1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
ヱホバの言ふたたびヨナに臨めり 曰く
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
起てかの大なる府ニネベに往きわが汝に命ずるところを宣よ
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.
ヨナすなはちヱホバの言に循ひて起てニネベに往り ニネベは甚だ大なる邑にしてこれをめぐるに三日を歴る程なり
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.
ヨナその邑に入はじめ一日路を行つつ呼はり曰けるは四十日を歴ばニネベは滅亡さるべし
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.
かかりしかばニネベの人々神を信じ斷食を宣れ大なる者より小き者に至るまでみな麻布を衣たり
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].
この言ニネベの王に聞えければ彼 位より起ち朝服を脱ぎ麻布を身に纒ふて灰の中に坐せり
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.
また王大臣とともに命をくだしてニネベ中に宣しめて曰く人も畜も牛も羊もともに何をも味ふべからず 又物をくらひ水を飮べからず
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.
人も畜も麻布をまとひ只管神に呼はり且おのおの其惡き途および其手に作す邪惡を離るべし
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.
或は神その聖旨をかへて悔い其烈しき怒を息てわれらを滅亡さざらん 誰かその然らざるを知んや
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].
神かれらの爲すところをかんがみ其あしき途を離るるを見そなはし彼等になさんと言し所の災禍を悔て之をなしたまはざりき
