< Jona 3 >

1 Gospodova beseda je drugič prišla Jonu, rekoč:
And the word of the Lord was maad the secounde tyme to Jonas, and seide, Rise thou,
2 »Vstani, pojdi v Ninive, to veliko mesto in mu oznani pridigo, ki sem ti jo zapovedal.«
and go in to Nynyue, the greet citee, and preche thou in it the prechyng which Y speke to thee.
3 Tako je Jona vstal in odšel v Ninive, glede na Gospodovo besedo. Torej Ninive so bile silno veliko mesto treh dni potovanja.
And Jonas roos, and wente in to Nynyue, bi the word of the Lord. And Nynyue was a greet citee, of the iurnei of thre daies.
4 Jona je začel vstopati v mesto [prvi] dan potovanja ter vpil in govoril: »Še štirideset dni in Ninive bodo uničene.«
And Jonas bigan for to entre in to the citee, bi the iornei of o dai, and criede, and seide, Yit fourti daies, and Nynyue schal be `turned vpsodoun.
5 Tako je ljudstvo v Ninivah verovalo Bogu in razglasilo post in si nadelo vrečevino, od največjih izmed njih, celo do najmanjših izmed njih.
And men of Nynyue bileueden to the Lord, and prechiden fastyng, and weren clothid with sackis, fro the more `til to the lesse.
6 Kajti beseda je prišla h kralju Niniv in vstal je s svojega prestola in iz sebe odložil svoje svečano oblačilo in se pokril z vrečevino in sédel na pepel.
And the word cam til to the kyng of Nynyue; and he roos of his seete, and castide awei his clothing fro him, and was clothid with a sak, and sat in aische.
7 In storil je to, da se je razglasilo in oznanilo skozi Ninive, po odloku kralja in njegovih plemičev, rekoč: »Naj niti človek niti žival, [niti] trop niti čreda ničesar ne pokusijo, naj se ne pasejo niti ne pijejo vode,
And he criede, and seide in Nynyue of the mouth of the kyng and of `his princis, `and seide, Men, and werk beestis, and oxun, and scheep taaste not ony thing, nether be fed, nether drynke watir.
8 temveč naj bosta človek in žival pokrita z vrečevino in mogočno kličeta k Bogu, da naj se oni, vsakdo izmed njih, obrnejo od svoje zle poti in od nasilja, ki je v njihovih rokah.
And men be hilid with sackis, and werk beestis crie to the Lord in strengthe; `and be a man conuertid fro his yuel weie, and fro wickidnesse that is in the hondis of hem.
9 Kdo lahko pove, če se bo Bog obrnil, pokesal in odvrnil proč od svoje krute jeze, da se ne pogubimo?«
Who woot, if God be conuertid, and foryyue, and be turned ayen fro woodnesse of his wraththe, and we schulen not perische?
10 In Bog je videl njihova dela, da so se odvrnili od svoje zle poti in Bog se je pokesal od zla, ki ga je rekel, da jim bo storil in tega ni storil.
And God sai the werkis of hem, that thei weren conuertid fro her yuel weie; and God hadde merci on the malice which he spac, that he schulde do to hem, and did not.
