Jonah 4

1 Pathen in atohgon akhel chun Jonah alungnopmo sahlheh jengin hatah in alung hangin ahi.

But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry.

2 Hijeh chun aman Pathen henga alungnop mona aphongin Pakai in a ka kipat doh masanga kana sei hilou ham? Hiche jeh'a hi Tarshish lamma kache hilou ham, ijeh-inem itileh Pathen nangma hi lungset them, hepi them, lunghangvah lou, longlouva lungsetna nei jing Pathen thilsebol louva lunghei kit ji Pathen na hiti kahet jing sa nahi, ati.

And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.

3 Hijeh chun Pakai ka hinkho hi keija konin lamang tan, kei dingin hin sangin thi aphajo tai.

So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.

4 Chujou chun Pakaiyin “Hitia na lunghang jengpi hi dih na kisah hinam atin ahi”.

And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry?

5 Hijeh chun Jonah chu khopi a konin solam’a apotdohin lhambuh akisonin hiche limnoija chun atou in khopi chu epi hungsoh mong am tin atouvin ave tan ahi.

Then Jonah went out of the town, and took his seat on the east side of the town and made himself a roof of branches and took his seat under its shade till he saw what would become of the town.

6 Hichun Pakai Pathen in umphung khat akedoh sahin Jonah umna chu akhukhum sah in lim in ason peh tai, hitia hi bolphatna alung hesoh chu lungmonsah ding agon ahi. Hichun Jonah jong um-phungkhat in ajam khum chu akipah beseh jengin ahi.

And the Lord God made a vine come up over Jonah to give him shade over his head. And Jonah was very glad because of the vine.

7 Ahinlah ajing nikhoa kho ahungvah phat in Pathen in lung alhalut in umgui chu aneuvin ahileh um-phung chu anechaijun umphung jong chu agot lhahsah tai.

But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.

8 Nisa ahung so doh phat in Pathen in nisa aveven asat sah jing in, nisa chun Jonah lujang asal a ahileh amajong alhalhop jeng in athinom leo jeng in ahi. “Kei dingin hitia hin sangin thima apha joi” ati.

Then when the sun came up, God sent a burning east wind: and so great was the heat of the sun on his head that Jonah was overcome, and, requesting death for himself, said, Death is better for me than life.

9 Hichun Pathenn in Jonah jah’a, um-gui athia na lunghan jeng chu dih nakisah hinam? ati leh Jonah in adonbut nin “Heng’e thina changei ja lunghang ka hitai” ati.

And the Lord said to Jonah, Have you any right to be angry about the vine? And he said, I have a right to be truly angry.

10 Hichun Pakaiyin, “Nangin natu louhel hiche um-gui hi khan jong na khansah theilou jankah khatna mang thah kit ahi tai.

And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night;

11 Achutileh hiche Ninevah khopi lentah, akhosunga mihem sang jakhat le sang somni jen lhagao, muthim noija umnalai ho leh ganhing tamtah um hohi ka lainatpi lou ding ham?” ati.

And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?
