- માણસ તથા પશુ બન્નેએ શોક વસ્ત્ર ધારણ કરી, મોટે સાદે ઈશ્વરને પોકારે. દરેક પોતાના દુષ્ટ આચરણ તજે અને જોરજુલમ કરવાનું બંધ કરે.

- और मनुष्य और पशु दोनों टाट ओढ़ें, और वे परमेश्वर की दुहाई चिल्ला चिल्लाकर दें; और अपने कुमार्ग से फिरें; और उस उपद्रव से, जो वे करते हैं, पश्चाताप करें।
In context
6The 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.
7He 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;
8but 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.
9Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?”
10God 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.
