Jonas 3
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
Y fue palabra de Jehová segunda vez a Jonás, diciendo:
2 Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to you of.
Levántate, y vé a Nínive aquella gran ciudad, y pregona en ella el pregón que yo te diré.
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.
Y levantóse Jonás, y fue a Nínive, conforme a la palabra de Jehová. Y Nínive era ciudad grande en gran manera, de tres días de camino.
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.
Y comenzó Jonás a entrar por la ciudad camino de un día, y pregonaba, diciendo: De aquí a cuarenta días Nínive será destruida.
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.
Y los varones de Nínive creyeron a Dios; y pregonaron ayuno, y vistiéronse de sacos, desde el mayor de ellos hasta el menor de ellos.
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.
Y llegó el negocio hasta el rey de Nínive, y levantóse de su trono, y echó de sí su vestido, y cubrióse de saco, y asentóse sobre ceniza.
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.
E hizo pregonar, y decir: En Nínive, por mandado del rey, y de sus grandes, diciendo: Hombres y animales, bueyes y ovejas, no gusten cosa, ni se les dé pasto, ni beban agua.
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,
Y los hombres, y los animales se cubran de sacos, y clamen a Dios fuertemente; y cada uno se convierta de su mal camino, de la rapiña que está en sus manos.
9 Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
¿Quién sabe si se convertirá, y se arrepentirá Dios; y se convertirá del furor de su ira, y no pereceremos?
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.
Y vio Dios lo que hicieron, porque se convirtieron de su mal camino; y arrepintióse del mal que había dicho que les había de hacer, y no lo hizo.
