یونس 3
| پس کلام خداوند بار دوم بر یونس نازل شده، گفت: | ۱ 1 |
And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
| «برخیز و به نینوا شهر بزرگ برو و آن وعظ را که من به تو خواهم گفت به ایشان ندا کن.» | ۲ 2 |
Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to thee of.
| آنگاه یونس برخاسته، برحسب فرمان خداوند به نینوا رفت و نینوا شهر بزرگ بود که مسافت سه روز داشت. | ۳ 3 |
And Jonas arose, and went to Nineve, as the Lord had spoken. Now Nineve was an exceeding great city, of about three days' journey.
| و یونس به مسافت یک روز داخل شهر شده، به ندا کردن شروع نمود وگفت بعد از چهل روز نینوا سرنگون خواهد شد. | ۴ 4 |
And Jonas began to enter into the city about a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said, Yet three days, and Nineve shall be overthrown.
| و مردمان نینوا به خدا ایمان آوردند و روزه راندا کرده، از بزرگ تا کوچک پلاس پوشیدند. | ۵ 5 |
And the men of Nineve believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloths, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
| و چون پادشاه نینوا از این امر اطلاع یافت، ازکرسی خود برخاسته، ردای خود را از برکند وپلاس پوشیده، بر خاکستر نشست. | ۶ 6 |
And the word reached the king of Nineve, and he arose from off his throne, and took off his raiment from him, and put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.
| و پادشاه واکابرش فرمان دادند تا در نینوا ندا در‌دادند وامرفرموده، گفتند که «مردمان و بهایم و گاوان وگوسفندان چیزی نخورند و نچرند و آب ننوشند. | ۷ 7 |
And proclamation was made, and it was commanded in Nineve by the king an by his great men, saying, Let not men, or cattle, or oxen, or sheep, taste [any thing], nor feed, nor drink water.
| و مردمان و بهایم به پلاس پوشیده شوند و نزدخدا بشدت استغاثه نمایند و هرکس از راه بدخود و از ظلمی که در دست او است بازگشت نماید. | ۸ 8 |
So men and cattle were clothed with sackcloths, and cried earnestly to God; and they turned every one from their evil way, and from the iniquity that was in their hands, saying,
| کیست بداند که شاید خدا برگشته، پشیمان شود و از حدت خشم خود رجوع نمایدتا هلاک نشویم.» | ۹ 9 |
Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
| پس چون خدا اعمال ایشان را دید که از راه زشت خود بازگشت نمودند، آنگاه خدا از بلایی که گفته بود که به ایشان برساند پشیمان گردید وآن را بعمل نیاورد. | ۱۰ 10 |
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil ways; and God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did [it] not.
