¹At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Jonas na ikalawa, na nagsasabi,

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

²Bumangon ka, pumaroon ka sa Ninive, sa malaking bayang yaon, at ipangaral mo ang pangaral na aking iniutos sa iyo.

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

³Sa gayo'y bumangon si Jonas, at naparoon sa Ninive, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon. Ang Ninive nga ay totoong malaking bayan, na tatlong araw na lakarin.

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

⁴At pumasok si Jonas sa bayan na may isang araw na gumagala, at siya'y sumigaw, at nagsasabi, Apat na pung araw pa at ang Ninive ay mawawasak.

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!

⁵At ang bayan ng Ninive ay sumampalataya sa Dios; at sila'y nangaghayag ng ayuno, at nangagsuot ng kayong magaspang, mula sa kadakidakilaan sa kanila hanggang sa kaliitliitan sa kanila.

⁵And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

⁶At ang mga balita ay dumating sa hari sa Ninive, at siya'y tumindig sa kaniyang luklukan, at hinubad niya ang kaniyang balabal, at nagbalot siya ng kayong magaspang, at naupo sa mga abo.

⁶And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

⁷At kaniyang inihayag at itinanyag sa buong Ninive sa pasiya ng hari at ng kaniyang mga mahal na tao, na sinasabi, Huwag lumasa maging tao ni hayop man, bakahan ni kawan man, ng anomang bagay: huwag silang magsikain, ni magsiinom man ng tubig;

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 anything: let them not feed, nor drink water;

⁸Kundi mangagbalot sila ng kayong magaspang, ang tao at gayon din ang hayop, at magsidaing silang mainam sa Dios: oo, talikdan ng bawa't isa ang kaniyang masamang lakad, at ang pangdadahas na nasa kanilang mga kamay.

⁸and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

⁹Sino ang nakaaalam kung manumbalik ang Dios at magsisisi, at hihiwalay sa kaniyang mabangis na galit, upang tayo'y huwag mangamatay.

⁹Who knoweth but that God will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

¹⁰At nakita ng Dios ang kanilang mga gawa, na sila'y nagsihiwalay sa kanilang masamang lakad; at nagsisi ang Dios sa kasamaan, na kaniyang sinabing kaniyang gagawin sa kanila; at hindi niya ginawa.

¹⁰And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did [it] not.
