Jonah 3
1 And there is a word of YHWH to Jonah a second time, saying,
И дође реч Господња Јони други пут говорећи:
2 “Rise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the proclamation that I am speaking to you”;
Устани, и иди у Ниневију град велики, и проповедај му оно што ти ја кажем.
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.
И устав Јона отиде у Ниневију по речи Господњој; а Ниневија беше град врло велик, три дана хода.
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!”
И Јона поче ићи по граду један дан хода, и проповеда и рече: Јоште четрдесет дана, па ће Ниневија пропасти.
5 And the men of Nineveh believe in God, and proclaim a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least,
И Ниневљани повероваше Богу, и огласише пост, и обукоше се у кострет од највећег до најмањег.
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,
Јер кад дође та реч до цара ниневијског, он уста са свог престола, и скиде са себе своје одело, и обуче се у кострет и седе у пепео.
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;
И прогласи се и каза се по Ниневији по заповести царевој и кнезова његових говорећи: Људи и стока, говеда и овце да не окусе ништа, ни да пасу ни да пију воде.
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.
Него и људи и стока да се покрију кострећу, и да призивају Бога јако, и да се врати сваки са свог злог пута и од неправде која му је у руку.
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.”
Ко зна, еда се поврати и раскаје Бог и поврати се од љутог гнева свог, те не изгинемо.
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].
И Бог виде дела њихова, где се вратише са злог пута свог; и раскаја се Бог ода зла које рече да им учини, и не учини.
