Jonah 3
1 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ionah the seconde time, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко Ионе вторицею глаголя:
2 Arise, goe vnto Nineueh that great citie, and preach vnto it the preaching, which I bid thee.
востани и иди в Ниневию град великий, и проповеждь в нем по проповеди преждней, юже Аз глаголах тебе.
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.
И воста Иона и иде в Ниневию, якоже глагола Господь. Ниневиа же бяше град велик Богу, яко шествия пути триех дний.
4 And Ionah began to enter into the citie a dayes iourney, and he cryed, and said, Yet fourtie dayes, and Nineueh shalbe ouerthrowen.
И начат Иона входити во град, яко шествие пути дне единаго, и проповеда и рече: еще три дни, и Ниневиа превратится.
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.
И вероваша мужие Ниневийстии Богови, и заповедаша пост, и облекошася во вретища от велика их даже до мала их.
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.
И дойде слово ко царю Ниневийскому, и воста с престола своего и сверже ризы своя с себе, и облечеся во вретище и седе на пепеле.
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.
И проповедася и речено бысть в Ниневию от царя и вельмож его глаголющих: человецы и скоти, и волове и овцы да не вкусят ничесоже, ни да пасутся, ниже воды да пиют.
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.
И облекошася во вретища человецы и скоти и возопиша прилежно к Богу, и возвратися кийждо от пути своего лукаваго и от неправды сущия в руках их, глаголюще:
9 Who can tell if God will turne, and repent and turne away from his fierce wrath, that we perish not?
кто весть, аще раскается и умолен будет Бог, и обратится от гнева ярости Своея, и не погибнем?
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.
И виде Бог дела их, яко обратишася от путий своих лукавых, и раскаяся Бог о зле, еже глаголаше сотворити им, и не сотвори.
