Jonas 3
1 E veiu a palavra do Senhor segunda vez a Jonas, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
2 Levanta-te, e vae á grande cidade de Ninive, e prega contra ella a prégação que eu te digo.
Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to you of.
3 E levantou-se Jonas, e foi a Ninive, segundo a palavra do Senhor: era pois Ninive uma grande cidade de Deus, de tres dias de caminho.
And Jonas arose, and went to Nineve, as the Lord had spoken. Now Nineve was an exceeding great city, of about three days' journey.
4 E começava Jonas a entrar pela cidade caminho d'um dia, e prégava, e dizia: Ainda quarenta dias, e Ninive será subvertida.
And Jonas began to enter into the city about a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said, Yet three days, and Nineve shall be overthrown.
5 E os homens de Ninive creram em Deus; e proclamaram um jejum, e vestiram-se de sacco, desde o maior até ao menor.
And the men of Nineve believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloths, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
6 Porque esta palavra chegou ao rei de Ninive, e levantou-se do seu throno, e tirou de si os seus vestidos, e cobriu-se de sacco, e assentou-se sobre a cinza.
And the word reached the king of Nineve, and he arose from off his throne, and took off his raiment from him, and put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.
7 E fez apregoar, e fallou-se em Ninive, pelo mandado do rei e dos seus grandes, dizendo: Nem homens, nem animaes, nem bois, nem ovelhas provem coisa alguma, nem se lhes dê pasto, nem bebam agua.
And proclamation was made, and it was commanded in Nineve by the king an by his great men, saying, Let not men, or cattle, or oxen, or sheep, taste [any thing], nor feed, nor drink water.
8 Mas os homens e os animaes estarão cobertos de saccos, e clamarão fortemente a Deus, e se converterão, cada um do seu mau caminho, e da violencia que ha nas suas mãos.
So men and cattle were clothed with sackcloths, and cried earnestly to God; and they turned every one from their evil way, and from the iniquity that was in their hands, saying,
9 Quem sabe se se voltará Deus, e se arrependerá, e se apartará do furor da sua ira, de sorte que não pereçamos?
Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
10 E Deus viu as obras d'elles, como se converteram do seu mau caminho: e Deus se arrependeu do mal que tinha dito lhes faria, e não o fez.
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil ways; and God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did [it] not.
