ትንቢተ ዮናስ 3፤ 2 -7 ተነሥተህ ወደዚያች ወደ ታላቂቱ ከተማ ወደ ነነዌ ሂድ፥ የምነግርህንም ስብከት ስበክላት፡ አለው። ዮናስም ተነሥቶ እንደ እግዚአብሔር ቃል ወደ ነነዌ ሄደ፤ ነነዌም የሦስት ቀን መንገድ ያህል እጅግ ታላቅ ከተማ ነበረች። ዮናስም የአንድ ቀን መንገድ ያህል ወደ ከተማይቱ ውስጥ ሊገባ ጀመረ፤ ጮኾም፡— በሦስት ቀን ውስጥ ነነዌ ትገለበጣለች፡ አለ። የነነዌም ሰዎች እግዚአብሔርን አመኑ፤ ለጾም አዋጅ ነገሩ፥ ከታላቁም ጀምሮ እስከ ታናሹ ድረስ ማቅ ለበሱ። ወሬውም ወደ #ነነዌ ንጉሥ ደረሰ፤ እርሱም ከዙፋኑ ተነሥቶ መጐናጸፊያውን አወለቀ ማቅም ለበሰ፥ በአመድም ላይ ተቀመጠ። አዋጅም አስነገረ፥ በነነዌም ውስጥ የንጉሡንና የመኳንንቱን ትእዛዝ አሳወጀ፥ እንዲህም አለ፡— ሰዎችና እንስሶች ላሞችና በጎች አንዳችን አይቅመሱ፤ አይሰማሩም ውኃንም አይጠጡ፤ (Jonah 3: 2-7) Arise, go unto #Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. And #Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 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. 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. 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: #LiveOrthodoxy #EthiopianOrthodoxTewahedoChurch followers begin fasting for three days according to Biblical book Of #Jonah https://www.instagram.com/p/B8YAHUjHDB_/?igshid=rwvxh0l4apfw
