Jonah 4
1 Pathen in atohgon akhel chun Jonah alungnopmo sahlheh jengin hatah in alung hangin ahi.
And Jonas was exceedingly troubled, and 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 prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, is not this what I said, when I was yet in my own country? therefore I went before to flee into Tharsis: for I know that thou art a gracious and merciful God, patient, and of much compassion, and easy to forgive evil.
3 Hijeh chun Pakai ka hinkho hi keija konin lamang tan, kei dingin hin sangin thi aphajo tai.
And now, O Lord, I beseech thee take my life from me: for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Chujou chun Pakaiyin “Hitia na lunghang jengpi hi dih na kisah hinam atin ahi”.
And the Lord said: Dost thou think thou hast reason 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 Jonas went out of the city, and sat toward the east side of the city: and he made himself a booth there, and he sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would befall the city.
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 prepared an ivy, and it came up over the head of Jonas, to be a shadow over his head, and to cover him (for he was fatigued), and Jonas was exceeding glad of the ivy.
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 God prepared a worm, when the morning arose on the following day: and it struck the ivy and it withered.
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.
And when the sun was risen, the Lord commanded a hot and burning wind: and the sun beat upon the head of Jonas, and he broiled with the heat: and he desired for his soul that he might die, and said: It is better for me to die than to live.
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 Jonas: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry, for the ivy? And he said: I am angry with reason even unto death.
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: Thou art grieved for the ivy, for which thou hast not laboured, nor made it to grow, which in one night came up, and in one night perished.
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 shall not I spare Ninive, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that know not how to distinguish between their right hand and their left, and many beasts?
