Jonah 3
1 And the word of YHWH came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко Ионе вторицею глаголя:
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
востани и иди в Ниневию град великий, и проповеждь в нем по проповеди преждней, юже Аз глаголах тебе.
3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of YHWH. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
И воста Иона и иде в Ниневию, якоже глагола Господь. Ниневиа же бяше град велик Богу, яко шествия пути триех дний.
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.
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 Nineveh believed Elohim, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even 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 word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat 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 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 any thing: let them not feed, nor drink 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 be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto Elohim: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
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 Elohim will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
кто весть, аще раскается и умолен будет Бог, и обратится от гнева ярости Своея, и не погибнем?
10 And Elohim saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and Elohim repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto 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.
