Jonah 3
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
La palabra de Yahvé vino a Jonás por segunda vez, diciendo:
2 Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
“Levántate, ve a Nínive, esa gran ciudad, y predícale 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.
Jonás se levantó y se dirigió a Nínive, según la palabra de Yahvé. Nínive era una ciudad muy grande, que estaba a tres días de camino.
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 comenzó a entrar en la ciudad a un día de camino, y gritó diciendo: “¡Dentro de 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.
El pueblo de Nínive creyó a Dios, y proclamó un ayuno y se vistió de cilicio, desde el más grande hasta el más pequeño.
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].
La noticia llegó a oídos del rey de Nínive, quien se levantó de su trono, se quitó el manto real, se cubrió de cilicio 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.
Hizo una proclama y la publicó por Nínive por decreto del rey y de sus nobles, diciendo: “Que ni el hombre ni el animal, ni la manada ni el rebaño, prueben nada; que no se alimenten ni beban agua;
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.
sino que se cubran de cilicio, tanto el hombre como el animal, y que clamen poderosamente a Dios. Sí, que se conviertan todos de su mal camino y de la violencia que hay en sus manos.
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 sabe si Dios no se convertirá y se arrepentirá, y se apartará de su feroz ira, para que no perezcamos?”
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].
Dios vio sus obras, que se convirtieron de su mal camino. Dios cedió del desastre que dijo que les haría, y no lo hizo.
