Jonás va a Nínive
3 El Señor habló por segunda vez a Jonás: 2 «Levántate y ve a la gran ciudad de Nínive y entrega el mensaje que te he dado».
3 Esta vez Jonás obedeció el mandato del Señor y fue a Nínive, una ciudad tan grande que tomaba tres días recorrerla toda.[a] 4 El día que Jonás entró en la ciudad, proclamó a la multitud: «Dentro de cuarenta días Nínive será destruida». 5 Entonces la gente de Nínive creyó el mensaje de Dios y desde el más importante hasta el menos importante declararon ayuno y se vistieron de tela áspera en señal de remordimiento.
6 Cuando el rey de Nínive oyó lo que Jonás decía, bajó de su trono y se quitó sus vestiduras reales. Se vistió de tela áspera y se sentó sobre un montón de cenizas. 7 Entonces el rey y sus nobles enviaron el siguiente decreto por toda la ciudad:
«Nadie puede comer ni beber nada, ni siquiera los animales de las manadas o de los rebaños. 8 Tanto el pueblo como los animales tienen que vestirse de luto y toda persona debe orar intensamente a Dios, apartarse de sus malos caminos y abandonar toda su violencia. 9 ¡Quién sabe!, puede ser que todavía Dios cambie de parecer, contenga su ira feroz y no nos destruya».
10 Cuando Dios vio lo que habían hecho y cómo habían abandonado sus malos caminos, cambió de parecer y no llevó a cabo la destrucción con que los había amenazado.

Jonah Goes to Nineveh
3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to (A)Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now (B)Nineveh was an exceedingly great city,[a] three days' journey in breadth.[b] 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 (C)And the people of Nineveh believed God. (D)They called for a fast and (E)put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
The People of Nineveh Repent
6 The word reached[c] the king of Nineveh, and (F)he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, (G)and sat in ashes. 7 And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, (H)“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor (I)beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, 8 but let man and (J)beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. (K)Let everyone turn from his evil way and from (L)the violence that is in his hands. 9 (M)Who knows? God may turn and relent (N)and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”
10 When God saw what they did, (O)how they turned from their evil way, (P)God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

3 And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
3 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.
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 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.
6 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.
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 any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
8 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.
9 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.

3 La parole de l'Éternel fut adressée à Jonas une seconde fois, en ces mots:
2 Lève-toi, va à Ninive, la grande ville, et proclames-y la publication que je t'ordonne!
3 Et Jonas se leva, et alla à Ninive, selon la parole de l'Éternel. Or Ninive était une très grande ville, de trois jours de marche.
4 Jonas fit d'abord dans la ville une journée de marche; il criait et disait: Encore quarante jours, et Ninive est détruite!
5 Les gens de Ninive crurent à Dieu, ils publièrent un jeûne, et se revêtirent de sacs, depuis les plus grands jusqu'aux plus petits.
6 La chose parvint au roi de Ninive; il se leva de son trône, ôta son manteau, se couvrit d'un sac, et s'assit sur la cendre.
7 Et il fit faire dans Ninive cette publication, par ordre du roi et de ses grands; Que les hommes et les bête, les boeufs et les brebis, ne goûtent de rien, ne paissent point, et ne boivent point d'eau!
8 Que les hommes et les bêtes soient couverts de sacs, qu'ils crient à Dieu avec force, et qu'ils reviennent tous de leur mauvaise voie et des actes de violence dont leurs mains sont coupables!
9 Qui sait si Dieu ne reviendra pas et ne se repentira pas, et s'il ne renoncera pas à son ardente colère, en sorte que nous ne périssions point?
10 Dieu vit qu'ils agissaient ainsi et qu'ils revenaient de leur mauvaise voie. Alors Dieu se repentit du mal qu'il avait résolu de leur faire, et il ne le fit pas.

Jonah Goes to Nineveh
3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah(A) a second time: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
3 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. 4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming,(B) “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.(C)
6 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) 7 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) 8 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) 9 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)
