Jonah 4

1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.

To Jona nokecho ahinya makoro ne oonge gi mor e chunye.

2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said: 'I pray Thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in mine own country? Therefore I fled beforehand unto Tarshish; for I knew that Thou art a gracious God, and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and repentest Thee of the evil.

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 now, O LORD, take, I beseech Thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.'

Omiyo koro sani, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kaw ngimana oa e piny nikech ber katho moloyo dongʼ kangima.”

4 And the LORD said: 'Art thou greatly angry?'

To Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Bende in gi ratiro mondo iyi owangʼ?”

5 Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

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 gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his evil. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd.

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 worm 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 it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said: 'It is better for me to die than to live.'

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 to Jonah: 'Art thou greatly angry for the gourd?' And he said: 'I am greatly angry, even unto 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 And the LORD said: 'Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow, which came up 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 should not I have pity on Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattle?'

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?”
