Jonah 4
1 But this really upset Jonah, and he became very angry.
Toda to je Jona silno razžalilo in bil je zelo jezen.
2 He prayed to the Lord and told him, “Lord, wasn't this what I said when I was back home? That's why I ran away to Tarshish in the first place! For I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, very patient and full of kindhearted love, who relents from sending disaster.
Molil je h Gospodu ter rekel: »Prosim te, oh Gospod, ali ni bila to moja beseda, ko sem bil še v svoji deželi? Zatorej sem prej pobegnil v Taršíš, kajti vedel sem, da si milostljiv Bog in usmiljen, počasen za jezo in zelo prijazen in se kesaš zlega.
3 So just kill me now, Lord, because I'd prefer to die than to live!”
Zatorej sedaj, oh Gospod, vzemi, rotim te, moje življenje od mene, kajti zame je bolje, da umrem, kakor da živim.«
4 The Lord responded, “Do you have a good reason to be so angry?”
Potem je Gospod rekel: »Delaš pravilno, da si jezen?«
5 Jonah left the city and sat down to the east of it. There he made himself a shelter so he could sit in the shade and watch what would happen to the city.
Tako je Jona odšel ven iz mesta in se usedel na vzhodni strani mesta in si tam postavil šotor in sedèl pod njim v senco, toliko časa, da lahko vidi kaj bo iz mesta nastalo.
6 The Lord God had a plant grow up and provide shade over Jonah's head to ease his discomfort. Jonah was very happy with the plant.
Gospod Bog pa je pripravil bučo in ji storil, da vzklije nad Jona, da bi bila ta lahko senca nad njegovo glavo, da ga osvobodi pred njegovo žalostjo. Tako je bil Jona buče silno vesel.
7 The next day at dawn the Lord had a maggot attack the plant and it withered.
Toda ko je naslednjega dne vstalo jutro, je Bog pripravil ličinko in ta je napadla bučo, da je ovenela.
8 Then as the sun came up the Lord arranged for a scorching east wind to blow, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head so that he became faint and wanted to die. “I'd rather die than live!” he said.
Ko je sonce vstalo, se je pripetilo, da je Bog pripravil silovit vzhodnik. Sonce je udarjalo na Jonovo glavo, da je slabel in si v sebi želel, da umre ter rekel: »Zame je boljše, da umrem, kakor da živim.«
9 But the Lord asked Jonah, “Do you have a good reason to be so angry about the plant?” “Yes I do!” Jonah replied. “I'm angry enough to die!”
Bog je Jonu rekel: »Delaš pravilno, da si jezen zaradi buče?« Ta je rekel: »Pravilno delam, da sem jezen, celó do smrti.«
10 Then the Lord told Jonah, “You're concerned about a plant which you did nothing about, and you didn't make it grow. It came up overnight and died overnight.
Potem je Gospod rekel: »Usmiljenje imaš za bučo, za katero nisi delal niti ji storil, da zraste, ki je v [eni] noči vzklila in v [eni] noči propadla,
11 Shouldn't I be concerned about the great city of Nineveh where one hundred and twenty thousand people live who don't know their right hand from their left, not to mention all the animals?”
jaz pa naj ne bi prizanesel Ninivam, temu velikemu mestu, v katerem je več kot sto dvajset tisoč oseb, ki ne morejo razlikovati med svojo desnico in svojo levico in tudi veliko živine?«
