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
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Conversion of Nineveh
3 The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,(A) 2 “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three days’ walk across. 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s walk. And he cried out, “Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 And the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth.(B)
6 When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.(C) 7 Then he had a proclamation made in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: No human or animal, no herd or flock, shall taste anything. They shall not feed, nor shall they drink water.(D) 8 Humans and animals shall be covered with sackcloth, and they shall cry mightily to God. All shall turn from their evil ways and from the violence that is in their hands.(E) 9 Who knows? God may relent and change his mind; he may turn from his fierce anger, so that we do not perish.”(F)
10 When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them, and he did not do it.(G)
Jonah 3
New International Version
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)
