Jonas 3:5

Bible du Rabbinat 1899 [fr]

3

1 וַיְהִ֧י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֛ה אֶל־יוֹנָ֖ה שֵׁנִ֥ית לֵאמֹֽר׃ La parole de l’Éternel fut adressée une seconde fois à Jonas, en ces termes:

2 ק֛וּם לֵ֥ךְ אֶל־נִֽינְוֵ֖ה הָעִ֣יר הַגְּדוֹלָ֑ה וּקְרָ֤א אֵלֶ֙יהָ֙ אֶת־הַקְּרִיאָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָנֹכִ֖י דֹּבֵ֥ר אֵלֶֽיךָ׃ "Lève-toi, va à Ninive la grande ville, et fais-y la publication que je te dicterai."

3 וַיָּ֣קׇם יוֹנָ֗ה וַיֵּ֛לֶךְ אֶל־נִֽינְוֵ֖ה כִּדְבַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֑ה וְנִֽינְוֵ֗ה הָיְתָ֤ה עִיר־גְּדוֹלָה֙ לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים מַהֲלַ֖ךְ שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת יָמִֽים׃ Jonas se leva et se rendit à Ninive, selon l’ordre du Seigneur. Or, Ninive était une ville puissamment grande: [il fallait] trois jours pour la parcourir.

4 וַיָּ֤חֶל יוֹנָה֙ לָב֣וֹא בָעִ֔יר מַהֲלַ֖ךְ י֣וֹם אֶחָ֑ד וַיִּקְרָא֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר ע֚וֹד אַרְבָּעִ֣ים י֔וֹם וְנִֽינְוֵ֖ה נֶהְפָּֽכֶת׃ Jonas commença à parcourir la ville l’espace d’une journée, et publia cette annonce: "Encore quarante jours, et Ninive sera détruite!"

5 וַֽיַּאֲמִ֛ינוּ אַנְשֵׁ֥י נִֽינְוֵ֖ה בֵּֽאלֹהִ֑ים וַיִּקְרְאוּ־צוֹם֙ וַיִּלְבְּשׁ֣וּ שַׂקִּ֔ים מִגְּדוֹלָ֖ם וְעַד־קְטַנָּֽם׃ Les habitants de Ninive crurent en Dieu; ils proclamèrent un jeûne, et tous, grands et petits, se vêtirent de cilices.

6 וַיִּגַּ֤ע הַדָּבָר֙ אֶל־מֶ֣לֶךְ נִֽינְוֵ֔ה וַיָּ֙קׇם֙ מִכִּסְא֔וֹ וַיַּעֲבֵ֥ר אַדַּרְתּ֖וֹ מֵֽעָלָ֑יו וַיְכַ֣ס שַׂ֔ק וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב עַל־הָאֵֽפֶר׃ Le bruit étant parvenu jusqu’au roi de Ninive, il se leva de son trône, jeta bas son manteau, se couvrit d’un cilice et s’assit sur la cendre.

7 וַיַּזְעֵ֗ק וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ בְּנִֽינְוֵ֔ה מִטַּ֧עַם הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וּגְדֹלָ֖יו לֵאמֹ֑ר הָאָדָ֨ם וְהַבְּהֵמָ֜ה הַבָּקָ֣ר וְהַצֹּ֗אן אַֽל־יִטְעֲמוּ֙ מְא֔וּמָה אַ֨ל־יִרְע֔וּ וּמַ֖יִם אַל־יִשְׁתּֽוּ׃ Et il fit publier dans Ninive comme décret du roi et de ses dignitaires ce qui suit: "Que ni homme ni bête, ni gros ni menu bétail ne goûtent quoi que ce soit; qu’on ne les laisse pâturer ni boire de l’eau.

8 וְיִתְכַּסּ֣וּ שַׂקִּ֗ים הָֽאָדָם֙ וְהַבְּהֵמָ֔ה וְיִקְרְא֥וּ אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּחׇזְקָ֑ה וְיָשֻׁ֗בוּ אִ֚ישׁ מִדַּרְכּ֣וֹ הָֽרָעָ֔ה וּמִן־הֶחָמָ֖ס אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּכַפֵּיהֶֽם׃ Que les hommes et le bétail soient enveloppés de cilices; que chacun invoque Dieu avec force, qu’il renonce à sa mauvaise conduite et à la rapine qui est dans ses mains!

9 מִֽי־יוֹדֵ֣עַ יָשׁ֔וּב וְנִחַ֖ם הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְשָׁ֛ב מֵחֲר֥וֹן אַפּ֖וֹ וְלֹ֥א נֹאבֵֽד׃ Qui sait? Peut-être Dieu, se ravisant, révoquera-t-il son arrêt et se départira-t-il de son courroux, pour que nous ne périssions pas."

10 וַיַּ֤רְא הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־מַ֣עֲשֵׂיהֶ֔ם כִּי־שָׁ֖בוּ מִדַּרְכָּ֣ם הָרָעָ֑ה וַיִּנָּ֣חֶם הָאֱלֹהִ֗ים עַל־הָרָעָ֛ה אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֥ר לַעֲשׂוֹת־לָהֶ֖ם וְלֹ֥א עָשָֽׂה׃ Dieu, en effet, considérant leur conduite, voyant qu’ils avaient abandonné leur mauvaise voie, revint sur la calamité qu’il leur avait annoncée et n’accomplit pas sa menace.

Targum Jonathan

Ibn Ezra

English

"And they believed"- [this case is] like [it says in the verse]: "and the people believed" (Shemot 4:31).

and the essence of [the meaning of the word]: "in God" is [that the believed] "in the word of God."

Radak (David Kimhi)

English

"And they believed"- because the sailors were in the city and they testified about Yonah that they had cast him into the sea, and the rest of his story as it happened. This is why they believed his prophecy and repented completely.

"They proclaimed a fast"- [even] before the king's warning, they repented on their own, and they fasted, and they wore sackcloth.

Abarbanel

English

The people of Nineveh believed God: that is, that there was a purpose to His word and His decree. Rabbi Avraham ibn Ezra wrote in the name of Rabbi Yeshuah that the sailors went to Nineveh and told them about Yonah. And so they believed him without him having to provide any signs or wonders.

[However], there is no need [for this explantion provided by the Ibn Ezra], for signs and wonders are not demanded from a prophet when he is commanding and warning only about keeping the Torah and doing what is good and upright. For one is also obligated to listen to a sage when he says these things[to keep the torah, and therefore it makes no difference whether a prophet or sage is telling you to do them]; but when it is commanded in the name of God to violate one of the commandments of the Torah as a provisional ruling(provided it is not idol worship) then it is fitting that he perform wonders to verify his prophecy.

Yonah made it clear to them that the decree was for their transgressions in general, and specifically for the "violence in their hands," and [told them] that they should return to God, who would have mercy on them.

This is why they didn't have to ask him for any signs or wonders. They accepted his words as good and upright of their own accord. And this is why it says that "the people of Nineveh believed in God," and not that "they believed in Yonah" or that the king had summoned him or even spoken with him about this. They believed in God, that it was within God's power to do all this, and that God loves the upright and hates violence. They were stirred by Yonah's words to do their repentance.
