Jonah 4
1 Pathen in atohgon akhel chun Jonah alungnopmo sahlheh jengin hatah in alung hangin ahi.
But this really upset Jonah, and he became very 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.
He prayed to the Lord and told him, “Lord, wasn't this what I said when I was back home? That's why I ran away to Tarshish in the first place! For I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, very patient and full of kindhearted love, who relents from sending disaster.
3 Hijeh chun Pakai ka hinkho hi keija konin lamang tan, kei dingin hin sangin thi aphajo tai.
So just kill me now, Lord, because I'd prefer to die than to live!”
4 Chujou chun Pakaiyin “Hitia na lunghang jengpi hi dih na kisah hinam atin ahi”.
The Lord responded, “Do you have a good reason to be so 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.
Jonah left the city and sat down to the east of it. There he made himself a shelter so he could sit in the shade and watch what would happen to 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.
The Lord God had a plant grow up and provide shade over Jonah's head to ease his discomfort. Jonah was very happy with the plant.
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.
The next day at dawn the Lord had a maggot attack the plant 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.
Then as the sun came up the Lord arranged for a scorching east wind to blow, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head so that he became faint and wanted to die. “I'd rather die than live!” he said.
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.
But the Lord asked Jonah, “Do you have a good reason to be so angry about the plant?” “Yes I do!” Jonah replied. “I'm angry enough to die!”
10 Hichun Pakaiyin, “Nangin natu louhel hiche um-gui hi khan jong na khansah theilou jankah khatna mang thah kit ahi tai.
Then the Lord told Jonah, “You're concerned about a plant which you did nothing about, and you didn't make it grow. It came up overnight and died overnight.
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.
Shouldn't I be concerned about the great city of Nineveh where one hundred and twenty thousand people live who don't know their right hand from their left, not to mention all the animals?”
