Jonah 3
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
Luego el Señor le habló a Jonás por segunda vez:
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
“Ve de inmediato a la gran ciudad de Nínive, y anúnciales el mensaje que te doy”.
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.
Y Jonás hizo lo que Dios le dijo. Y se dirigió a Nínive, una ciudad que era tan grande, que se necesitaban tres días para atravesarla de a pie.
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.
Jonás entró a la ciudad caminando por un día, y gritaba: “¡En cuarenta días Nínive será destruida!”
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.
Y el pueblo de Nínive creyó en Dios. Anunciaron ayuno, y todos los habitantes, desde el más grande hasta el más pequeño, se vistieron de silicio.
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].
Cuando las noticias llegaron al rey de Nínive, éste se levantó de su trono, se quitó la túnica, se vistió de silicio y se sentó en cenizas.
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.
Entonces el rey y los nobles emitieron un mensaje a todo el pueblo de Nínive: “Ninguna persona, animal, rebaño de ovejas o bueyes comerá ni beberá nada.
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.
Cada persona y animal deberá vestir de silicio. Todos deben orar con sinceridad a Dios, renunciar a su maldad, y abandonar la violencia.
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.
¿Quién sabrá si Dios cambia de parecer y se arrepiente? De pronto decida no destruirnos con su ira”.
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].
Y Dios vio lo que habían hecho, y que abandonaron sus malos caminos, y cambió de parecer, y no llevó a cabo la destrucción que había anunciado.
