3 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah a second time, saying,

² `Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it the proclamation that I am speaking unto thee;'

³ and Jonah riseth, and he goeth unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. And Nineveh hath been a great city before God, a journey of three days.

⁴ And Jonah beginneth to go in to the city a journey of one day, and proclaimeth, and saith, `Yet forty days -- and Nineveh is overturned.'

⁵ And the men of Nineveh believe in God, and proclaim a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even unto their least,

¹⁰ And God seeth their works, that they have turned back from their evil way, and God repenteth of the evil that He spake of doing to them, and he hath not done [it].

⁵ Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my hope.

⁶ Only -- He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

⁷ On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.

⁸ Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.

⁹ Only -- vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter.

¹⁰ Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth -- when it increaseth -- set not the heart.

¹¹ Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength [is] with God.'

¹² And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!

²⁹ And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened -- that both those having wives may be as not having;

³⁰ and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;

³¹ and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for passing away is the fashion of this world.

¹⁴ And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,

¹⁵ and saying -- `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'

¹⁶ And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,

¹⁷ and Jesus said to them, `Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;'

¹⁸ and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.

¹⁹ And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,

²⁰ and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.
