Jona 3
1 Riječ Jahvina dođe Joni drugi put:
And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ionah the seconde time, saying,
2 “Ustani,” reče mu, “idi u Ninivu, grad veliki, propovijedaj u njemu što ću ti reći.”
Arise, goe vnto Nineueh that great citie, and preach vnto it the preaching, which I bid thee.
3 Jona ustade i ode u Ninivu, kako mu Jahve zapovjedi. Niniva bijaše grad velik do Boga - tri dana hoda.
So Ionah arose and went to Nineueh according to ye word of the Lord: now Nineueh was a great and excellent citie of three dayes iourney.
4 Jona prođe gradom dan hoda, propovijedajući: “Još četrdeset dana i Niniva će biti razorena.”
And Ionah began to enter into the citie a dayes iourney, and he cryed, and said, Yet fourtie dayes, and Nineueh shalbe ouerthrowen.
5 Ninivljani povjerovaše Bogu; oglasiše post i obukoše se u kostrijet, svi od najvećega do najmanjega.
So the people of Nineueh beleeued God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from ye greatest of the euen to the least of them.
6 Glas doprije do kralja ninivskoga: on ustade s prijestolja, skide plašt sa sebe, odjenu se u kostrijet i sjede u pepeo.
For worde came vnto the King of Nineueh, and he rose from his throne, and he layed his robe from him, and couered him with sackecloth, and sate in ashes.
7 Tada se po odredbi kralja i njegovih velikaša oglasi i objavi u Ninivi: “Ljudi i stoka, goveda i ovce da ne okuse ništa, ni da pasu, ni da vodu piju.
And he proclaimed and said through Nineueh, (by the counsell of ye king and his nobles) saying, Let neither man, nor beast, bullock nor sheep taste any thing, neither feed nor drinke water.
8 Nego i ljudi i stoka da se pokriju kostrijeću, da glasno Boga zazivlju i da se obrati svatko sa svojega zlog puta i nepravde koju je činio.
But let man and beast put on sackecloth, and crie mightily vnto God: yea, let euery man turne from his euill way, and from the wickednesse that is in their handes.
9 Tko zna, možda će se povratiti Bog, smilovati se i odustati od ljutoga svog gnjeva da ne izginemo?”
Who can tell if God will turne, and repent and turne away from his fierce wrath, that we perish not?
10 Bog vidje što su činili: da se obratiše od svojega zlog puta. I sažali se Bog zbog nesreće kojom im bijaše zaprijetio i ne učini.
And God sawe their workes that they turned from their euill wayes: and God repented of the euill that he had said that he woulde doe vnto them, and he did it not.
