OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_saw the_ʼElohīm DOM deeds_of_their if/because_that they_turned_back from_way_of_their (the)_evil and_he/it_sighed/regretted the_ʼElohīm on the_evil which he_had_said for_doing to/for_them and_not he_did_it.

OET (OET-RV) And God saw their actions in turning away from their evil ways and he changed his mind about the destruction which he had said he would send to them and he didn’t proceed with it.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:1–10: The LORD again told Jonah to go to Nineveh and this time he obeyed

This section records how Jonah finally obeyed the LORD and went to Nineveh to preach to the people there. Then the people of Nineveh repented of their sinful ways and the LORD did not destroy them. An alternative title for this section could be: “The people of Nineveh repent.”

3:10a

When God saw their actions—

3:10b

that they had turned from their evil ways—

they had turned from their evil ways: This is the same expression as in 3:8c. See the note there.

3:10c

He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them.

He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them: The verb naḥam, which the BSB translates as relented, is the same verb discussed in the note in 3:9a, where the translation “to change one’s mind” was preferred. You should translate it in the same way here.

In the Hebrew, the verse ends with “and he (God) did not do it.” The BSB combines the ideas of changing one’s mind and of not doing something with the word relented. If it would make more sense in your language to separate those ideas you could follow the structure of, for example, the NRSV instead of the BSB. Here is another way to translate this:

God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it. (NRSV)

uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יַּ֤רְא הָֽ⁠אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶֽת־מַ֣עֲשֵׂי⁠הֶ֔ם כִּי־שָׁ֖בוּ מִ⁠דַּרְכָּ֣⁠ם הָ⁠רָעָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_saw the=ʼElohīm DOM deeds_of,their that/for/because/then/when turned from,way_of,their (the),evil and=he/it_sighed/regretted the=ʼElohīm on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,evil which/who he/it_had_said for=doing to/for=them and=not he/it_had_made )

Alternate translation: [God saw that they stopped doing evil actions]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שָׁ֖בוּ מִ⁠דַּרְכָּ֣⁠ם הָ⁠רָעָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_saw the=ʼElohīm DOM deeds_of,their that/for/because/then/when turned from,way_of,their (the),evil and=he/it_sighed/regretted the=ʼElohīm on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,evil which/who he/it_had_said for=doing to/for=them and=not he/it_had_made )

Here the author is speaking of them stopping their sinning as if they turned away from walking on a path toward evil ways and started walking in the opposite direction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they repented from doing evil]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עַל־הָ⁠רָעָ֛ה

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,evil

The word translated as “evil” here is very broad, including moral evil, physical evil, and everything that is bad. It is the same word used in the previous sentence (and [verse 8](../03/08.md)) to describe the actions of the Ninevites. The author is showing that when people repent of moral evil, God relents from doing physical evil (punishment). God never does moral evil. If this is clear in your language, you may want to use the same word in both sentences. If that is not clear, you may want to use different words. Alternate translation: [in regard to the punishment]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

הָ⁠רָעָ֛ה

the,evil

Here the author is using the adjective evil as a noun to refer to an evil thing. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the evil thing] or [the terrible action]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹ֥א עָשָֽׂה

and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_saw the=ʼElohīm DOM deeds_of,their that/for/because/then/when turned from,way_of,their (the),evil and=he/it_sighed/regretted the=ʼElohīm on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,evil which/who he/it_had_said for=doing to/for=them and=not he/it_had_made )

Here, what God did not do could be made explicit if it would be helpful in your language. Alternate translation: [and he did not punish them] or [and he did not destroy them]

OET (OET-RV) And God saw their actions in turning away from their evil ways and he changed his mind about the destruction which he had said he would send to them and he didn’t proceed with it.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
