Jonás 3
1 Y fue palabra de Jehová segunda vez a Jonás, diciendo:
And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,
2 Levántate, y vé a Nínive aquella gran ciudad, y pregona en ella el pregón que yo te diré.
Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to you of.
3 Y levantóse Jonás, y fue a Nínive, conforme a la palabra de Jehová. Y Nínive era ciudad grande en gran manera, de tres días de camino.
And Jonas arose, and went to Nineve, as the Lord had spoken. Now Nineve was an exceeding great city, of about three days' journey.
4 Y comenzó Jonás a entrar por la ciudad camino de un día, y pregonaba, diciendo: De aquí a cuarenta días Nínive será destruida.
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.
5 Y los varones de Nínive creyeron a Dios; y pregonaron ayuno, y vistiéronse de sacos, desde el mayor de ellos hasta el menor de ellos.
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.
6 Y llegó el negocio hasta el rey de Nínive, y levantóse de su trono, y echó de sí su vestido, y cubrióse de saco, y asentóse sobre ceniza.
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.
7 E hizo pregonar, y decir: En Nínive, por mandado del rey, y de sus grandes, diciendo: Hombres y animales, bueyes y ovejas, no gusten cosa, ni se les dé pasto, ni beban agua.
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.
8 Y los hombres, y los animales se cubran de sacos, y clamen a Dios fuertemente; y cada uno se convierta de su mal camino, de la rapiña que está en sus manos.
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,
9 ¿Quién sabe si se convertirá, y se arrepentirá Dios; y se convertirá del furor de su ira, y no pereceremos?
Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and [so] we shall not perish?
10 Y vio Dios lo que hicieron, porque se convirtieron de su mal camino; y arrepintióse del mal que había dicho que les había de hacer, y no lo hizo.
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.
