Iona 3
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
3 Cuvântul Domnului a vorbit a doua oară lui Iona astfel: 2 „Scoală-te, du-te la Ninive, cetatea cea mare, şi vesteşte acolo strigarea pe care ţi-o voi da!” 3 Şi Iona s-a sculat şi s-a dus la Ninive, după Cuvântul Domnului. Şi Ninive era o cetate foarte mare, cât o călătorie de trei zile. 4 Iona a început să pătrundă în oraş cale de o zi, strigând şi zicând(A): „Încă patruzeci de zile, şi Ninive va fi nimicită!” 5 Oamenii din Ninive au crezut(B) în Dumnezeu, au vestit un post şi s-au îmbrăcat cu saci, de la cei mai mari până la cei mai mici. 6 Lucrul a ajuns la urechea împăratului din Ninive; el s-a sculat de pe scaunul lui de domnie, şi-a scos mantia de pe el, s-a acoperit cu un sac şi a şezut în(C) cenuşă. 7 Şi a trimis să se dea de ştire(D) în Ninive, din porunca împăratului şi mai-marilor lui, următoarele: „Oamenii şi vitele, boii şi oile să nu guste nimic, să nu pască şi nici să nu bea apă deloc! 8 Ci oamenii şi vitele să se acopere cu saci, să strige cu putere către Dumnezeu şi să se întoarcă(E) de la calea lor cea rea şi de la faptele de asuprire(F) de care le sunt pline mâinile! 9 Cine(G) ştie dacă nu Se va întoarce Dumnezeu şi Se va căi şi dacă nu-Şi va opri mânia Lui aprinsă, ca să nu pierim!” 10 Dumnezeu a văzut(H) ce făceau ei şi că se întorceau de la calea lor cea rea. Atunci, Dumnezeu S-a căit de răul pe care se hotărâse să li-l facă şi nu l-a făcut.
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.
Jonah 3
English Standard Version
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.
