Jonas 4
1 But Jonas was very deeply grieved, and he was confounded.
Sai abin ya ɓata wa Yunana rai ƙwarai har ya yi fushi.
2 And he prayed to the Lord, and said, O Lord, were not these my words when I was yet in my land? therefore I made haste to flee to Tharsis; because I knew that you are merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and abundant in kindness, and repent of evil.
Sai ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, ba irin abin da na faɗa ke nan ba tun ina gida? Wannan ne ya sa na yi ƙoƙarin tserewa zuwa Tarshish. Ai, na sani kai Allah ne mai alheri da tausayi, mai jinkirin fushi da cikakkiyar ƙauna, kai Allah ne mai dakatar da nufinka na yin hukunci.
3 And now, Lord God, take my life from me; for [it is] better for me to die than to live.
Yanzu, ya Ubangiji, ka ɗauki raina, domin ya fi sauƙi a gare ni in mutu da in rayu.”
4 And the Lord said to Jonas, Are you very much grieved?
Amma Ubangiji ya amsa, ya ce; “Daidai ne ka yi fushi?”
5 And Jonas went out from the city, and sat over against the city; and he made for himself there a booth, and he sat under it, until he should perceive what would become of the city.
Sai Yunana ya fita daga birnin ya yi wajen gabas, ya zauna. A nan ya yi wa kansa rumfa, ya zauna cikin inuwarta yana jira yă ga abin da zai sami birnin.
6 And the Lord God commanded a gourd, and it came up over the head of Jonas, to be a shadow over his head, to shade him from his calamities: and Jonas rejoiced with great joy for the gourd.
Sai Ubangiji Allah ya sa wata’yar kuringa ta tsiro, ta yi girma a inda Yunana yake, don ta inuwantar da shi, yă ji daɗi. Yunana kuwa ya yi murna matuƙa da wannan kuringa.
7 And God commanded a worm the next morning, and it struck the gourd, and it withered away.
Amma kashegari da safe sai Allah ya sa tsutsa ta cinye’yar kuringar har ta mutu.
8 And it came to pass at the rising of the sun, that God commanded a burning east wind; and the sun struck on the head of Jonas, and he fainted, and despaired of his life, and said, [It is] better for me to die than to live.
Sa’ad da rana ta yi sama, sai Allah ya sa iskar gabas mai zafi ta huro, zafin ranar kuma ya buga kan Yunana, har ya ji sai ka ce zai suma. Ya so a ce ya mutu ma, sai ya ce, “Gara in mutu da a ce ina zaune da rai.”
9 And God said to Jonas, Are you very much grieved for the gourd? And he said, I am very much grieved, even to death.
Amma Allah ya ce wa Yunana, “Daidai ne ka yi fushi saboda wannan kuringa?” Sai Yunana ya ce, “I, daidai ne, ina fushi matuƙa, har ina so da na mutu ma.”
10 And the Lord said, You had pity on the gourd, for which you has not suffered, neither did you rear it; which came up before night, and perished before [another] night:
Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Ai, wannan kuringa ta tsira dare ɗaya ta kuma ɓace kafin dare na biyu, ba ka yi wata wahala dominta ba, ba kai ne ka sa ta yi girma ba, duk da haka ranka ya ɓace saboda ita.
11 and shall not I spare Nineve, the great city, in which dwell more than twelve myriads of human beings, who do not know their right hand or their left hand; and [also] much cattle?
Ashe, ba dole ne in ji tausayin babban birnin nan Ninebe mai mutum sama da dubu ɗari da ashirin marasa alhaki, da kuma dabbobi masu yawa ba?”
