| 約拿書-Jonah 第 3 章 |
| 3:1 | 耶和華的話第二次臨到約拿，說， Then the word of Jehovah came to Jonah a second time, saying, |
| 3:2 | 起來，往尼尼微大城去，向那城的居民宣告我所要吩咐你宣告的話。 Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city; and proclaim to it the proclamation that I will speak to you. |
| 3:3 | 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，要三日才能走完。 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three days' journey in size. |
| 3:4 | 約拿進城走了一日，宣告說，再等四十日，尼尼微必傾覆了！ And Jonah began to go through the city a day's journey and cried out and said, Yet forty days and Nineveh will be overturned! |
| 3:5 | 尼尼微人信服神，便宣告禁食，從最大的到至小的都穿上麻衣。 And the men of Nineveh believed God, and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. |
| 3:6 | 這話傳到尼尼微王那裡，他就從寶座上起來，脫下朝服，披上麻布，坐在爐灰中。 And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne and put away his majestic clothes from him and covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. |
| 3:7 | 他又發出通告，使人在尼尼微城，憑王和大臣之令宣告說， And he issued a proclamation and declared in Nineveh by the decree of the king and his great men, saying, Let neither man nor beast nor herd nor flock taste anything; let them not feed, nor let them drink water. |
| 3:8 | 人和牲畜、牛羊，都不可嘗什麼；不可吃什麼，也不可喝水。人與牲畜都當披上麻布，人要切切呼求神。各人要回轉，離開惡的行徑，丟棄手中的強暴。 And let man and beast be covered in sackcloth, and let them call to God strongly. And let each turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. |
| 3:9 | 或者神轉意後悔，不發烈怒，使我們不至滅亡，也未可知。 Who knows whether God will turn and repent, and will turn from His burning anger so that we do not perish? |
| 3:10 | 於是神察看他們所作的，見他們回轉，離開惡的行徑，祂就後悔，不把所說的災禍降與他們了。 And God saw their deeds, that they turned from their evil way, and God repented for the evil that He said He would do to them; and He did not do it. |
