1And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
1In prišla je beseda GOSPODOVA drugič Jonu, govoreč:
2Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
2Vstani, pojdi v Ninive, mesto veliko, in jim kliči oznanilo, ki ti ga povem.
3So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
3Tedaj vstane Jona in gre v Ninive po besedi GOSPODOVI. Ninive pa so bile mesto veliko pred Bogom, tri dni hoda.
4And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
4In Jona je šel v mesto en dan hoda in je klical, govoreč: Še štirideset dni, in Ninive bodo razdejane!
5So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
5In ljudstvo v Ninivah je verovalo Bogu, in razglasili so post in se oblekli v raševino vsi, od največjega do najmanjšega.
6For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
6In vest je prišla do kralja v Ninivah: in vstane s svojega prestola, sleče svoj plašč in se ogrne z raševnikom, in sede v pepel.
7And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
7In da razglasiti v Ninivah: To je ukaz kralja in njegovih velikašev: Ljudje in živali, goved in drobnica naj ničesar ne pokusijo, naj se ne pasejo in ne pijo vode;
8But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
8temuč naj se pokrijejo z raševino ljudje in živali ter naj močno vpijejo k Bogu; in naj se izpreobrne vsakdo od hudobnega pota svojega in od krivice, ki je na rokah njegovih.
9Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
9Kdo ve? Bog se morda obrne in se usmili in se odvrne od togote jeze svoje, da ne poginemo.In Bog je videl njih dela, da so se izpreobrnili od hudobnega pota svojega, in mu je bilo žal za hudo, kar je govoril, da jim stori, in ni storil tega.
10And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
10In Bog je videl njih dela, da so se izpreobrnili od hudobnega pota svojega, in mu je bilo žal za hudo, kar je govoril, da jim stori, in ni storil tega.
