Jonah 4
1 But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry.
Ngunit naghinanakit si Jonas, at nagalit siya nang labis.
2 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.
Kaya nanalangin si Jonas kay Yahweh at sinabi, “A, Yahweh, hindi ba ito ang sinabi ko nang bumalik ako sa aking sariling bansa? Kaya nga kumilos muna ako at sinubukang tumakas papuntang Tarsis—dahil alam kong ikaw ay mapagbigay na Diyos, mahabagin, mabagal magalit, sagana sa katapatan, at naaawa kang magpadala ng kapahamakan.
3 So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.
Kaya ngayon, Yahweh, nagmamakaawa ako, kunin mo ang aking buhay, dahil higit na mabuti para akin ang mamatay kaysa sa mabuhay.”
4 And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry?
Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Mabuti bang ikaw ay lubos na magalit?”
5 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.
Pagkatapos lumabas si Jonas mula sa lungsod at umupo sa dakong silangang bahagi ng lungsod. Doon gumawa siya ng silungan at umupo sa ilalim nito sa lilim upang makita niya kung ano ang maaaring mangyari sa lungsod.
6 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.
Naghanda ang Diyos na si Yahweh ng isang halaman at pinatubo niya ito sa ibabaw ng ulo ni Jonas para maging lilim sa ibabaw ng ulo niya para mapagaan ang kanyang pagkabalisa. Labis na natuwa si Jonas nang dahil sa halaman.
7 But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.
Ngunit kinabukasan sa pagsikat ng araw naghanda ang Diyos ng isang uod. Sinalakay nito ang halaman at nalanta ang halaman.
8 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.
Nangyari na nang sumikat ang araw ng sumunod na umaga, ang Diyos ay naghanda ng isang mainit na hangin mula sa silangan. At saka, tinamaan ng sinag ng araw ang ulo ni Jonas at naging maputla siya. Pagkatapos hinangad ni Jonas na mamatay siya. Sinabi ni Jonas sa kanyang sarili, “Mas mabuti pang mamatay ako kaysa sa mabuhay.
9 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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ng Diyos kay Jonas, “Tama bang labis kang magalit dahil sa halaman? At sinabi ni Jonas, “Tama lang na magalit ako, kahit hanggang sa kamatayan.”
10 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;
Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Nagkaroon ka ng habag sa halaman, na hindi mo naman pinaghirapan, ni pinatubo ito. Tumubo ito sa isang gabi at namatay sa isang gabi.
11 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?
Kaya para sa akin, hindi ba dapat akong mahabag sa Ninive, ang malaking lungsod na iyon, kung saan may mas marami pa sa isandaan at dalawampung libong tao na hindi alam ang kaibahan sa pagitan ng kanilang kanang kamay at kaliwang kamay, at saka maraming rin baka?”
