Jonah 3
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying:
I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Joni drugi put govoreæi:
2 Rise, and go to Nineveh, the great city. And preach in it the preaching that I say to you.
Ustani, i idi u Nineviju grad veliki, i propovijedaj mu ono što ti ja kažem.
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.
I ustav Jona otide u Nineviju po rijeèi Gospodnjoj; a Ninevija bješe grad vrlo velik, tri dana hoda.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city one day’s journey. And he cried out and said, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed.”
I Jona poèe iæi po gradu jedan dan hoda, i propovijeda i reèe: jošte èetrdeset dana, pa æe Ninevija propasti.
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.
I Ninevljani povjerovaše Bogu, i oglasiše post, i obukoše se u kostrijet od najveæega do najmanjega.
6 And word reached the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne, and he threw off his robe from himself and was clothed in sackcloth, and he sat in ashes.
Jer kad doðe ta rijeè do cara Ninevijskoga, on usta sa svojega prijestola, i skide sa sebe svoje odijelo, i obuèe se u kostrijet i sjede u pepeo.
7 And he cried out and spoke: “In Nineveh, from the mouth of the king and of his princes, let it be said: Men and beasts and oxen and sheep may not taste anything. Neither shall they feed or drink water.
I proglasi se i kaza se po Nineviji po zapovijesti carevoj i knezova njegovijeh govoreæi: ljudi i stoka, goveda i ovce da ne okuse ništa, ni da pasu ni da piju vode.
8 And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and let them cry out to the Lord with strength, and may man be converted from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands.
Nego i ljudi i stoka da se pokriju kostrijeæu, i da prizivaju Boga jako, i da se vrati svaki sa svoga zloga puta i od nepravde koja mu je u ruku.
9 Who knows if God may turn and forgive, and may turn away from his furious wrath, so that we might not perish?”
Ko zna, eda se povrati i raskaje Bog i povrati se od ljutoga gnjeva svojega, te ne izginemo.
10 And God saw their works, that they had been converted from their evil way. And God took pity on them, concerning the harm that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
I Bog vidje djela njihova, gdje se vratiše sa zloga puta svojega; i raskaja se Bog oda zla koje reèe da im uèini, i ne uèini.
