Jonah 3
King James Version
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.

Jona i Nineve
3 Herrens ord kom till Jona för andra gången:
2 ”Ge dig iväg, gå till den stora staden Nineve, och förkunna för dem vad jag ger dig att säga.” 3 Jona gav sig i väg och gick till Nineve så som Herren hade sagt.
Nineve var en väldig stad inför Gud. Det tog tre dagar att gå genom den. 4 Jona gick till staden, gick genom den under en dag och predikade: ”Om fyrtio dagar ska Nineve förstöras!” 5 Nineves befolkning trodde Gud och utlyste en fasta. Alla, från den störste till den minste, klädde sig i säcktyg.
6 När nyheterna nådde fram till kungen i Nineve steg denne ner från sin tron, tog av sig sin mantel, klädde sig i säcktyg och satte sig på bara marken. 7 Sedan gick det ut ett påbud i Nineve på kungens och hans stormäns befallning:
”Låt ingen, vare sig människa eller djur, nötboskap eller småboskap, smaka något, låt dem varken gå i bet eller dricka vatten. 8 Både människor och djur ska kläs i säcktyg, och var och en ska ropa högt till Gud och vända om från sina onda levnadssätt och sina våldshandlingar. 9 Vem vet? Kanske vill Gud då ångra sig, visa barmhärtighet och hålla tillbaka sin glödande vrede, så att vi inte går under.”
10 När Gud såg vad de gjorde, hur de vände om från sina onda levnadssätt, visade han barmhärtighet. Gud ångrade det onda han hade hotat dem med och fullföljde det inte.

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)
