Jonah 4
1 And Jonas was exceedingly troubled, and was angry:
To Jona nokecho ahinya makoro ne oonge gi mor e chunye.
2 And he prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, is not this what I said, when I was yet in my own country? therefore I went before to flee into Tharsis: for I know that thou art a gracious and merciful God, patient, and of much compassion, and easy to forgive evil.
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.
3 And now, O Lord, I beseech thee take my life from me: for it is better for me to die than to live.
Omiyo koro sani, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kaw ngimana oa e piny nikech ber katho moloyo dongʼ kangima.”
4 And the Lord said: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry?
To Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Bende in gi ratiro mondo iyi owangʼ?”
5 Then Jonas went out of the city, and sat toward the east side of the city: and he made himself a booth there, and he sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would befall the city.
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.
6 And the Lord God prepared an ivy, and it came up over the head of Jonas, to be a shadow over his head, and to cover him (for he was fatigued), and Jonas was exceeding glad of the ivy.
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.
7 But God prepared a worm, when the morning arose on the following day: and it struck the ivy and it withered.
To kane ochopo kogwen kinyne, Nyasaye ne omiyo kudni ochwoyo otanglono, mi notwo.
8 And when the sun was risen, the Lord commanded a hot and burning wind: and the sun beat upon the head of Jonas, and he broiled with the heat: and he desired for his soul that he might die, and said: It is better for me to die than to live.
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.”
9 And the Lord said to Jonas: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry, for the ivy? And he said: I am angry with reason even unto death.
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.”
10 And the Lord said: Thou art grieved for the ivy, for which thou hast not laboured, nor made it to grow, which in one night came up, and in one night perished.
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.
11 And shall not I spare Ninive, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that know not how to distinguish between their right hand and their left, and many beasts?
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?”
