Jonah 3	Jonas 3
Jonah 3:1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,	Jonas 3:1 La parole de l`Éternel fut adressée à Jonas une seconde fois, en ces mots:
Jonah 3:2 Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and give it the word which I have given you.	Jonas 3:2 Lève-toi, va à Ninive, la grande ville, et proclames-y la publication que je t`ordonne!
Jonah 3:3 So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh as the Lord had said. Now Nineveh was a very great town, three days' journey from end to end.	Jonas 3:3 Et Jonas se leva, et alla à Ninive, selon la parole de l`Éternel. Or Ninive était une très grande ville, de trois jours de marche.
Jonah 3:4 And Jonah first of all went a day's journey into the town, and crying out said, In forty days destruction will overtake Nineveh.	Jonas 3:4 Jonas fit d`abord dans la ville une journée de marche; il criait et disait: Encore quarante jours, et Ninive est détruite!
Jonah 3:5 And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.	Jonas 3:5 Les gens de Ninive crurent à Dieu, ils publièrent un jeûne, et se revêtirent de sacs, depuis les plus grands jusqu`aux plus petits.
Jonah 3:6 And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.	Jonas 3:6 La chose parvint au roi de Ninive; il se leva de son trône, ôta son manteau, se couvrit d`un sac, et s`assit sur la cendre.
Jonah 3:7 And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:	Jonas 3:7 Et il fit faire dans Ninive cette publication, par ordre du roi et de ses grands; Que les hommes et les bête, les boeufs et les brebis, ne goûtent de rien, ne paissent point, et ne boivent point d`eau!
Jonah 3:8 And let man and beast be covered with haircloth, and let them make strong prayers to God: and let everyone be turned from his evil way and the violent acts of their hands.	Jonas 3:8 Que les hommes et les bêtes soient couverts de sacs, qu`ils crient à Dieu avec force, et qu`ils reviennent tous de leur mauvaise voie et des actes de violence dont leurs mains sont coupables!
Jonah 3:9 Who may say that God will not be turned, changing his purpose and turning away from his burning wrath, so that destruction may not overtake us?	Jonas 3:9 Qui sait si Dieu ne reviendra pas et ne se repentira pas, et s`il ne renoncera pas à son ardente colère, en sorte que nous ne périssions point?
Jonah 3:10 And God saw what they did, how they were turned from their evil way; and God's purpose was changed as to the evil which he said he would do to them, and he did it not.	Jonas 3:10 Dieu vit qu`ils agissaient ainsi et qu`ils revenaient de leur mauvaise voie. Alors Dieu se repentit du mal qu`il avait résolu de leur faire, et il ne le fit pas.
