< Jonah 4 >

1 Therefore it displeased Ionah exceedingly, and he was angry.
Jonah el inse toasr ac kasrkusrak ke ma se inge.
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.
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 Therefore nowe O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me: for it is better for me to die then to liue.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD, eisla moul luk. Nga fin misa, ac wo liki na nga in moul.”
4 Then saide the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?
LEUM GOD El topuk, “Ya fal kom in kasrkusrak?”
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.
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 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.
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 worme when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that 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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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?
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!”
