1主の言葉が二度目にヨナに臨んだ。
1Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time:
2「立て。あの大きな町ニネベへ行き、私があなたに告げる言葉をそこで叫べ。」
2“Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message that I give you.”
3そこでヨナは立ち、主の言葉に従ってニネベへ行った。ニネベは非常に大きな町で、歩いて横切るのに三日かかるほどであった。
3This 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.
4ヨナは町に入り、一日分の道のりを進んで叫んだ。「あと四十日で、ニネベは滅ぼされる！」
4On the first day of his journey, Jonah set out into the city and proclaimed, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!”
5ニネベの人々は神を信じた。彼らは断食を布告し、身分の高い者から低い者まで粗布をまとった。
5And the Ninevites believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least.
6この知らせがニネベの王に届くと、王は王座から立ち上がり、王衣を脱ぎ、粗布をまとって灰の中に座った。
6When 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.
7王は貴族たちとともに、ニネベ中に布告を出した。「王とその貴族たちの命令である。人も家畜も、牛の群れも羊の群れも、何一つ口にしてはならない。草を食べさせても、水を飲ませてもならない。
7Then 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.
8人も家畜も粗布をまとい、力の限り神に叫び求めよ。それぞれ悪い道を離れ、その手で行う暴虐を捨てよ。
8Furthermore, 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.
9もしかすると神は思い直し、燃える怒りを収め、われわれは滅びずに済むかもしれない。」
9Who knows? God may turn and relent; He may turn from His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.”
10神は彼らの行い、すなわち彼らが悪い道から立ち返ったことをご覧になった。そこで神は彼らに災いを下すと告げていたが、それを思い直し、行われなかった。
10When God saw their actions—that they had turned from their evil ways—He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them.
