OET (OET-LV) And_it_reached the_message to the_king_of[fn] of_Nīnəvēh and_he/it_rose_up from_throne_of_his and_he_took_off cloak_of_his from_on_him and_he_covered sackcloth and_he/it_sat_down//remained//lived on (the)_ash[es].

3:6 OSHB note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.

OET (OET-RV) The king of Nineveh also heard about it and he got down from his throne, took off his robe and put on sackcloth, then sat in a pile of ashes.

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.”

3:6a

When word reached the king of Nineveh,

When word reached the king of Nineveh: The king of Nineveh heard about the message Jonah was announcing and he too believed that God was going to destroy the city in forty days.

3:6b

he got up from his throne,

he got up from his throne: The king got up from his throne, the special seat that a king sits on to show his authority.

3:6c

took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth,

took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth: He also took off his royal robes, which he wore to show he was king, and put on sackcloth like the ordinary people had done, to show that he too had repented.

sackcloth: See note on 3:5c.

3:6d

and sat in ashes.

and sat in ashes: It was a custom in that part of the world to sit on the ground in ashes to express sorrow. (See Job 2:13.)

Each of the actions in 3:6b–d was a sign that the king was repenting and humbling himself before God.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠דָּבָר֙

the,word

The author assumes that his readers will understand that this word is Jonah’s message from God. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Jonah’s message]

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יָּ֨קָם֙ מִ⁠כִּסְא֔⁠וֹ וַ⁠יַּעֲבֵ֥ר אַדַּרְתּ֖⁠וֹ מֵֽ⁠עָלָ֑י⁠ו

and=he/it_rose_up from,throne_of,his and,he_took_off cloak_of,his from,on,him

That the king rose up from his throne and he took off his robe shows that he was acting humbly. The throne and the royal robe were both symbols of his authority and power as king of a powerful nation. If the meaning of these actions would not be clear to your readers, you could explain it in the text or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [and he left his royal throne and removed his royal robe]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

מִ⁠כִּסְא֔⁠וֹ

from,throne_of,his

A throne is a a special, ceremonial chair that a king sits on when performing his official duties as king. It is reserved for the king only. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of royal seat, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [his royal chair]

Note 4 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יְכַ֣ס שַׂ֔ק וַ⁠יֵּ֖שֶׁב עַל־הָ⁠אֵֽפֶר

and,he_covered sackcloth and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (the),ash[es]

The acts of putting on sackcloth and sitting on the ash heap are symbolic actions meant to show deep sorrow and repentance. If this would not be clear to your readers, you could explain the significance of these actions in the text or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [and he covered himself with sackcloth and sat among the ashes to show his deep sorrow and repentance]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:6 The king of Nineveh was either an unknown governor of the city or perhaps the king of Assyria, who might have used Nineveh as a regular seat of government (cp. 2 Kgs 19:9-13).
