Jonah 3
1 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ionah the seconde time, saying,
Gospodova beseda je drugič prišla Jonu, rekoč:
2 Arise, goe vnto Nineueh that great citie, and preach vnto it the preaching, which I bid thee.
»Vstani, pojdi v Ninive, to veliko mesto in mu oznani pridigo, ki sem ti jo zapovedal.«
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.
Tako je Jona vstal in odšel v Ninive, glede na Gospodovo besedo. Torej Ninive so bile silno veliko mesto treh dni potovanja.
4 And Ionah began to enter into the citie a dayes iourney, and he cryed, and said, Yet fourtie dayes, and Nineueh shalbe ouerthrowen.
Jona je začel vstopati v mesto [prvi] dan potovanja ter vpil in govoril: »Še štirideset dni in Ninive bodo uničene.«
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.
Tako je ljudstvo v Ninivah verovalo Bogu in razglasilo post in si nadelo vrečevino, od največjih izmed njih, celo do najmanjših izmed njih.
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.
Kajti beseda je prišla h kralju Niniv in vstal je s svojega prestola in iz sebe odložil svoje svečano oblačilo in se pokril z vrečevino in sédel na pepel.
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.
In storil je to, da se je razglasilo in oznanilo skozi Ninive, po odloku kralja in njegovih plemičev, rekoč: »Naj niti človek niti žival, [niti] trop niti čreda ničesar ne pokusijo, naj se ne pasejo niti ne pijejo vode,
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.
temveč naj bosta človek in žival pokrita z vrečevino in mogočno kličeta k Bogu, da naj se oni, vsakdo izmed njih, obrnejo od svoje zle poti in od nasilja, ki je v njihovih rokah.
9 Who can tell if God will turne, and repent and turne away from his fierce wrath, that we perish not?
Kdo lahko pove, če se bo Bog obrnil, pokesal in odvrnil proč od svoje krute jeze, da se ne pogubimo?«
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.
In Bog je videl njihova dela, da so se odvrnili od svoje zle poti in Bog se je pokesal od zla, ki ga je rekel, da jim bo storil in tega ni storil.
