Jonah 3
1 Then the Lord spoke to Jonah for a second time.
et factum est verbum Domini ad Ionam secundo dicens
2 “Go immediately to the great city of Nineveh and announce the message I'm giving you.”
surge vade ad Nineven civitatem magnam et praedica in ea praedicationem quam ego loquor ad te
3 Jonah did what God told him. He set out and went to Nineveh, a city that was so big it took three days to walk through it.
et surrexit Iona et abiit in Nineven iuxta verbum Domini et Nineve erat civitas magna Dei itinere dierum trium
4 Jonah went into the city, walking for one day, shouting out, “In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!”
et coepit Iona introire in civitatem itinere diei unius et clamavit et dixit adhuc quadraginta dies et Nineve subvertetur
5 The people of Nineveh believed in God. They announced a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.
et crediderunt viri ninevitae in Deo et praedicaverunt ieiunium et vestiti sunt saccis a maiore usque ad minorem
6 When the news of what was happening reached the king of Nineveh he came down from his throne, took off his robe, put on sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
et pervenit verbum ad regem Nineve et surrexit de solio suo et abiecit vestimentum suum a se et indutus est sacco et sedit in cinere
7 Then the king and the nobles issued a proclamation throughout Nineveh: “No person, no animal, no herd, and no flock, shall eat or drink anything.
et clamavit et dixit in Nineve ex ore regis et principum eius dicens homines et iumenta et boves et pecora non gustent quicquam nec pascantur et aquam non bibant
8 Every person and every animal is to wear sackcloth. Everyone is to pray sincerely to God, give up the evil things they do, and stop using violence.
et operiantur saccis homines et iumenta et clament ad Dominum in fortitudine et convertatur vir a via sua mala et ab iniquitate quae est in manibus eorum
9 Who knows? God may change his mind and relent. He may decide not to destroy us in his fierce anger.”
quis scit si convertatur et ignoscat Deus et revertatur a furore irae suae et non peribimus
10 God saw what they had done—that they had given up their evil ways—so he changed his mind and did not carry out the destruction he had threatened.
et vidit Deus opera eorum quia conversi sunt a via sua mala et misertus est Deus super malitiam quam locutus fuerat ut faceret eis et non fecit
