Jonas 3
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
ヱホバの言ふたたびヨナに臨めり 曰く
2 Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to you of.
起てかの大なる府ニネベに往きわが汝に命ずるところを宣よ
3 And Jonas arose, and went to Nineve, as the Lord had spoken. Now Nineve was an exceeding great city, of about three days' journey.
ヨナすなはちヱホバの言に循ひて起てニネベに往り ニネベは甚だ大なる邑にしてこれをめぐるに三日を歴る程なり
4 And Jonas began to enter into the city about a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said, Yet three days, and Nineve shall be overthrown.
ヨナその邑に入はじめ一日路を行つつ呼はり曰けるは四十日を歴ばニネベは滅亡さるべし
5 And the men of Nineve believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloths, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
かかりしかばニネベの人々神を信じ斷食を宣れ大なる者より小き者に至るまでみな麻布を衣たり
6 And the word reached the king of Nineve, and he arose from off his throne, and took off his raiment from him, and put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.
この言ニネベの王に聞えければ彼 位より起ち朝服を脱ぎ麻布を身に纒ふて灰の中に坐せり
7 And proclamation was made, and it was commanded in Nineve by the king an by his great men, saying, Let not men, or cattle, or oxen, or sheep, taste [any thing], nor feed, nor drink water.
また王大臣とともに命をくだしてニネベ中に宣しめて曰く人も畜も牛も羊もともに何をも味ふべからず 又物をくらひ水を飮べからず
8 So men and cattle were clothed with sackcloths, and cried earnestly to God; and they turned every one from their evil way, and from the iniquity that was in their hands, saying,
人も畜も麻布をまとひ只管神に呼はり且おのおの其惡き途および其手に作す邪惡を離るべし
9 Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
或は神その聖旨をかへて悔い其烈しき怒を息てわれらを滅亡さざらん 誰かその然らざるを知んや
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil ways; and God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did [it] not.
神かれらの爲すところをかんがみ其あしき途を離るるを見そなはし彼等になさんと言し所の災禍を悔て之をなしたまはざりき
