Jonah 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying:	1 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς Ιωναν εκ δευτερου, λεγων,
2 Rise, and go to Nineveh, the great city. And preach in it the preaching that I say to you.	2 Σηκωθητι, υπαγε εις Νινευη, την πολιν την μεγαλην, και κηρυξον προς αυτην το κηρυγμα, το οποιον εγω λαλω προς σε.
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 Και εσηκωθη ο Ιωνας και υπηγεν εις Νινευη κατα τον λογον του Κυριου. Η δε Νινευνη ητο πολις μεγαλη σφοδρα, οδου τριων ημερων?
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 Και ηρχισεν ο Ιωνας να διερχηται εις την πολιν οδον μιας ημερας και εκηρυξε και ειπεν, Ετι τεσσαρακοντα ημεραι και η Νινευη θελει καταστραφη.
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 Και οι ανδρες της Νινευη επιστευσαν εις τον Θεον και εκηρυξαν νηστειαν και ενεδυθησαν σακκους απο μεγαλου αυτων εως μικρου αυτων?
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 διοτι ο λογος ειχε φθασει προς τον βασιλεα της Νινευη και εσηκωθη απο του θρονου αυτου και αφηρεσε την στολην αυτου επανωθεν εαυτου και εσκεπασθη με σακκον και εκαθησεν επι σποδου.
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 Και διεκηρυχθη και εγνωστοποιηθη εν τη Νινευη δια ψηφισματος του βασιλεως και των μεγιστανων αυτου και ελαληθη, οι ανθρωποι και τα κτηνη, οι βοες και τα προβατα, να μη γευθωσι μηδεν, μηδε να βοσκησωσι, μηδε υδωρ να πιωσιν?
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 αλλ' ανθρωπος και κτηνος να σκεπασθωσι με σακκους και να φωναξωσιν ισχυρως προς τον Θεον? και ας επιστρεψωσιν εκαστος απο της οδου αυτου της πονηρας και απο της αδικιας, ητις ειναι εν ταις χερσιν αυτων.
9 Who knows if God may turn and forgive, and may turn away from his furious wrath, so that we might not perish?”	9 Τις εξευρει αν επιστρεψη και μεταμεληθη ο Θεος και επιστρεψη απο της οργης του θυμου αυτου και δεν απολεσθωμεν;
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 Και ειδεν ο Θεος τα εργα αυτων, οτι επεστρεψαν απο της οδου αυτων της πονηρας? και μετεμεληθη ο Θεος περι του κακου, το οποιον ειπε να καμη εις αυτους? και δεν εκαμεν αυτο.
