Jonas 3
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
La Palabra de Yavé vino por segunda vez a Jonás:
2 Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to you of.
Levántate y vé a Nínive, la gran ciudad, y proclama en ella el mensaje que Yo te daré.
3 And Jonas arose, and went to Nineve, as the Lord had spoken. Now Nineve was an exceeding great city, of about three days' journey.
Entonces Jonás se levantó y fue a Nínive, conforme a la Palabra de Yavé. Nínive era una ciudad muy grande de tres días de camino.
4 And Jonas began to enter into the city about a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said, Yet three days, and Nineve shall be overthrown.
Jonás entró en la ciudad. Caminó un día y proclamaba: Quedan 40 días y Nínive será destruida.
5 And the men of Nineve believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloths, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
Los hombres de Nínive creyeron a ʼElohim, proclamaron ayuno y se cubrieron de tela áspera, desde el mayor hasta el menor.
6 And the word reached the king of Nineve, and he arose from off his throne, and took off his raiment from him, and put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.
Cuando la noticia llegó al rey de Nínive, éste se levantó de su trono, se despojó de su manto, se cubrió de tela áspera y se sentó sobre ceniza.
7 And proclamation was made, and it was commanded in Nineve by the king an by his great men, saying, Let not men, or cattle, or oxen, or sheep, taste [any thing], nor feed, nor drink water.
Proclamó y anunció en Nínive, por mandato del rey y de sus grandes: ¡Que hombres y animales, bueyes y ovejas, no coman alguna cosa! ¡Que no se les dé alimento, ni beban agua!
8 So men and cattle were clothed with sackcloths, and cried earnestly to God; and they turned every one from their evil way, and from the iniquity that was in their hands, saying,
¡Cúbranse de tela áspera tanto hombres como animales! ¡Clamen a ʼElohim fuertemente, y cambien de mente cada uno con respecto a su mal camino y al robo que hay en sus manos!
9 Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
¿Quién sabe si ʼElohim desistirá y cambiará de parecer, se apartará del furor de su ira y no perezcamos?
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil ways; and God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did [it] not.
ʼElohim vio lo que hicieron, cómo regresaron de su mal camino, y desistió del mal que dijo que les haría, y no lo hizo.
