Jonase 3: 1-10

3:1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, ho bua:
3:2 Rise, and go to Nineveh, the great city. And preach in it the preaching that I say to you.
3:3 And Jonah rose, and he went to Nineveh in accordance with the word of the Lord. And Nineveh was a great city of three days’ journey.
3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city one day’s journey. Mme a hoeletsa a re, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed.”
3:5 And the men of Nineveh believed in God. And they proclaimed a fast, and they put on sackcloth, from the greatest all the way to the least.
3:6 And word reached the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne, mme a lahla seaparo sa hae, a apara lesela la mokotla, mme a dula moloreng.
3:7 Mme a hoeletsa a bua: “Nineve, ho tswa molomong wa morena le wa mahosana a hae, ho ke ho bolelwe: Batho le liphoofolo le likhomo le linku li ke ke tsa latsoa letho. Leha e le ho fepa kapa ho noa metsi.
3:8 'Me batho le liphoofolo li apare lesela la mokotla, mme a ba hoeletse ho Jehova ka matla, mme motho a ke a sokolohe tseleng e mpe ya hae, le bokgopong bo matsohong a bona.
3:9 Ke mang ea tsebang haeba Molimo a ka sokoloha ’me a tšoarela?, mme a ka furalla kgalefo ya hae e tukang, e le hore re se ke ra timela?”
3:10 Mme Modimo wa bona mesebetsi ya bona, hore ba ne ba sokolohile tseleng ea bona e khopo. Mme Modimo a ba utlwela bohloko, mabapi le kotsi eo a neng a itse o tla e etsa ho bona, mme a se ke a e etsa.
