Yunus 3
1 Untuk kedua kalinya TUHAN berbicara kepada Yunus.
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jonah a second [time] saying.
2 Kata-Nya, "Pergilah ke Niniwe, kota besar itu, dan sampaikanlah kepada rakyatnya, pesan yang Kuberikan kepadamu."
Arise go to Nineveh the city great and call out against it the proclamation which I [am] speaking to you.
3 Maka Yunus mentaati TUHAN dan pergi ke Niniwe, sebuah kota yang besar sekali; sehingga diperlukan tiga hari untuk melintasinya.
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.
4 Yunus memasuki kota itu dan sesudah berjalan sepanjang hari, ia mulai berkhotbah, katanya, "Empat puluh hari lagi, Niniwe akan hancur!"
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.
5 Penduduk Niniwe percaya kepada pesan Allah itu. Seluruh rakyat memutuskan untuk berpuasa, dan semua orang, baik besar maupun kecil, memakai kain karung untuk menunjukkan bahwa mereka menyesali dosa-dosa mereka.
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.
6 Waktu raja Niniwe mendengar kabar itu, ia segera turun dari takhtanya. Dilepaskannya jubah kerajaannya dan dipakainya kain karung, lalu duduklah ia di atas abu.
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].
7 Ia juga menyiarkan maklumat ini, "Perintah ini dikeluarkan di Niniwe atas keputusan raja dan para menteri: Semua orang, sapi, domba dan ternak lainnya dilarang makan dan minum.
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.
8 Manusia dan binatang harus memakai kain karung. Sebagai tanda penyesalan semua orang harus berdoa dengan sungguh-sungguh kepada Allah. Mereka harus memperbaiki kelakuannya yang jahat dan perbuatannya yang penuh dosa.
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.
9 Barangkali Allah akan mengubah niat-Nya dan tidak marah lagi sehingga kita tidak jadi binasa!"
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.
10 Allah melihat perbuatan mereka; Ia melihat bahwa mereka telah meninggalkan kelakuan mereka yang jahat. Maka Ia mengubah keputusan-Nya, dan tidak jadi menghukum mereka.
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].
