Jonah 4
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
Sai abin ya ɓata wa Yunana rai ƙwarai har ya yi fushi.
2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray you, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repent you of the evil.
Sai ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, ba irin abin da na faɗa ke nan ba tun ina gida? Wannan ne ya sa na yi ƙoƙarin tserewa zuwa Tarshish. Ai, na sani kai Allah ne mai alheri da tausayi, mai jinkirin fushi da cikakkiyar ƙauna, kai Allah ne mai dakatar da nufinka na yin hukunci.
3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I plead to you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
Yanzu, ya Ubangiji, ka ɗauki raina, domin ya fi sauƙi a gare ni in mutu da in rayu.”
4 Then said the LORD, Do you well to be angry?
Amma Ubangiji ya amsa, ya ce; “Daidai ne ka yi fushi?”
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.
Sai Yunana ya fita daga birnin ya yi wajen gabas, ya zauna. A nan ya yi wa kansa rumfa, ya zauna cikin inuwarta yana jira yă ga abin da zai sami birnin.
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 grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
Sai Ubangiji Allah ya sa wata’yar kuringa ta tsiro, ta yi girma a inda Yunana yake, don ta inuwantar da shi, yă ji daɗi. Yunana kuwa ya yi murna matuƙa da wannan kuringa.
7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it stroke the gourd that it withered.
Amma kashegari da safe sai Allah ya sa tsutsa ta cinye’yar kuringar har ta mutu.
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.
Sa’ad da rana ta yi sama, sai Allah ya sa iskar gabas mai zafi ta huro, zafin ranar kuma ya buga kan Yunana, har ya ji sai ka ce zai suma. Ya so a ce ya mutu ma, sai ya ce, “Gara in mutu da a ce ina zaune da rai.”
9 And God said to Jonah, Do you well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
Amma Allah ya ce wa Yunana, “Daidai ne ka yi fushi saboda wannan kuringa?” Sai Yunana ya ce, “I, daidai ne, ina fushi matuƙa, har ina so da na mutu ma.”
10 Then said the LORD, You have had pity on the gourd, for the which you have not laboured, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Ai, wannan kuringa ta tsira dare ɗaya ta kuma ɓace kafin dare na biyu, ba ka yi wata wahala dominta ba, ba kai ne ka sa ta yi girma ba, duk da haka ranka ya ɓace saboda ita.
11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
Ashe, ba dole ne in ji tausayin babban birnin nan Ninebe mai mutum sama da dubu ɗari da ashirin marasa alhaki, da kuma dabbobi masu yawa ba?”
