| 1 | And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying: | Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἰωνᾶν ἐκ δευτέρου, λέγων, |
| 2 | Arise, and go to Ninive the great city: and preach in it the preaching that I bid thee. | ἀνάστηθι, πορεύθητι εἰς Νινευὴ τὴν πόλιν τὴν μεγάλην; καὶ κήρυξον ἐν αὐτῇ κατὰ τὸ κήρυγμα τὸ ἔμπροσθεν, ὃ ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα πρὸς σέ. |
| 3 | And Jonas arose, and went to Ninive, according to the word of the Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days’ journey. | Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰωνᾶς, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Νινευὴ, καθὰ ἐλάλησε Κύριος· ἡ δὲ Νινευὴ ἦν πόλις μεγάλη τῷ Θεῷ, ὡσεὶ πορείας ὁδοῦ τριῶν ἡμερῶν· |
| 4 | And Jonas began to enter into the city one day’s journey: and he cried, and said: Yet forty days, and Ninive shall be destroyed. | καὶ ἤρξατο Ἰωνᾶς τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ὡσεὶ πορείαν ἡμέρας μιᾶς· καὶ ἐκήρυξε, καὶ εἶπεν, ἔτι τρεῖς ἡμέραι, καὶ Νινευὴ καταστραφήσεται. |
| 5 | And the men of Ninive believed in God: and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least. | Καὶ ἐπίστευσαν οἱ ἄνδρες Νινευὴ τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ ἐκήρυξαν νηστείαν, καὶ ἐνεδύσαντο σάκκους ἀπὸ μεγάλου αὐτῶν ἕως μικροῦ αὐτῶν. |
| 6 | And the word came to the king of Ninive; and he rose up out of his throne, and cast away his robe from him, and was clothed with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. | Καὶ ἤγγισεν ὁ λόγος πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα τῆς Νινευὴ, καὶ ἐξανέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιείλατο τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ ἀφʼ ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ σποδοῦ. |
| 7 | And he caused it to be proclaimed and published in Ninive from the mouth of the king and of his princes, saying: Let neither men nor beasts, oxen nor sheep, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water. | Καὶ ἐκηρύχθη, καὶ ἐῤῥέθη ἐν τῇ Νινευὴ παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ παρὰ τῶν μεγιστάνων αὐτοῦ, λέγων, οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ τὰ κτήνη, καὶ οἱ βόες, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα μὴ γευσάσθωσαν, μηδὲ νεμέσθωσαν, μηδὲ ὕδωρ πιέτωσαν. |
| 8 | And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and cry to the Lord with all their strength, and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands. | Καὶ περιεβάλλοντο σάκκους οἱ ἄνθρωποι καὶ τὰ κτήνη, καὶ ἀνεβόησαν πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν ἐκτενῶς· καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτῶν τῆς πονηρᾶς, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀδικίας τῆς ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν, λέγοντες, |
| 9 | Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive: and will turn away from his fierce anger, and we shall not perish? | τίς οἶδεν εἰ μετανοήσει ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἐξ ὀργῆς θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀπολώμεθα; |
| 10 | And God saw their works, that they were turned from their evil way: and God had mercy with regard to the evil which he had said that he would do to them, and he did it not. | Καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεὸς τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτῶν τῶν πονηρῶν, καὶ μετενόησεν ὁ Θεὸς ἐπὶ τῇ κακίᾳ, ᾗ ἐλάλησε τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησε. |
