Jonah 3
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika otru reizi uz Jonu sacīdams:
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I shall bid thee.
Celies, ej uz Ninivi, to lielo pilsētu, un sludini pret viņu to sludināšanu, ko Es tev sacīšu.
3 And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
Tad Jona cēlās un gāja uz Ninivi pēc Tā Kunga vārda. Bet Ninive bija liela Dieva pilsēta treju dienu gājumu.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!
Un Jona sāka pilsētā iet vienas dienas gājumu un sludināja un sacīja: vēl četrdesmit dienas, tad Ninive taps apgāzta.
5 And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Tad Ninives ļaudis ticēja uz Dievu un izsauca gavēni un apģērbās ar maisiem, gan lieli, gan mazi.
6 And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Un kad tas vārds Ninives ķēniņa priekšā nāca, tad viņš cēlās no sava goda krēsla un nolika savas ķēniņa drēbes no sevis un apvilka maisu un apsēdās pelnos.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water;
Un viņš lika izsaukt un sludināt Ninivē ķēniņa un viņa lielkungu pavēli: lai ne cilvēks, ne lops, ne vērsis, ne avs nekā nebauda, lai neiet ganos un nedzer ūdeni.
8 and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
Bet cilvēki un lopi lai sedzās ar maisiem un Dievu gauži piesauc, un lai tie atgriežas ikviens no sava ļaunā ceļa un no tā varas darba, kas viņu rokās.
9 Who knoweth but that God will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
Varbūt ka Dievs atgriezīsies, un Viņam būs žēl un atkāpsies no Savas dusmības karstuma, ka mēs neejam bojā.
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did [it] not.
Un Dievs redzēja viņu darbus, ka tie atgriezās no sava niknā ceļa, un Dievam palika žēl viss tas ļaunums, ko Viņš bija runājis, tiem darīt, un to nedarīja.
