Jonah 4
1 And Jonas was exceedingly troubled, and was angry:
ヨナこの事を甚だ惡しとして烈く怒り
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.
ヱホバに祈りて曰けるはヱホバよ我なほ本國にありし時斯あらんと曰しに非ずや さればこそ前にタルシシへ逃れたるなれ 其は我なんぢは矜恤ある神 憐憫あり 怒ること遲く慈悲深くして災禍を悔たまふものなりと知ばなり
3 And now, O Lord, I beseech thee take my life from me: for it is better for me to die than to live.
ヱホバよ願くは今わが命を取たまへ 其は生ることよりも死るかた我に善ればなり
4 And the Lord said: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry?
ヱホバ曰たまひけるは汝の怒る事いかで宜しからんや
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.
ヨナは邑より出てその東の方に居り己が爲に其處に一の小屋をしつらひその蔭の下に坐して府の如何に成行くかを見る
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.
ヱホバ神瓢を備へこれをして發生てヨナの上を覆はしめたり こはヨナの首の爲に庇蔭をまうけてその憂を慰めんが爲なりき ヨナはこの瓢の木によりて甚だ喜べり
7 But God prepared a worm, when the morning arose on the following day: and it struck the ivy and it withered.
されど神あくる日の夜明に虫をそなへて其ひさごを噛せたまひければ瓢は枯たり
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.
かくて日の出し時神暑き東風を備へ給ひ又日ヨナの首を照しければ彼よわりて心の中に死ることを願ひて言ふ 生ることよりも死るかた我に善し
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.
神またヨナに曰たまひけるは瓢の爲に汝のいかる事いかで宜しからんや 彼曰けるはわれ怒りて死るともよろし
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.
ヱホバ曰たまひけるは汝は勞をくはへず生育ざる此の一夜に生じて一夜に亡びし瓢を惜めり
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?
まして十二萬餘の右左を辨へざる者と許多の家畜とあるこの大なる府ニネベをわれ惜まざらんや
