Jonah 3
1 This message from the Lord came to Jonah the second time,
I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Joni drugi put govoreæi:
2 ‘Arise, go to that great city, Nineveh, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.’
Ustani, i idi u Nineviju grad veliki, i propovijedaj mu ono što ti ja kažem.
3 So Jonah started for Nineveh, as the Lord commanded. Now Nineveh was so large a city that it took three days’ journey to cross it.
I ustav Jona otide u Nineviju po rijeèi Gospodnjoj; a Ninevija bješe grad vrlo velik, tri dana hoda.
4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, and he proclaimed, ‘Forty days more and Nineveh shall be overthrown.’
I Jona poèe iæi po gradu jedan dan hoda, i propovijeda i reèe: jošte èetrdeset dana, pa æe Ninevija propasti.
5 And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they ordered a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.
I Ninevljani povjerovaše Bogu, i oglasiše post, i obukoše se u kostrijet od najveæega do najmanjega.
6 And when word came to the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his robe, dressed in sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Jer kad doðe ta rijeè do cara Ninevijskoga, on usta sa svojega prijestola, i skide sa sebe svoje odijelo, i obuèe se u kostrijet i sjede u pepeo.
7 And he made this proclamation and published it in Nineveh: ‘By the decree of the king and his nobles: People, beast, herd, and flock shall not taste anything; let them not eat nor drink water.
I proglasi se i kaza se po Nineviji po zapovijesti carevoj i knezova njegovijeh govoreæi: ljudi i stoka, goveda i ovce da ne okuse ništa, ni da pasu ni da piju vode.
8 Let both people and animals put on sackcloth and let them cry earnestly to God; let them each turn from their evil ways and from the deeds of violence which they are doing.
Nego i ljudi i stoka da se pokriju kostrijeæu, i da prizivaju Boga jako, i da se vrati svaki sa svoga zloga puta i od nepravde koja mu je u ruku.
9 Who knows? God may relent and avert his fierce anger, so that we may not die.’
Ko zna, eda se povrati i raskaje Bog i povrati se od ljutoga gnjeva svojega, te ne izginemo.
10 When God saw that they turned from their evil course, he relented the evil which he said he would do to them, and did not do it.
I Bog vidje djela njihova, gdje se vratiše sa zloga puta svojega; i raskaja se Bog oda zla koje reèe da im uèini, i ne uèini.
