И бы'сть сло'во гн~е къ і^ѓ'нњ второ'е, гл~я,

¹

And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying,

²

въста'ни і^ и^ди` в# ниневїю граD вели'кїи и^ проповњждь в немъ по проповњда'нїю прь'вомђ е^же а^зъ рњхъ к тебњ”

²

Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the former preaching which I spoke to thee of.

³

И$ въста` і^ѓ'на и^ вниде въ нинев#вїю ја%коже гл~а г~ь” Нинев#вїи же бња'ше гра'дъ вели'къ б~ђ ја%коже трїи дн~ъ пђть.

³

And Jonas arose, and went to Nineve, as the Lord had spoken. Now Nineve was an exceeding great city, of about three days' journey.

⁴

и^ нача` і^ѓ'на въходи'ти въ градъ ја%ко хожде'нїе дн~и е^ді'наго. и^ проповњда` и^ рече, е^ще три дн~їе, и^ нинев#вїи расы'плется”

⁴

And Jonas began to enter into the city about a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said, Yet three days, and Nineve shall be overthrown.

⁵

И$ вњ'роваша мђжїе нинев#виTстїи бв~и. и^ ꙁаповњда'ша а^лка'нїе, и^ ѓ^блеко'шася въ врњтища эT малыX и^ до вели'кихъ”

⁵

And the men of Nineve believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloths, from the greatest of them to the least of them.

⁶

И$ до'иде сло'во до цр~я нинев#ви'т#ска. и^ въста съ стола` свое^го, и^ све'рже ри'ꙁы своя с# себе, и^ ѓ^блече'ся въ врњтище и^ сњде на земли`.

⁶

And the word reached the king of Nineve, and he arose from off his throne, and took off his raiment from him, and put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.

⁷

и^ заповњдася и^ рече эT цр~я в# нинев#вїи и^ эT дрђговъ е^го, гл~юще” чл~цы, и^ ско'т#, говяда, и^ ѓ^вца да не вкђсятъ ничесо'же” ни да пасTђся ни воды` да пїютъ.

⁷

And proclamation was made, and it was commanded in Nineve by the king and by his great men, saying, Let not men, or cattle, or oxen, or sheep, taste any thing, nor feed, nor drink water.

⁸

и^ ѓ^блекошася въ врњтища чл~цы же и^ ско'ти, и^ възᲆпи'ша къ б~ђ продлъжа'юще. и^ ѓ^брати'ся кожDо эT пђти` злобы своея и^ эT непра'вды ја^же в рђкђ е^го, гл~ще.

⁸

So men and cattle were clothed with sackcloths, and cried earnestly to God; and they turned every one from their evil way, and from the iniquity that was in their hands, saying,

⁹

кт^о вњсть раска'ет ли ся, и^л^и ё^молится б~ъ, и^ эTврати'тъ гнњвъ ја%рости своея, да не поги'бнемъ”

⁹

Who knows if God will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, and so we shall not perish?

¹⁰

И$ ви'дњ б~ъ дњлеса` и^хъ, ја%ко ѓ^брати'шася эT пђтїи свои^хъ злы'хъ” и^ раска'яся б~ъ ѓ^ злобњ ю'же гл~а сътори'ти и^мъ и^ не сътвори`”

¹⁰

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