The Message Bible MSG
1 Vino palabra del SEÑOR por segunda vez a Jonás, diciendo:
1
Next, God spoke to Jonah a second time:
2 Levántate, ve a Nínive, la gran ciudad, y proclama en ella el mensaje que yo te diré.
2
"Up on your feet and on your way to the big city of Nineveh! Preach to them. They're in a bad way and I can't ignore it any longer."
3 Y Jonás se levantó y fue a Nínive conforme a la palabra del SEÑOR. Y Nínive era una ciudad sumamente grande , de un recorrido de tres días.
3
This time Jonah started off straight for Nineveh, obeying God's orders to the letter.
4 Jonás comenzó a recorrer la ciudad camino de un día, y proclamaba, diciendo: Dentro de cuarenta días Nínive será arrasada.
4
Jonah entered the city, went one day's walk and preached, "In forty days Nineveh will be smashed."
5 Y los habitantes de Nínive creyeron en Dios, y proclamaron ayuno y se vistieron de cilicio desde el mayor hasta el menor de ellos.
5
The people of Nineveh listened, and trusted God. They proclaimed a citywide fast and dressed in burlap to show their repentance. Everyone did it - rich and poor, famous and obscure, leaders and followers.
6 Cuando llegó la noticia al rey de Nínive, se levantó de su trono, se despojó de su manto, se cubrió de cilicio y se sentó sobre ceniza.
6
When the message reached the king of Nineveh, he got up off his throne, threw down his royal robes, dressed in burlap, and sat down in the dirt.
7 E hizo proclamar y anunciar en Nínive, por decreto del rey y de sus grandes, diciendo: Ni hombre ni bestia, ni buey ni oveja prueben cosa alguna; no pasten ni beban agua,
7
Then he issued a public proclamation throughout Nineveh, authorized by him and his leaders: "Not one drop of water, not one bite of food for man, woman, or animal, including your herds and flocks!
8 sino cúbranse de cilicio hombres y animales, y clamen a Dios con fuerza, y vuélvase cada uno de su mal camino y de la violencia que hay en sus manos.
8
Dress them all, both people and animals, in burlap, and send up a cry for help to God. Everyone must turn around, turn back from an evil life and the violent ways that stain their hands.
9 ¡Quién sabe! Quizá Dios se vuelva, se arrepienta y aparte el ardor de su ira, y no perezcamos.
9
Who knows? Maybe God will turn around and change his mind about us, quit being angry with us and let us live!"
10 Y vio Dios sus acciones, que se habían apartado de su mal camino; entonces se arrepintió Dios del mal que había dicho que les haría, y no lo hizo.
10
God saw what they had done, that they had turned away from their evil lives. He did change his mind about them. What he said he would do to them he didn't do.
