1A message from the LORD came to Jonah a second time. The LORD said,2‘Go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce to its people the message I give you.’3Jonah obeyed the LORD. He went to Nineveh. It was a very large city. In fact, it took about three days to go through it.4Jonah began by going one whole day into the city. As he went, he announced, ‘In 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed.’5The people of Nineveh believed God’s warning. So they decided not to eat any food for a while. And all of them put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad. That’s what everyone did, from the least important of them to the most important.6Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh. He got up from his throne. He took off his royal robes. He also dressed himself in the clothing of sadness. And then he sat down in the dust.7Here is the message he sent out to the people of Nineveh. ‘I and my nobles give this order. Don’t let people or animals taste anything. That includes your herds and flocks. People and animals must not eat or drink anything.8Let people and animals alike be covered with the clothing of sadness. All of you must call out to God with all your hearts. Stop doing what is evil. Don’t harm others.9Who knows? God might take pity on us. He might not be angry with us anymore. Then we won’t die.’10God saw what they did. He saw that they stopped doing what was evil. So he took pity on them. He didn’t destroy them as he had said he would.

Yunus Ninovalılar'a Sesleniyor
1RAB Yunus'a ikinci kez şöyle seslendi:2‹‹Kalk, Ninova'ya, o büyük kente git ve sana söyleyeceklerimi halka bildir.››3Yunus RAB'bin sözü uyarınca kalkıp Ninova'ya gitti. Ninova öyle büyük bir kentti ki, ancak üç günde dolaşılabilirdi.4Yunus kente girip dolaşmaya başladı. Bir gün geçince, ‹‹Kırk gün sonra Ninova yıkılacak!›› diye ilan etti.5Ninova halkı Tanrı'ya inandı. Oruç ilan ederek büyüğünden küçüğüne hepsi çula sarındı.6Ninova Kralı olanları duyunca, tahtından kalkıp kaftanını çıkardı; çula sarınarak küle oturdu.7Ardından Ninova'da şu buyruğu yayımladı: ‹‹Kral ve soyluların buyruğudur: Hiçbir insan ya da hayvan -ister sığır, ister davar olsun- ağzına bir şey koymayacak, otlamayacak, içmeyecek.8Bütün insanlar ve hayvanlar çula sarınsın. Herkes var gücüyle Tanrı'ya yakararak kötü yoldan, zorbalıktan vazgeçsin.9Belki o zaman Tanrı fikrini değiştirip bize acır, kızgın öfkesinden döner de yok olmayız.››10Tanrı Ninovalılar'ın yaptıklarını, kötü yoldan döndüklerini görünce, onlara acıdı, yapacağını söylediği kötülükten vazgeçti.
