Jonah 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying:	1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ionam secundo dicens:
2 Rise, and go to Nineveh, the great city. And preach in it the preaching that I say to you.	2 “ Surge, vade in Nineven civitatem magnam et praedica in ea praedicationem,quam ego loquor ad te ”.
3 And Jonah rose, and he went to Nineveh in accordance with the word of the Lord. And Nineveh was a great city of three days’ journey.	3 Et surrexit Ionas et abiit in Nineven iuxta verbumDomini. Et Nineve erat civitas magna coram Deo, itinere trium dierum.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city one day’s journey. And he cried out and said, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed.”	4 Et coepit Ionasintroire in civitatem itinere diei unius; et clamavit et dixit: “ Adhucquadraginta dies, et Nineve subvertetur ”.
5 And the men of Nineveh believed in God. And they proclaimed a fast, and they put on sackcloth, from the greatest all the way to the least.	5 Et crediderunt viri Ninevitae in Deo; et praedicaverunt ieiunium et vestitisunt saccis a maiore usque ad minorem.
6 And word reached the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne, and he threw off his robe from himself and was clothed in sackcloth, and he sat in ashes.	6 Et pervenit verbum ad regem Nineve; etsurrexit de solio suo et abiecit pallium suum a se et indutus est sacco et seditin cinere.
7 And he cried out and spoke: “In Nineveh, from the mouth of the king and of his princes, let it be said: Men and beasts and oxen and sheep may not taste anything. Neither shall they feed or drink water.	7 Et clamavit et dixit in Nineve decreto regis et principum eiusdicens: “ Homines et iumenta et boves et pecora non gustent quidquam necpascantur et aquam non bibant;
8 And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and let them cry out to the Lord with strength, and may man be converted from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands.	8 et operiantur saccis homines et iumenta etclament ad Deum in fortitudine, et convertatur vir a via sua mala et aviolentia, quae est in manibus eorum.
9 Who knows if God may turn and forgive, and may turn away from his furious wrath, so that we might not perish?”	9 Quis scit si convertatur et ignoscatDeus et revertatur a furore irae suae, et non peribimus? ”.
10 And God saw their works, that they had been converted from their evil way. And God took pity on them, concerning the harm that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.	10 Et vidit Deus opera eorum, quia conversi sunt de via sua mala; et misertusest Deus super malum, quod lo cutus fuerat ut faceret eis, et non fecit.
