Jonah 4
1 And Jonas was exceedingly troubled, and was angry:
A HE mea hewa nui ia ia Iona, a huhu iho la ia.
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.
A pule aku la no ia ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova, aole anei keia kuu olelo, i kuu noho ana ma ko'u aina? Nolaila i holo aku ai au mamua i Taresisa: no ka mea, ua ike no au he Akua ahonui oe, a me ke aloha, e hakalia ana i ka huhu, a he lokomaikai nui, a me ka haalele i ka manao hoopai.
3 And now, O Lord, I beseech thee take my life from me: for it is better for me to die than to live.
Ano hoi, e Iehova, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e lawe oe i kuu ola mai o'u aku la; no ka mea, ua oi ka maikai o kuu make mamua o ke ola.
4 And the Lord said: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry?
A olelo mai o Iehova, He pono anei nou ka huhu?
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.
A hele aku la o Iona iwaho o ke kulanakauhale, a noho iho la ma ka hikina o ke kulanakauhale, a hana iho la ilaila i wahi lanai nona, a noho iho la malalo o kona malu, i ike aku ia i ka mea e hanaia ma ke kulanakauhale.
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.
A hoomakaukau o Iehova ke Akua i laau aila, a hooulu ae la ia mea maluna o Iona, i lilo ia i wahi malumalu o kona poo, e hoopakele ia ia mai kona mea kaumaha. A olioli nui o Iona i ka laau aila.
7 But God prepared a worm, when the morning arose on the following day: and it struck the ivy and it withered.
A hoomakaukau ke Akua i wahi enuhe i ka wanaao i ka la apopo, a ai iho la ia i ka laau aila, a mae iho la ia.
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.
A i ka wa i puka mai ai ka la, hoomakaukau ke Akua i makani hikina wela: a kau ka la maluna o ke poo o Iona, a maule iho la ia, a manao iho la iloko ona e make, a i iho la, ua oi ka maikai o kuu make mamua o ke ola.
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.
A olelo mai la ke Akua ia Iona, He pono anei kou huhu no ka laau aila? A i aku la ia, He pono ko'u huhu a i ka make.
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.
A olelo mai o Iehova, Ua minamina anei oe i ka laau aila, ka mea aole oe i luhi, aole hoi oe i hooulu: kupu mai no ia i ka po hookahi, a make iho la i ka po hookahi:
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?
Aole anei he pono ko'u mina mina ana ia Nineva, ke kulanakauhale nui, iloko ona he lehulehu, hookahi haneri a me ka iwakalua na tausani a keu aku, ka poe ike ole iwaena o ka lima akau a me ka lima hema; a ua nui loa hoi na holoholona?
