Jona 4
1 To Jona nokecho ahinya makoro ne oonge gi mor e chunye.
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
2 Nolamo Jehova Nyasaye kowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, donge ma e gima ne awacho kane pod an thurwa, ma bende ema nomiyo aringo piyo kachomo Tarshish, ne angʼeyo ni in Nyasaye ma jangʼwono kendo ma jakech, ihori mos kendo herani ogundho, Nyasaye maweyo kelo kum.
He prayed to YHWH, and said, "Please, YHWH, wasn't this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.
3 Omiyo koro sani, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kaw ngimana oa e piny nikech ber katho moloyo dongʼ kangima.”
Therefore now, YHWH, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live."
4 To Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Bende in gi ratiro mondo iyi owangʼ?”
YHWH said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
5 Jona nowuok modhi obedo piny yor wuok chiengʼ mar dala maduongʼno, mi nogero kiru kanyo nobetie tipone koyweyo kendo korito neno gima dhi timore ne dalano.
Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.
6 To Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo otanglo otwi modongo kendo oumo Jona mondo okel tipo ne wiye, ma dimi obed gi kwe, mi Jona nopongʼ gi mor kuom otanglono.
YHWH God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine.
7 To kane ochopo kogwen kinyne, Nyasaye ne omiyo kudni ochwoyo otanglono, mi notwo.
But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered.
8 Kane chiengʼ owuok gokinyi, Nyasaye nokelo yamo maliet moa yo wuok chiengʼ, mi chiengʼ ochamo wi Jona, kendo chiengʼno nomiyo dende onyosore. Kuom mano, nogombo mondo otho, kowacho niya, “Dine obedo maber katho moloyo bedo mangima.”
It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
9 To Nyasaye nowachone Jona niya, “Bende in gi ratiro mar kecho nikech otanglo?” To nodwoko niya, “Ee, ber ka akecho, kendo iya owangʼ ahinya, monego atho.”
God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" He said, "I am right to be angry, even to death."
10 To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Isebedo kigeno kuom otangloni, mane ok irito kata ne ok imiyo dongo, ne owuok mi odongo otieno achiel, kendo otho otieno machielo.
YHWH said, "You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.
11 To an donge dakech Nineve dala maduongʼ man kod ji alufu mia achiel kod piero ariyo ma ok nyal pogo lwetgi ma korachwich gi ma koracham kaachiel kod jambgi mangʼeny?”
Shouldn't I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can't discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?"
