< Jonah 3 >

1 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ionah the seconde time, saying,
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika otru reizi uz Jonu sacīdams:
2 Arise, goe vnto Nineueh that great citie, and preach vnto it the preaching, which I bid thee.
Celies, ej uz Ninivi, to lielo pilsētu, un sludini pret viņu to sludināšanu, ko Es tev sacīšu.
3 So Ionah arose and went to Nineueh according to ye word of the Lord: now Nineueh was a great and excellent citie of three dayes iourney.
Tad Jona cēlās un gāja uz Ninivi pēc Tā Kunga vārda. Bet Ninive bija liela Dieva pilsēta treju dienu gājumu.
4 And Ionah began to enter into the citie a dayes iourney, and he cryed, and said, Yet fourtie dayes, and Nineueh shalbe ouerthrowen.
Un Jona sāka pilsētā iet vienas dienas gājumu un sludināja un sacīja: vēl četrdesmit dienas, tad Ninive taps apgāzta.
5 So the people of Nineueh beleeued God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from ye greatest of the euen to the least of them.
Tad Ninives ļaudis ticēja uz Dievu un izsauca gavēni un apģērbās ar maisiem, gan lieli, gan mazi.
6 For worde came vnto the King of Nineueh, and he rose from his throne, and he layed his robe from him, and couered him with sackecloth, and sate 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 proclaimed and said through Nineueh, (by the counsell of ye king and his nobles) saying, Let neither man, nor beast, bullock nor sheep taste any thing, neither feed nor drinke 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 But let man and beast put on sackecloth, and crie mightily vnto God: yea, let euery man turne from his euill way, and from the wickednesse that is in their handes.
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 can tell if God will turne, and repent and turne away from his fierce wrath, 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 sawe their workes that they turned from their euill wayes: and God repented of the euill that he had said that he woulde doe vnto 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.
