Jonah 3
1 And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah a second time, saying,
Un Tā Kunga vārds notika otru reizi uz Jonu sacīdams:
2 “Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the proclamation that I am speaking to you”;
Celies, ej uz Ninivi, to lielo pilsētu, un sludini pret viņu to sludināšanu, ko Es tev sacīšu.
3 and Jonah rises, and he goes to Nineveh, according to the word of YHWH. And Nineveh has been a great city before God, a journey of three days.
Tad Jona cēlās un gāja uz Ninivi pēc Tā Kunga vārda. Bet Ninive bija liela Dieva pilsēta treju dienu gājumu.
4 And Jonah begins to go into the city—a journey of one day—and proclaims and says, “Yet forty days and Nineveh is overturned!”
Un Jona sāka pilsētā iet vienas dienas gājumu un sludināja un sacīja: vēl četrdesmit dienas, tad Ninive taps apgāzta.
5 And the men of Nineveh believe in God, and proclaim a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least,
Tad Ninives ļaudis ticēja uz Dievu un izsauca gavēni un apģērbās ar maisiem, gan lieli, gan mazi.
6 seeing the word comes to the king of Nineveh, and he rises from his throne, and removes his honorable robe from off him, and spreads out sackcloth, and sits on the 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 cries and says in Nineveh by a decree of the king and his great ones, saying, “Man and beast, herd and flock—do not let them taste anything, do not let them feed, do not even let them drink 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 and let man and beast cover themselves [with] sackcloth, and let them call to God mightily, and let them each turn back from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their hands.
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 knows? He turns back, and God has relented, and has turned back from the heat of His anger, and we do not perish.”
Varbūt ka Dievs atgriezīsies, un Viņam būs žēl un atkāpsies no Savas dusmības karstuma, ka mēs neejam bojā.
10 And God sees their works, that they have turned back from their evil way, and God relents of the evil that He spoke of doing to them, and He has not done [it].
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.
