Young's Literal Translation
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
Jonah a second time :
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
Jonah a second time ,
saying,
“Get
up!
Go to
the great city of
Nineveh
and proclaim to
it the message
that I give
you.”
`Rise,
go unto
Nineveh,
the great city ,
and proclaim unto
it the proclamation
that I am
speaking
unto
thee;'
This
time
Jonah got
up
and went
to
Nineveh, in
accordance
with
the word of the
LORD
. Now
Nineveh was
an
exceedingly
great city, requiring
a three-day
journey.
and
Jonah riseth,
and he
goeth
unto
Nineveh, according
to
the word of Jehovah
. And
Nineveh hath
been
a
great city before
God
, a journey of
three
days
.
On
the
first
day
of
his
journey,
Jonah set
out
into
the city and proclaimed
, “
Forty more
days and Nineveh will
be
overturned !”
And
Jonah beginneth
to
go
in
to
the city a
journey
of
one
day,
and proclaimeth
, and
saith,
`Yet
forty days --
and Nineveh is
overturned .'
And the Ninevites
believed
God .
They
proclaimed
a fast and dressed
in
sackcloth, from the
greatest of
them
to
the
least .
And the men
of
Nineveh
believe
in
God ,
and
proclaim
a fast ,
and put
on
sackcloth, from their
greatest even
unto
their
least ,
When
word reached
the king of Nineveh, he got
up
from his throne, took
off
his royal
robe, covered
himself
with
sackcloth, and sat
in
ashes .
seeing
the
word doth
come
unto
the king of Nineveh, and
he riseth
from his throne, and
removeth
his honourable
robe from
off
him
, and
spreadeth
out
sackcloth, and sitteth
on
the
ashes ,
Then
he issued
a
proclamation
in Nineveh :
“
By the
decree of the king and his nobles:
Let
no
man or
beast, herd or
flock ,
taste anything at
all.
They
must
not eat
or
drink .
and
he crieth
and
saith
in Nineveh by a
decree of the king and his great
ones,
saying,
`
Man and
beast, herd and
flock --
let
them
not
taste anything ,
let
them
not feed,
even
water
let
them
not
drink ;
Furthermore,
let both
man and beast be
covered
with
sackcloth
, and have
everyone
call out
earnestly
to
God .
Let each
one
turn from his evil ways
and from the violence in his
hands.
and
cover
themselves
`with'
sackcloth
let man and beast, and let
them
call unto
God mightily,
and
let them
turn back
each
from his evil way,
and from the violence that
`is'
in their
hands.
Who knows
? God
may
turn
and
relent;
He may
turn from His fierce
anger, so
that
we will
not perish. ”
Who knoweth
? He doth
turn back,
and
God
hath
repented,
and
hath
turned
back
from the
heat
of
His anger, and
we do
not perish. '
When
God saw
their actions—
that they had
turned from their evil ways—He
relented
from
the disaster
He had
threatened
to bring
upon
them.
And
God seeth
their works,
that they have
turned back
from their evil way,
and
God
repenteth
of
the evil
that
He spake
of
doing
to them ,
and
he
hath
not
done
`it'
.
