和合本

3:1 耶和華的話二次臨到約拿說:
3:2
「你起來!往尼尼微大城去,向其中的居民宣告我所吩咐你的話。」
3:3
約拿便照耶和華的話起來,往尼尼微去。這尼尼微是極大的城,有三日的路程。
3:4
約拿進城走了一日,宣告說:「再等四十日,尼尼微必傾覆了!」
3:5
尼尼微人信服神,便宣告禁食,從最大的到至小的都穿麻衣(或譯:披上麻布)。
3:6
這信息傳到尼尼微王的耳中,他就下了寶座,脫下朝服,披上麻布,坐在灰中。
3:7
他又使人遍告尼尼微通城,說:「王和大臣有令,人不可嘗甚麼,牲畜、牛羊不可吃草,也不可喝水。
3:8
人與牲畜都當披上麻布;人要切切求告神。各人回頭離開所行的惡道,丟棄手中的強暴。
3:9
或者神轉意後悔,不發烈怒,使我們不致滅亡,也未可知。」
3:10
於是神察看他們的行為,見他們離開惡道,他就後悔,不把所說的災禍降與他們了。

 

現代中文本

3:1 上主再一次向約拿說話。
3:2 他說:「你往尼尼微那大城去,向那裏的人宣告我吩咐你說的話。」
3:3 約拿服從上主的命令,就往尼尼微去。那是一座大城,需要三天的時間才走得完。
3:4 約拿進城,走了一天的路程,就宣告:「再過四十天,尼尼微城要被毀滅了!」
3:5 尼尼微城的人相信上帝的話。所以他們決定要禁食;城裏所有的人,無論大小,都披上麻布表示痛悔。
3:6 尼尼微王一聽見這消息,就離開寶座,脫下王袍,披上麻布,坐在灰中。
3:7 他向尼尼微人發出通告,說:「這是王和他的大臣頒佈的命令:人、牲畜、牛羊都不可吃東西;不准吃,也不准喝。
3:8 人和牲畜都要披上麻布。每一個人都必須懇切地向上帝祈禱,並且停止邪惡的行為,不做強暴的事。
3:9 也許上帝會因此改變他的心意,不再發怒,我們就不至於滅亡。」
3:10 上帝看到他們所做的一切,看到他們放棄了邪惡的行為,於是改變心意,沒有把他原先宣佈的災難降給他們。

 

思想問題: 最近神不斷提醒我哪些事,但我卻遲遲不願順服?約拿的順服告訴我什麼?

RSV

3:1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,
3:2
"Arise, go to Nin'eveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you."
3:3
So Jonah arose and went to Nin'eveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nin'eveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey in breadth.
3:4
Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he cried, "Yet forty days, and Nin'eveh shall be overthrown!"
3:5
And the people of Nin'eveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
3:6
Then tidings reached the king of Nin'eveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
3:7
And he made proclamation and published through Nin'eveh, "By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, or drink water,
3:8
but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them cry mightily to God; yea, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence which is in his hands.
3:9
Who knows, God may yet repent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we perish not?"
3:10
When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did not do it.
