1Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying,2“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.”3So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city,* three days’ journey in breadth.*4Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!”5And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
The People of Nineveh Repent
6The word reached* the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.7And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water,8but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.9Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”10When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

1耶和华第二次对约拿说：2“你起身前往尼尼微大城，向那里的居民宣告我先前吩咐你的话。”3约拿便照耶和华的吩咐前往尼尼微城。尼尼微城很大，要三天才能走遍。4约拿进城走了一天，宣告说：“再过四十天尼尼微就要毁灭了！”5尼尼微城的人相信了上帝的话，便宣告禁食，所有的人，无论大小贵贱都换上麻衣。6尼尼微王听到这消息后，便走下宝座，脱下王袍，披上麻衣，坐在炉灰中。7王又向全城颁布命令，说：“王和大臣有令，所有的人都必须禁食，牛羊牲畜都不许吃草也不许喝水。8人和牲畜都必须披上麻衣，众人要向上帝恳切呼求，改邪归正，停止作恶。9上帝或许会施怜悯，收回烈怒，使我们不致灭亡，也未可知。”10上帝看见他们改邪归正，不再作恶，就怜悯他们，没有像所说的那样毁灭他们。
