¹

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

¹

И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко і҆ѡ́нѣ втори́цею гл҃ѧ:

²

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

²

воста́ни и҆ и҆дѝ въ нїнеѵі́ю гра́дъ вели́кїй, и҆ проповѣ́ждь въ не́мъ по про́повѣди пре́ждней, ю҆́же а҆́зъ гл҃ахъ тебѣ̀.

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.

³

И҆ воста̀ і҆ѡ́на и҆ и҆́де въ нїнеѵі́ю, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь. Нїнеѵі́а же бѧ́ше гра́дъ вели́къ бг҃ꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ше́ствїѧ пꙋтѝ трїе́хъ дні́й.

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.

⁴

И҆ нача́тъ і҆ѡ́на входи́ти во гра́дъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ше́ствїе пꙋтѝ днѐ є҆ди́нагѡ, и҆ проповѣ́да и҆ речѐ: є҆щѐ трѝ дни̑, и҆ нїнеѵі́а преврати́тсѧ.

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.

⁵

И҆ вѣ́роваша мꙋ́жїе нїнеѵі́йстїи бг҃ови, и҆ заповѣ́даша по́стъ, и҆ ѡ҆блеко́шасѧ во врє́тища ѿ вели́ка и҆́хъ да́же до ма́ла и҆́хъ.

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.

⁶

И҆ до́йде сло́во ко царю̀ нїнеѵі́йскомꙋ, и҆ воста̀ съ престо́ла своегѡ̀ и҆ све́рже ри̑зы своѧ̑ съ себє̀, и҆ ѡ҆блече́сѧ во вре́тище и҆ сѣ́де на пе́пелѣ.

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.

⁷

И҆ проповѣ́дасѧ и҆ рече́но бы́сть въ нїнеѵі́и ѿ царѧ̀ и҆ вельмо́жъ є҆гѡ̀ глаго́лющихъ: человѣ́цы и҆ ско́ти, и҆ воло́ве и҆ ѻ҆́вцы да не вкꙋ́сѧтъ ничесѡ́же, ни да пасꙋ́тсѧ, нижѐ воды̀ да пїю́тъ.

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,

⁸

И҆ ѡ҆блеко́шасѧ во врє́тища человѣ́цы и҆ ско́ти и҆ возопи́ша прилѣ́жнѡ къ бг҃ꙋ, и҆ возврати́сѧ кі́йждо ѿ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀ лꙋка́вагѡ и҆ ѿ непра́вды сꙋ́щїѧ въ рꙋка́хъ и҆́хъ, глаго́люще:

⁹

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

⁹

кто̀ вѣ́сть, а҆́ще раска́етсѧ и҆ оу҆моле́нъ бꙋ́детъ бг҃ъ, и҆ ѡ҆брати́тсѧ ѿ гнѣ́ва ꙗ҆́рости своеѧ̀, и҆ не поги́бнемъ;

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.

¹⁰

И҆ ви́дѣ бг҃ъ дѣла̀ и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брати́шасѧ ѿ пꙋті́й свои́хъ лꙋка́выхъ, и҆ раска́ѧсѧ бг҃ъ ѡ҆ ѕлѣ̀, є҆́же гл҃аше сотвори́ти и҆̀мъ, и҆ не сотворѝ.
