3:1

καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ιωναν ἐκ δευτέρου λέγων

And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying:

耶和華的話第二次臨到約拿，說：

3:2

ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύθητι εἰς Νινευη τὴν πόλιν τὴν μεγάλην καὶ κήρυξον ἐν αὐτῇ κατὰ τὸ κήρυγμα τὸ ἔμπροσθεν ὃ ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα πρὸς σέ

Rise up and go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim in it according to the earlier proclamation that I spoke to you.

「你起來，往尼尼微大城去，照著我先前吩咐你的話，在那城中宣告。」

3:3

καὶ ἀνέστη Ιωνας καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Νινευη καθὼς ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἡ δὲ Νινευη ἦν πόλις μεγάλη τῷ θεῷ ὡσεὶ πορείας ὁδοῦ ἡμερῶν τριῶν

And Jonah rose up and went to Nineveh, as the Lord had spoken. Now Nineveh was a city great to God, about a journey of three days.

約拿就起來，照耶和華的話往尼尼微去。尼尼微在神看來是一座大城，約有三日的路程。

3:4

καὶ ἤρξατο Ιωνας τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ὡσεὶ πορείαν ἡμέρας μιᾶς καὶ ἐκήρυξεν καὶ εἶπεν ἔτι τρεῖς ἡμέραι καὶ Νινευη καταστραφήσεται

And Jonah began to go into the city, about one day's journey, and he proclaimed and said, "Three more days and Nineveh will be overthrown!"

約拿進城走了約一日的路程，就宣告說：「再過三日，尼尼微必傾覆了！」

3:5

καὶ ἐνεπίστευσαν οἱ ἄνδρες Νινευη τῷ θεῷ καὶ ἐκήρυξαν νηστείαν καὶ ἐνεδύσαντο σάκκους ἀπὸ μεγάλου αὐτῶν ἕως μικροῦ αὐτῶν

And the men of Nineveh believed God, and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.

尼尼微人就信服神，宣告禁食，從最大的到最小的都披上麻布。

3:6

καὶ ἤγγισεν ὁ λόγος πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα τῆς Νινευη καὶ ἐξανέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ περιείλατο τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ σποδοῦ

And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he rose from his throne and took off his robe from himself and put on sackcloth and sat on ashes.

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。

3:7

καὶ ἐκηρύχθη καὶ ἐρρέθη ἐν τῇ Νινευη παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ παρὰ τῶν μεγιστάνων αὐτοῦ λέγων οἱ ἄνθρωποι καὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ οἱ βόες καὶ τὰ πρόβατα μὴ γευσάσθωσαν μηδὲν μηδὲ νεμέσθωσαν μηδὲ ὕδωρ πιέτωσαν

And it was proclaimed and announced in Nineveh by the king and by his nobles, saying: Let people and cattle and herds and flocks taste nothing, nor graze, nor drink water.

又有話從王和他大臣那裡宣告出來，傳遍尼尼微，說：「人、牲畜、牛群、羊群都不可嘗什麼，不可吃草，也不可喝水。」

3:8

καὶ περιεβάλοντο σάκκους οἱ ἄνθρωποι καὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ ἀνεβόησαν πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἐκτενῶς καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀδικίας τῆς ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν λέγοντες

And people and cattle put on sackcloth, and they cried out to God earnestly, and each turned back from his evil way and from the injustice in their hands, saying:

於是人和牲畜都披上麻布，並且切切地呼求神；各人都回頭離開所行的惡道，離開手中的不義，說：

3:9

τίς οἶδεν εἰ μετανοήσει ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἐξ ὀργῆς θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀπολώμεθα

Who knows whether God may relent and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we do not perish?

「誰知道神或者回心轉意，不再發烈怒，使我們不致滅亡呢？」

3:10

καὶ εἶδεν ὁ θεὸς τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν ὅτι ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτῶν τῶν πονηρῶν καὶ μετενόησεν ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ τῇ κακίᾳ ᾗ ἐλάλησεν τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν

And God saw their deeds, that they had turned back from their evil ways; and God relented concerning the disaster he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

神察看他們的行為，見他們回頭離開了所行的惡道，神就後悔，不把所說要降與他們的災禍降下了。
