Jonah 4
1 Jonah, however, was greatly displeased, and he became angry.
Ngem kasla saan nga umno daytoy kenni Jonas, ket kasta unay ti ungetna.
2 So he prayed to the LORD, saying, “O LORD, is this not what I said while I was still in my own country? This is why I was so quick to flee toward Tarshish. I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion—One who relents from sending disaster.
Isu a nagkararag kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Ah, Yahweh, saan kadi a daytoy ti kas imbagak kenka idi addaak iti bukodko a pagilian? Isu't gapuna a nagtignayak nga immuna ket pinadasko ti immadayo a napan idiay Tarsis—gapu ta ammok a naparaburka a Dios, manangngaasi, saan a nalaka a makaunget, napnoan ti kinapudno ket baliwam ti pangngeddengmo a mangibaon iti didigra.
3 And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
Ita ngarud, Yahweh, agpakpakaasiak kenka, alaemon ti biagko, ta nasaysayaat a matayak ngem ti agbiag.”
4 But the LORD replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”
Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Nasayaat kadi a makaungetka?”
5 Then Jonah left the city and sat down east of it, where he made himself a shelter and sat in its shade to see what would happen to the city.
Ket rimmuar ni Jonas iti siudad ken nagtugaw iti akindaya a paset daytoy. Nangaramid isuna iti paglinongan sadiay ket nagtugaw iti sirok daytoy tapno makitana ti mabalin a mapasamak iti siudad.
6 So the LORD God appointed a vine, and it grew up to provide shade over Jonah’s head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was greatly pleased with the plant.
Nangisagana ni Yahweh a Dios iti mula ket pinadakkelna daytoy a dimmanon iti ngatoen ni Jonas tapno malinongan ti ulona ket mabang-aran. Naragsakan unay ni Jonas gapu iti mula.
7 When dawn came the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant so that it withered.
Ngem nangisagana ti Dios iti igges idi sumingising ti init iti kabigatanna. Kinibkibanna ti mula ket nalaylay.
8 As the sun was rising, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint and wished to die, saying, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
Ket napasamak, idi simmingising ti init iti kabigatanna, nangisagana ti Dios iti napudot nga angin manipud iti daya. Kasta met a nainitan ti ulo ni Jonas ket kimmapsut. Ket tinarigagayan ni Jonas a matay isunan. Kinunana iti bagina, “Nasaysayaat a matayak ngem ti agbiag.”
9 Then God asked Jonah, “Have you any right to be angry about the plant?” “I do,” he replied. “I am angry enough to die!”
Ket kinuna ti Dios kenni Jonas, “Nasayaat kadi a makaungetka maipanggep iti mula?” Ket kinuna ni Jonas, “Nasayaat a makaungetak, uray pakatayak.”
10 But the LORD said, “You cared about the plant, which you neither tended nor made grow. It sprang up in a night and perished in a night.
Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Maasianka iti mula, a saanmo a nagbannogan wenno pinadakkel. Nagtubo daytoy iti rabii ken natay iti sumaruno a rabii.
11 So should I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than 120,000 people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well?”
Isu a para kaniak, saan kadi a rumbeng a kaasiak ti Nineve, ti dakkel a siudad, nga addaan iti nasurok a sangagasut ket duapulo a ribu a tattao a saan a makaammo iti nagdumaan ti kannawan ken kannigid nga imada, ken kasta met dagiti adu a tarakenda?”
