WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 I dođe reč Gospodnja Joni drugi put govoreći:
1 Yahweh’s word came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Ustani, i idi u Nineviju grad veliki, i propovedaj mu ono što ti ja kažem.
2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you.”
3 I ustav Jona otide u Nineviju po reči Gospodnjoj; a Ninevija beše grad vrlo velik, tri dana hoda.
3 So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to Yahweh’s word. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey across.
4 I Jona poče ići po gradu jedan dan hoda, i propoveda i reče: Jošte četrdeset dana, pa će Ninevija propasti.
4 Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”
5 I Ninevljani poverovaše Bogu, i oglasiše post, i obukoše se u kostret od najvećeg do najmanjeg.
5 The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least.
6 Jer kad dođe ta reč do cara ninevijskog, on usta sa svog prestola, i skide sa sebe svoje odelo, i obuče se u kostret i sede u pepeo.
6 The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 I proglasi se i kaza se po Nineviji po zapovesti carevoj i knezova njegovih govoreći: Ljudi i stoka, goveda i ovce da ne okuse ništa, ni da pasu ni da piju vode.
7 He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
8 Nego i ljudi i stoka da se pokriju kostreću, i da prizivaju Boga jako, i da se vrati svaki sa svog zlog puta i od nepravde koja mu je u ruku.
8 but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
9 Ko zna, eda se povrati i raskaje Bog i povrati se od ljutog gneva svog, te ne izginemo.
9 Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?”
10 I Bog vide dela njihova, gde se vratiše sa zlog puta svog; i raskaja se Bog oda zla koje reče da im učini, i ne učini.
10 God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn’t do it.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 3:8 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter XVII)

    … wrought in Jonah's case, as the Scripture says of them, "And they returned each from his evil way, and the unrighteousness which was in their hands, saying, Who knoweth if God will repent, and turn away His anger from us, and we shall not perish?" --so also, from the beginning, did God permit man to be swallowed up by the …

  2. Quotes verse 3:4 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVIII, Chapter 43)

    But some one may say, "How shall I know whether the prophet Jonah said to the Ninevites, Yet three days and Nineveh shall be overthrown,' or forty days?" For who does not see that the prophet could not say both, when he was sent to terrify the city by the threat of imminent ruin?
