< Jonah 4 >

1 And Jonas was exceedingly troubled, and was angry:
Jonah el inse toasr ac kasrkusrak ke ma se inge.
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.
Na el pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, ya nga tuh tia fahk meet liki nga som liki acn sik lah pa inge ma kom ac mau oru uh? Pa pwanang nga tuh suk na ngan kaingla nu Tarshish! Nga etu lah kom sie God su yohk lungse ac pakoten la, ac kom mongfisrasr pacl nukewa, kulang pacl nukewa, ac akola pacl nukewa in ekulla nunak lom tuh kom in tia kalyei mwet uh.
3 And now, O Lord, I beseech thee take my life from me: for it is better for me to die than to live.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD, eisla moul luk. Nga fin misa, ac wo liki na nga in moul.”
4 And the Lord said: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry?
LEUM GOD El topuk, “Ya fal kom in kasrkusrak?”
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.
Jonah el illa liki siti uh ac muta layen kutulap in siti sac. El orala sie iwen aktuktuk nu sel sifacna ac muta ye lul kac, ac tupan elan liye lah mea ac sikyak nu Nineveh.
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.
Na LEUM GOD El orala soko mah orak in kapak ac sunilya Jonah, ac lul kac akwoyal. Ac Jonah el arulana insewowo ke mah orak soko ah.
7 But God prepared a worm, when the morning arose on the following day: and it struck the ivy and it withered.
Tusruktu toang na ke lutu tok ah, God El sap wet soko in kunausla mah orak soko ah, na mah soko ah masla.
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.
Tukun faht ah takak tari, God El supwama sie eng na fol kutulap me, ac Jonah el apkuran in mulalla ke fulen faht ah sreya fin sifal. Ouinge el kena elan misa. El fahk, “Nga fin misa, ac wo liki na nga in moul.”
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.
Tuh God El fahk nu sel, “Ya fal kom in kasrkusrak ke mah orak soko ah?” Jonah el topuk, “Aok, nuna fal ngan kasrkusrak — lupan kasrkusrak luk inge ku na ngan misa kac!”
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.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Mah orak soko inge kapak ke fong se na, ac masla pacna ke fong se toko an. Wangin orekma lom nu kac, ac tia pac kom pa oru in kap uh, a kom asor kac!
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?
Ac fal nu sik in arulana yohk pakomuta luk ke acn Nineveh, siti lulap sac, ke sripen oasr tulik siofok longoul tausin we wangin mwatalos, oapaya ma orakrak!”
