Jona 3
1 I doðe rijeè Gospodnja Joni drugi put govoreæi:
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Ustani, i idi u Nineviju grad veliki, i propovijedaj mu ono što ti ja kažem.
Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
3 I ustav Jona otide u Nineviju po rijeèi Gospodnjoj; a Ninevija bješe grad vrlo velik, tri dana hoda.
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days’ journey.
4 I Jona poèe iæi po gradu jedan dan hoda, i propovijeda i reèe: jošte èetrdeset dana, pa æe Ninevija propasti.
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 I Ninevljani povjerovaše Bogu, i oglasiše post, i obukoše se u kostrijet od najveæega do najmanjega.
And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 Jer kad doðe ta rijeè do cara Ninevijskoga, on usta sa svojega prijestola, i skide sa sebe svoje odijelo, i obuèe se u kostrijet i sjede u pepeo.
And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 I proglasi se i kaza se po Nineviji po zapovijesti carevoj i knezova njegovijeh govoreæi: ljudi i stoka, goveda i ovce da ne okuse ništa, ni da pasu ni da piju vode.
And he made proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
8 Nego i ljudi i stoka da se pokriju kostrijeæu, i da prizivaju Boga jako, i da se vrati svaki sa svoga zloga puta i od nepravde koja mu je u ruku.
but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.
9 Ko zna, eda se povrati i raskaje Bog i povrati se od ljutoga gnjeva svojega, te ne izginemo.
Who knoweth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10 I Bog vidje djela njihova, gdje se vratiše sa zloga puta svojega; i raskaja se Bog oda zla koje reèe da im uèini, i ne uèini.
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil which he said he would do unto them; and he did it not.
