Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

3:4 Forty days from now Nineveh will be destroyed! Jonah’s message apparently did not include a contingency clause—e.g., “But if you repent, God will not destroy you” (note the king’s uncertainty in 3:9). Jonah knew, however, of God’s desire for people to repent rather than be destroyed (3:10; 4:2).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיָּ֤חֶל יוֹנָה֙ לָב֣וֹא בָעִ֔יר מַהֲלַ֖ךְ י֣וֹם אֶחָ֑ד וַיִּקְרָא֙
and,began Yōnāh/(Jonah) to,go in/on/at/with,city walk_of day one(ms) and=he/it_called
The phrase a journey of one day could mean: (1) Jonah walked a day’s journey into the city and then he started calling out. Alternate translation: [So Jonah walked into the city for one day, and then he called out] (2) while Jonah was walking through the city on the first day, he started calling out. Alternate translation: [So Jonah began walking into the city for one day, and as he went he called out]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
וַיִּקְרָא֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר
and=he/it_called and,said
The expression called out and said contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [and he proclaimed] or [and he shouted]
ע֚וֹד אַרְבָּעִ֣ים י֔וֹם
again/more forty day
Alternate translation: [After 40 days] or [When 40 days have passed]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְנִֽינְוֵ֖ה נֶהְפָּֽכֶת
and,Nineveh overthrown
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: [then God will overthrow Nineveh]
