Jonah 3
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
Et la parole du Seigneur vint à Jonas pour la seconde fois, disant
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
Lève-toi, et pars pour Ninive, la grande ville, et proclame dans ses murs la prédiction que Je t'ai déjà prescrit de proclamer.
3 And he arose Jonah and he went to Nineveh according to [the] word of Yahweh and Nineveh it was a city great to God a journey of three days.
Et Jonas se leva; et il s'en alla à Ninive, comme lui avait dit le Seigneur. Or la ville de Ninive était grande de trois jours de marche.
4 And he began Jonah to go in the city a journey of a day one and he proclaimed and he said yet forty day[s] and Nineveh [is] about to be overturned.
Et Jonas commença par entrer dans la ville et par faire environ un jour de marche, et il cria, et il dit: Encore trois jours, et Ninive sera détruite!
5 And they believed [the] people of Nineveh in God and they proclaimed a fast and they wore sackcloth from great their and unto insignificant their.
Et les hommes de Ninive crurent en Dieu, et ils proclamèrent un jeûne, et ils se ceignirent de cilices, depuis le grand jusqu'au petit.
6 And it reached the word to [the] king of Nineveh and he arose from throne his and he took off cloak his from on him and he covered sackcloth and he sat on ash[es].
Et la parole de Jonas arriva au roi de Ninive, et il se leva de son trône, et il ôta sa robe, et il se ceignit d'un cilice, et il s'assit sur la cendre.
7 And he had a proclamation made and he said in Nineveh from [the] decree of the king and great [people] his saying the people and the livestock the cattle and the flock[s] may not they taste anything may not they graze and water may not they drink.
Et il fut proclamé, et il fut dit en Ninive de la part du roi et de la part de ses grands, ce qui suit: Que ni hommes, ni bêtes, ni bœufs, ni brebis ne mangent, ne paissent, ne boivent même de l'eau.
8 And they may cover themselves sackcloth the people and the livestock and let them call out to God with strength and let them turn back everyone from way his evil and from the violence which [is] in palms their.
Et les hommes et les bêtes furent couverts de cilices, et les hommes crièrent sans relâche au Seigneur. Et chacun revint de sa voie coupable et de l'iniquité de ses mains, disant:
9 Who? [is] knowing he will turn and he will relent God and he will turn back from [the] burning of anger his and not we will perish.
Qui sait si le Seigneur ne Se repentira pas, et s'Il ne calmera pas les transports de Sa colère, pour que nous ne périssions point?
10 And he saw God deeds their that they turned back from way their evil and he relented God on the evil which he had said to do to them and not he did [it].
Et Dieu vit leurs œuvres; Il vit qu'ils revenaient de leurs voies coupables; et Dieu Se repentit du mal qu'Il avait voulu leur faire, et Il ne le leur fit pas.
