니느웨로 가는 요나

여호와께서 다시 요나에게 말씀하셨다.

“너는 저 큰 니느웨성으로 가서 내가 전에 너에게 말한 대로 니느웨성의 멸망을 선포하라.”

그래서 요나는 여호와의 말씀에 순종하여 니느웨로 갔다. 니느웨는 대단히 커서 한 바퀴 도는 데 걸어서 3일이나 걸리는 큰 성이었다.

요나는 그 성에 들어가 하루 종일 돌아다니며 40일 후에는 그 성이 멸망할 것이라고 외쳤다.

니느웨 사람들은 [a]요나가 전한 하나님의 말씀을 믿었다. 그래서 그들은 금식을 선포하고 신분이 높은 사람이나 낮은 사람이나 모두 [b]회개하는 마음으로 굵은 삼베 옷을 입었다.

그 소문을 들은 니느웨 왕은 자기 왕좌에서 일어나 왕복을 벗고 굵은 삼베 옷을 입고 잿더미에 앉았다.

그러고서 왕은 니느웨 사람들에게 이런 조서를 내렸다. “이것은 왕과 대신들의 명령이다. 사람이나 짐승이나 일체 먹을 것을 입에 대서는 안 되며 물도 마셔서는 안 된다.

사람이나 짐승이나 다 굵은 삼베를 걸칠 것이며 모든 사람들은 하나님께 진심으로 기도하고 각자 자기 잘못을 뉘우치고 악을 버려라.

하나님이 혹시 뜻을 돌이키시고 분노를 거두셔서 우리를 멸망시키지 않으실지 누가 알겠는가!”

10 하나님은 그들이 자기들의 잘못을 뉘우치고 악한 길에서 돌아서는 것을 보시고 뜻을 돌이키셔서 그들에게 내리겠다고 선언하신 재앙을 내리지 않으셨다.

约拿遵命

耶和华的话再次临到约拿,说: “起来!到尼尼微大城去,向其中的居民宣告我所吩咐你的话。” 约拿就动身,照耶和华的话往尼尼微去了,这尼尼微是一座极大的城(“是一座极大的城”或译:“在 神面前是一座大城”),要三天才能走完。

尼尼微人悔改得救

约拿进城,走了一天,就宣告说:“再过四十天,尼尼微就要毁灭了。”

尼尼微人信了(“信了”或译:“信服”) 神,就宣告禁食,从大到小,都穿上麻衣。 这事传到尼尼微王那里,他就起来,离开宝座,脱去王袍,披上麻衣,坐在炉灰中。 他又传谕全尼尼微,说:“王和大臣有令:‘人、畜、牛、羊,都不准尝甚么,不准吃,也不准喝。 不论人畜,都要披上麻衣;各人要恳切呼求 神,悔改,离开恶行,摒弃手中的强暴。 或者 神回心转意,不发烈怒,使我们不致灭亡。’”

10  神看见他们所作的,就是悔改离开恶行, 神就转意,不把所说的灾祸降在他们身上了。

Jonah Goes to Nineveh

Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah(A) a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”

Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming,(B) “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.(C)

When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust.(D) This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles:

Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink.(E) But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call(F) urgently on God. Let them give up(G) their evil ways(H) and their violence.(I) Who knows?(J) God may yet relent(K) and with compassion turn(L) from his fierce anger(M) so that we will not perish.”

10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented(N) and did not bring on them the destruction(O) he had threatened.(P)

And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.

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.

So 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.

For 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.

And 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:

But 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.

Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

10 And 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.

사람이나 짐승이나 다 굵은 삼베를 걸칠 것이며 모든 사람들은 하나님께 진심으로 기도하고 각자 자기 잘못을 뉘우치고 악을 버려라.

하나님이 혹시 뜻을 돌이키시고 분노를 거두셔서 우리를 멸망시키지 않으실지 누가 알겠는가!”

10 하나님은 그들이 자기들의 잘못을 뉘우치고 악한 길에서 돌아서는 것을 보시고 뜻을 돌이키셔서 그들에게 내리겠다고 선언하신 재앙을 내리지 않으셨다.
