約拿書 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1耶和華的話二次臨到 約拿 說：
1And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying:
2「你起來！往 尼尼微 大城去，向其中的居民宣告我所吩咐你的話。」
2Arise, and go to Ninive the great city: and preach in it the preaching that I bid thee.
3約拿 便照耶和華的話起來，往 尼尼微 去。這 尼尼微 是極大的城，有三日的路程。
3And Jonas arose, and went to Ninive, according to the word of the Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days’ journey.
4約拿 進城走了一日，宣告說：「再等四十日， 尼尼微 必傾覆了！」
4And Jonas began to enter into the city one day’s journey: and he cried, and said: Yet forty days, and Ninive shall be destroyed.
5尼尼微 人信服上帝，便宣告禁食，從最大的到至小的都穿麻衣。
5And the men of Ninive believed in God: and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least.
6這信息傳到 尼尼微 王的耳中，他就下了寶座，脫下朝服，披上麻布，坐在灰中。
6And 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.
7他又使人遍告 尼尼微 通城，說：「王和大臣有令，人不可嘗甚麼，牲畜、牛羊不可吃草，也不可喝水。
7And 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.
8人與牲畜都當披上麻布；人要切切求告上帝。各人回頭離開所行的惡道，丟棄手中的強暴。
8And 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.
9或者上帝轉意後悔，不發烈怒，使我們不致滅亡，也未可知。」
9Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive: and will turn away from his fierce anger, and we shall not perish?
10於是上帝察看他們的行為，見他們離開惡道，他就後悔，不把所說的災禍降與他們了。
10And 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.
