Jonah 4
1 Therefore it displeased Ionah exceedingly, and he was angry.
To Jona nokecho ahinya makoro ne oonge gi mor e chunye.
2 And he prayed vnto the Lord, and saide, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my countrey? therefore I preuented it to flee vnto Tarshish: for I knewe that thou art a gratious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindnes, and repentest thee of the euill.
Nolamo Jehova Nyasaye kowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, donge ma e gima ne awacho kane pod an thurwa, ma bende ema nomiyo aringo piyo kachomo Tarshish, ne angʼeyo ni in Nyasaye ma jangʼwono kendo ma jakech, ihori mos kendo herani ogundho, Nyasaye maweyo kelo kum.
3 Therefore nowe O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me: for it is better for me to die then to liue.
Omiyo koro sani, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kaw ngimana oa e piny nikech ber katho moloyo dongʼ kangima.”
4 Then saide the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?
To Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Bende in gi ratiro mondo iyi owangʼ?”
5 So Ionah went out of the citie and sate on the East side of the citie, and there made him a boothe, and sate vnder it in the shadowe till he might see what should be done in the citie.
Jona nowuok modhi obedo piny yor wuok chiengʼ mar dala maduongʼno, mi nogero kiru kanyo nobetie tipone koyweyo kendo korito neno gima dhi timore ne dalano.
6 And the Lord God prepared a gourde, and made it to come vp ouer Ionah, that it might be a shadowe ouer his head and deliuer him from his griefe. So Ionah was exceeding glad of the gourde.
To Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo otanglo otwi modongo kendo oumo Jona mondo okel tipo ne wiye, ma dimi obed gi kwe, mi Jona nopongʼ gi mor kuom otanglono.
7 But God prepared a worme when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered.
To kane ochopo kogwen kinyne, Nyasaye ne omiyo kudni ochwoyo otanglono, mi notwo.
8 And when the sunne did arise, God prepared also a feruent East winde: and the sunne beat vpon the head of Ionah, that he fainted, and wished in his heart to die, and said, It is better for me to dye, then to liue.
Kane chiengʼ owuok gokinyi, Nyasaye nokelo yamo maliet moa yo wuok chiengʼ, mi chiengʼ ochamo wi Jona, kendo chiengʼno nomiyo dende onyosore. Kuom mano, nogombo mondo otho, kowacho niya, “Dine obedo maber katho moloyo bedo mangima.”
9 And God said vnto Ionah, Doest thou well to be angrie for the gourde? And he said, I doe well to be angrie vnto the death.
To Nyasaye nowachone Jona niya, “Bende in gi ratiro mar kecho nikech otanglo?” To nodwoko niya, “Ee, ber ka akecho, kendo iya owangʼ ahinya, monego atho.”
10 Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pitie on the gourde for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it growe, which came vp in a night, and perished in a night,
To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Isebedo kigeno kuom otangloni, mane ok irito kata ne ok imiyo dongo, ne owuok mi odongo otieno achiel, kendo otho otieno machielo.
11 And shoulde not I spare Nineueh that great citie, wherein are sixe score thousande persons, that cannot discerne betweene their right hand, and their left hand, and also much cattell?
To an donge dakech Nineve dala maduongʼ man kod ji alufu mia achiel kod piero ariyo ma ok nyal pogo lwetgi ma korachwich gi ma koracham kaachiel kod jambgi mangʼeny?”
