尼尼微人相信神,便宣告禁食,从最大的到至小的都披上麻布。
所以尼尼微的人民就相信了神,并且宣告了一个禁食,从最大的甚至到最小的,都披上了麻布。
尼尼微人信服 神,便宣告禁食,从最大的到至小的都穿麻衣(或译:披上麻布)。
So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

这信息传到尼尼微王的耳中,他就下了宝座,脱下朝服,披上麻布,坐在灰中。
因这话来到尼尼微的王那里,他就从王座上起来,他脱下他的外袍,并披上麻布,又坐在灰里。
这信息传到尼尼微王的耳中,他就下了宝座,脱下朝服,披上麻布,坐在灰中。
For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

他又使人宣告并传给尼尼微通城,说,王和大臣有令,人不能尝什么,牲畜、牛羊不能吃草,也不能喝水。
然后他就通过王和贵族们的政令,致使这事被宣告和公布给了整个尼尼微,说,让人或兽,牛群或羊群,不能尝任何东西;让他们不喂食,也不喝水;
他又使人遍告尼尼微通城,说:“王和大臣有令,人不可尝什么,牲畜、牛羊不可吃草,也不可喝水。
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:

人与牲畜都当披上麻布;人要切切求告神。各人回头离开所行的恶道,丢弃手中的强暴。
而且让人和兽都要披上麻布,并且要大力地向神呼喊;是的,让他们都转离各自的坏道路,又转离他们自己手里的暴力。
人与牲畜都当披上麻布;人要切切求告 神。各人回头离开所行的恶道,丢弃手中的强暴。
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
- 9
或许神转意后悔,不发烈怒,使我们不致灭亡,谁知道呢?
谁知道或许神会回转并后悔,又转身不发他猛烈地气愤,使我们不灭亡呢?
或者 神转意后悔,不发烈怒,使我们不致灭亡,也未可知。”
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
- 10
于是神察看他们的行为,见他们离开恶道,他就后悔,不把所说的灾祸降与他们了。
然后神看见了他们的工作,就是他们从自己的坏道路转离;神就后悔这坏事,就是他说过的,他会对他们做的;他就没有做这事。
于是 神察看他们的行为,见他们离开恶道,他就后悔,不把所说的灾祸降与他们了。
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
