Jonah 4
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
Jonah teh a lungphuen, a lungkhuek teh, Oe Cathut nang koe ka kâhei. Kai teh kamamouh ram dawk ka o navah hettelah ka dei toe nahoehmaw. Hat dawk nahoehmaw nang koehoi Tarshish kho lah ka yawng vaw.
2 And he prayed unto Yhwh, and said, I pray thee, O Yhwh, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
Bawipa nang teh pahrennae hoi lungmakung Cathut lah na o teh, lungsawnae, moi ka pathung han na tie hai pathung laipalah ngaithoumnae lung na tawn tie heh ka panue.
3 Therefore now, O Yhwh, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
Hatdawkvah Cathut kahringnae na lat pouh lawih. Kai teh kahring e hlak ka due doeh ka hawihnawn telah a kâhei.
4 Then said Yhwh, Doest thou well to be angry?
Cathut ni, na lungkhuek kawi na maw telah a pacei.
5 So 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.
Jonah ni khopui dawk bangtelah mouh ao han tie hah panue han a ngai dawkvah khopui e alawilah a tâco teh kanîtholah rim a sak teh a tâhlip dawk a tahung.
6 And Yhwh 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 grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
Cathut ni Jonah a lungroum nahanelah tuiumkung a ung pouh teh a lû lathueng a yam pouh. Hote akung dawkvah Jonah te a lung akuep poung.
7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
Atangtho khodai torei teh Cathut ni a patoun e ahri ni tuiumkung thawk a kei pouh teh kawt a kamyai.
8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
Amom kanî a tâco torei teh, Cathut ni kâan poung e kahlî kanîtho lahoi a tho sak teh, Jonah e a lû hah a dâw pouh dawkvah, Jonah puenghoi a tawn teh due ngainae lung a tawn. Hatdawkvah, Jonah ni ka due e doeh ka hring e hlak kahawi telah a cairing.
9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
Cathut ni hai nang ni tuiumkung kecu dawk na lungkhuek kawi namaw telah a pacei navah, Jonah ni ka due han totouh ka lungkhuek telah atipouh.
10 Then said Yhwh, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
Cathut ni hai nang ni patang khai e nahoeh, a roung nahanelah na khetyawt e nahoeh. Rum touh dawk hoi kapâw ni teh rum touh dawk hoi tang kamyai e tuiumkung hah na pasai maw.
11 And should not I spare 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?
Kai ni saringnaw ka dei hoeh, avoi arang boehai ka panuek hoeh rae tami 120,000 hlak kapap e Nineveh khopui e taminaw hah ka pasai mahoeh na maw telah atipouh.
