Nínive, li rey quicuacli saß lix cßojaribâl. Quirisi li châbil akß chirix ut quixqßue li tßicr kßes ru chirix ut quixchunub rib saß cha.

⁷And 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:

⁷Chirix aßan li rey, rochbeneb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru, queßxqßue jun li chakßrab. Li chakßrab li queßxqßue, aßan nak li cristian incßaß teßcuaßak chi moco teßucßak. Chi moco li quetômk teßqßuehekß xcua rucßa, chi moco li bôyx, chi moco li carner.

⁸But 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.

⁸Cheßxqßuehak ban li kßes ru tßicr chirixeb chixjunileb li cuanqueb Nínive, joßqueb ajcuiß li xul. Ut cau cheßxyâbâk li Dios. Xjalakeb xcßaßux ut xcanabakeb xbânunquil li yibru naßleb li yôqueb chixbânunquil.

⁹Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

⁹Cui takabânu aßin, mâre anchal tixjal xcßaßux li Dios saß kabên. Mâre tânumekß xjoskßil ut incßaß chic tixsach ku, chanqueb.Li Dios quiril nak queßxjal xcßaßuxeb ut queßxcanab xbânunquil li mâusilal li queßxbânu. Joßcan nak li Dios quixjal xcßaßux ut incßaß quixqßue li raylal saß xbêneb li quixcßoxla xbânunquil reheb.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Li Dios quiril nak queßxjal xcßaßuxeb ut queßxcanab xbânunquil li mâusilal li queßxbânu. Joßcan nak li Dios quixjal xcßaßux ut incßaß quixqßue li raylal saß xbêneb li quixcßoxla xbânunquil reheb.
