Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time:
【拿3:2】 你起来，往尼尼微大城去，向其中的居民宣告我所吩咐你的话。
'Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.'
【拿3:3】 约拿便照耶和华的话起来，往尼尼微去。这尼尼微是极大的城，有三日的路程。
Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very important city-a visit required three days.
【拿3:4】 约拿进城走了一日，宣告说，再等四十日，尼尼微必倾覆了。
On the first day, Jonah started into the city. He proclaimed: 'Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned.'
【拿3:5】 尼尼微人信服神，便宣告禁食，从最大的到至小的，都穿麻衣（或作披上麻布）。
The Ninevites believed God. They declared a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.
【拿3:6】 这信息传到尼尼微王的耳中，他就下了宝座，脱下朝服，披上麻布，坐在灰中。
When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust.
【拿3:7】 他又使人遍告尼尼微通城，说，王和大臣有令，人不可尝什么，牲畜，牛羊不可吃草，也不可喝水。
Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh: 'By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let any man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink.
【拿3:8】 人与牲畜都当披上麻布，人要切切求告神。各人回头离开所行的恶道，丢弃手中的强暴。
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence.
【拿3:9】 或者神转意后悔，不发烈怒，使我们不至灭亡，也未可知。
Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.'
【拿3:10】 于是神察看他们的行为，见他们离开恶道，他就后悔，不把所说的灾祸降与他们了。
When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened.
