Si Jonas sa Nineve
3 Muling sinabi ni Yahweh kay Jonas, 2 “Pumunta ka sa Lunsod ng Nineve at ipahayag mo ang mga ipinapasabi ko sa iyo.” 3 Nagpunta nga si Jonas sa Nineve. Malaki ang lunsod na ito; aabutin ng tatlong araw kung ito ay lalakarin. 4 Siya'y(A) pumasok sa lunsod. Pagkaraan ng maghapong paglalakad, malakas niyang ipinahayag, “Gugunawin ang Nineve pagkaraan ng apatnapung araw!” 5 Naniwala ang mga tagaroon sa pahayag na ito mula sa Diyos. Kaya, nag-ayuno silang lahat at nagdamit ng panluksa bilang tanda ng lubos na pagsisisi at pagtalikod sa kanilang mga kasalanan.
6 Nang mabalitaan ito ng hari ng Nineve, bumabâ siya sa kanyang trono, naghubad ng balabal, nagdamit ng panluksa at naupo sa abo. 7 At ipinasabi niya sa mga taga-Nineve, “Ito'y utos ng hari at ng kanyang mga pinuno. Walang dapat kumain ng anuman. Wala ring iinom, maging tao o hayop. 8 Lahat ng tao at hayop ay magdamit ng panluksa. Taimtim na manalangin sa Diyos ang bawat isa. Pagsisihan ng lahat ang nagawa nilang kasalanan at iwan ang masamang pamumuhay. 9 Baka sa paraang ito'y mapawi ang galit ng Diyos, magbago siya ng kanyang pasya at hindi na niya ituloy ang balak na pagpatay sa atin.”
10 Nakita ng Diyos ang kanilang pagtalikod sa kasamaan kaya hindi na niya pinarusahan ang mga ito tulad ng kanyang naunang sinabi.
Jonah 3
Darby Translation
3 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I shall bid thee.
3 And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
4 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 And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 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 anything: let them not feed, nor drink water;
8 and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Who knoweth but that God will turn and repent, and will 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 he would do unto them, and he did [it] not.
