Youna 4
1 Youna e da Gode Ea hamoi hou amo ba: le, amola ougi galu.
And it is grievous to Jonah—a great evil—and he is displeased at it;
2 Amabeba: le, e amane Godema sia: ne gadoi. “Hina Gode! Na sia: Dia nabima! Na da na sogebi amo hame yolesi amola na da Dia wali hamoi amo dawa: i dagoi. Amaiba: le, na hobeale masunusa: dawa: iba: le na da Dasase amoga asi. Na dawa: , Gode Di da asigisu hou amo hamosa, amola hedolo hame ougisu hou amo hamosa, amola hedolo hame ougisa. Amola Di da bagade asigisa, amola Dia asigi dawa: su afadenene se iasu Dia ilegei amo mae ima: ne momagei ouesala.
and he prays to YHWH, and he says, “Ah, now, O YHWH, is this not my word while I was in my own land—therefore I was beforehand [going] to flee to Tarshish—that I have known that You [are] a God, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, and relenting of evil?
3 Hina Gode! Na esalusu amo Dia samogema! Na da bogomu goga da na hanai, amola esalumu hihi gala.
And now, O YHWH, please take my soul from me, for better [is] my death than my life.”
4 Gode da bu adole ba: i, “Abuliba: le di da ougibala: ?”
And YHWH says, “Is doing good displeasing to you?”
5 Be Youna da moilai bai bagade ea eso mabe gusudili la: idi amoga asili amola hisu diasu gaguli amola amo diasu ea ougiga esalea e da Ninefe amo ganodini adi hou doaga: ma: bela: le sosodolalu.
And Jonah goes forth from the city, and sits on the east of the city, and makes a shelter for himself there, and sits under it in the shade, until he sees what is in the city.
6 Amalu Hina Gode E da efe bugi, amo alelesili amola Youna igili hisi amo noga: le lasa esaloma: ne denesi. Amo hou ba: beba: le, Youna da efe bugi amoma hahawane ba: i.
And YHWH God appoints a gourd, and causes it to come up over Jonah, to be a shade over his head, to give deliverance to him from his affliction, and Jonah rejoices because of the gourd [with] great joy.
7 Be dia hahabe Gode Ea bugi amo bioma: ne, daba: asunasi. Amo daba: da bugi doagala: le, bugi da bioi amola bogoi.
And God appoints a worm at the going up of the dawn on the next day, and it strikes the gourd, and it dries up.
8 Be eso diga: gala: le amola Gode Ea dogoloi fo gia: i bagade eso mabe amodili diga: gala: i amoga, Youna ea busagi amo dogolole amola E da sidini, bogomu ba: i. Be Youna da bogoiyale dawa: i galu, amola E da amane sia: i, “Na da bogomu defea.”
And it comes to pass, about the rising of the sun, that God appoints a cutting east wind, and the sun strikes on the head of Jonah, and he wraps himself up, and asks for his soul to die, and says, “Better [is] my death than my life.”
9 Be Gode Ea ema amane sia: i. “Abuliba: le di da bugi bioiba: le ougibala: ?” Youna da amane sia: i, “Na da ougimu da defea! Na da ougili bogomu hanai!”
And God says to Jonah: “Is doing good displeasing to you, because of the gourd?” And he says, “To do good is displeasing to me—to death.”
10 Be Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Goe bugi da gasi afadafa heda: le amola gasi enoga asi dagoi ba: i. Be dia da amo bugi hame hamoi, amola alema: ne hame hamoi. Be amomane dia da bugi amoma asigisa.
And YHWH says, “You have had pity on the gourd, for which you did not labor, neither did you nourish it, which came up [as] a son of night, and perished [as] a son of night,
11 Be Ninefe amo ganodini dunu fi 120,000 amo baligi esala. Ilia da hame dawa: su dunu. Ohe fi amola bagade esala. Amaiba: le, Na da amo moilai bai bagade fi ilima abuliba: le hame asigima: bela: ? Na da ilima asigisa. Sia: Ama Dagoi
and I—do I not have pity on Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than one hundred twenty thousand of mankind, who have not known between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?”
