Jonah 4
1 And Jonas was exceedingly troubled, and was angry:
A Joni bi vrlo nedrago, i rasrdi se.
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.
I pomoli se Gospodu i reèe: Gospode! ne rekoh li to kad još bijah u svojoj zemlji? zato šæah prije pobjeæi u Tarsis; jer znah da si ti Bog milostiv i žalostiv, spor na gnjev i obilan milosrðem, i kaješ se oda zla.
3 And now, O Lord, I beseech thee take my life from me: for it is better for me to die than to live.
Sada Gospode, uzmi dušu moju od mene, jer mi je bolje umrijeti nego živjeti.
4 And the Lord said: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry?
A Gospod reèe: je li dobro što se srdiš?
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.
I Jona izide iz grada, i sjede s istoka gradu, i naèini ondje kolibu, i sjeðaše pod njom u hladu da vidi što æe biti od grada.
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 Gospod Bog zapovjedi, te uzraste tikva nad Jonom da mu bude sjen nad glavom da mu pomože u muci njegovoj; i Jona se obradova tikvi veoma.
7 But God prepared a worm, when the morning arose on the following day: and it struck the ivy and it withered.
Potom zapovjedi Bog, te doðe crv u zoru sjutradan, i podgrize tikvu, te usahnu.
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.
I kad ogranu sunce, posla Bog suh istoèni vjetar; i sunce stade žeæi Jonu po glavi tako da obamiraše i poželje da umre govoreæi: bolje mi je umrijeti nego živjeti.
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 Bog reèe Joni: je li dobro što se srdiš tikve radi? A on reèe: dobro je što se srdim do smrti.
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 Gospod mu reèe: tebi je žao tikve, oko koje se nijesi trudio, i koje nijesi odgajio, nego jednu noæ uzraste a drugu noæ propade.
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?
A meni da ne bude žao Ninevije, velikoga grada, u kom ima više od sto i dvadeset tisuæa ljudi koji još ne znaju šta je desno šta li lijevo, i mnogo stoke?
