1And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 3So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. 4And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 5So 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.
6και ηγʼγιϲεν ο λογοϲ προϲ τον βαϲια τηϲ νινευηϲ και εξανεϲτη απο του θρονου αυτου · και περιειλατο την ϲτολην αυτου αφ εαυτου · και περιεβαλετο ϲακκον · και εκαθιϲεν επι ϲποδου · 7και εκηρυχθη και ερεθη εν τη νινευη παρα του βαϲιλεωϲ και παντων μεγιϲτανων αυτω λεγων · οι ανθρωποι και τα κτηνη · και οι βοαιϲ και τα προβατα · μη γευϲεϲθωϲαν μηδεν · μηδε νεμεϲθωϲαν μηδεν · μηδε υδωρ πινετωϲαν · 8και περιεβαλοντο ϲακκουϲ · οι ανθρωποι και τα κτηνη · και ανεβοηϲαν προϲ τον θν εκτενωϲ καιαπεϲτρεψαν εκαϲτοϲ απο τηϲ οδου αυτου τηϲ πονηραϲ · και απο τηϲ αδικιαϲ τηϲ ε χερϲιν αυτων λεγοντεϲ · 9τιϲ οιδεϲ̣ ει μετανοηϲι ο θϲ και αποϲτρεψει εξ οργηϲ θυμου αυτου · και ου μη απολωμεθα · 10και ειδεν ο θϲ τα εργα αυτων · οτι απεϲτρεψαν απο τω οδων αυτων > των πονηρων ˙ και μετενοηϲεν ο θϲ επι τη κακια η ελαληϲεν του ποιηϲε αυτοι · κ(αι) ουκ αιποιηϲεν ·
6For 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. 7And 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: 8But 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. 9Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10And 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.
