Jonah 3

et factum est verbum Domini ad Ionam secundo dicens

And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

surge vade ad Nineven civitatem magnam et praedica in ea praedicationem quam ego loquor ad te

Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

et surrexit Iona et abiit in Nineven iuxta verbum Domini et Nineve erat civitas magna Dei itinere dierum trium

So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.

et coepit Iona introire in civitatem itinere diei unius et clamavit et dixit adhuc quadraginta dies et Nineve subvertetur

And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

et crediderunt viri ninevitae in Deo et praedicaverunt ieiunium et vestiti sunt saccis a maiore usque ad minorem

So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

et pervenit verbum ad regem Nineve et surrexit de solio suo et abiecit vestimentum suum a se et indutus est sacco et sedit in cinere

For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

et clamavit et dixit in Nineve ex ore regis et principum eius dicens homines et iumenta et boves et pecora non gustent quicquam nec pascantur et aquam non bibant

And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:

et operiantur saccis homines et iumenta et clament ad Dominum in fortitudine et convertatur vir a via sua mala et ab iniquitate quae est in manibus eorum

But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

quis scit si convertatur et ignoscat Deus et revertatur a furore irae suae et non peribimus

Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

et vidit Deus opera eorum quia conversi sunt a via sua mala et misertus est Deus super malitiam quam locutus fuerat ut faceret eis et non fecit

And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
