Jonah 4
1 And it was vexing unto Jonah, with a great vexation, —and it angered him.
Ngunit naghinanakit si Jonas, at nagalit siya nang labis.
2 So he prayed unto Yahweh, and said—Ah now! Yahweh! Was not, this, my word, while I was yet upon mine own soil? For this cause, did I hasten to flee unto Tarshish, —because I knew that, thou, art a GOD of favour and compassion, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and art grieved over calamity.
Kaya nanalangin si Jonas kay Yahweh at sinabi, “A, Yahweh, hindi ba ito ang sinabi ko nang bumalik ako sa aking sariling bansa? Kaya nga kumilos muna ako at sinubukang tumakas papuntang Tarsis—dahil alam kong ikaw ay mapagbigay na Diyos, mahabagin, mabagal magalit, sagana sa katapatan, at naaawa kang magpadala ng kapahamakan.
3 Now, therefore, O Yahweh, take, I pray thee, my life from me, —for it were better for me, to die, than, to live.
Kaya ngayon, Yahweh, nagmamakaawa ako, kunin mo ang aking buhay, dahil higit na mabuti para akin ang mamatay kaysa sa mabuhay.”
4 Then said Yahweh, Art thou rightly angry?
Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Mabuti bang ikaw ay lubos na magalit?”
5 But Jonah, went forth, out of the city, and abode on the east side of the city; and made for himself there, a hut, and sat under it, in the shade, until he should see what would become of the city.
Pagkatapos lumabas si Jonas mula sa lungsod at umupo sa dakong silangang bahagi ng lungsod. Doon gumawa siya ng silungan at umupo sa ilalim nito sa lilim upang makita niya kung ano ang maaaring mangyari sa lungsod.
6 Now Yahweh God appointed a gourd, and caused it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his vexation, —and Jonah rejoiced over the gourd, with great rejoicing.
Naghanda ang Diyos na si Yahweh ng isang halaman at pinatubo niya ito sa ibabaw ng ulo ni Jonas para maging lilim sa ibabaw ng ulo niya para mapagaan ang kanyang pagkabalisa. Labis na natuwa si Jonas nang dahil sa halaman.
7 But God appointed a worm, at the uprisings of the dawn, the next day, —and it smote the gourd, that it withered.
Ngunit kinabukasan sa pagsikat ng araw naghanda ang Diyos ng isang uod. Sinalakay nito ang halaman at nalanta ang halaman.
8 And it came to pass, at the breaking forth of the sun, that God appointed a sultry east wind, and the sun smote upon the head of Jonah, that he became faint, —and asked his life, that he might die, and said, It were better for me, to die, than, to live.
Nangyari na nang sumikat ang araw ng sumunod na umaga, ang Diyos ay naghanda ng isang mainit na hangin mula sa silangan. At saka, tinamaan ng sinag ng araw ang ulo ni Jonas at naging maputla siya. Pagkatapos hinangad ni Jonas na mamatay siya. Sinabi ni Jonas sa kanyang sarili, “Mas mabuti pang mamatay ako kaysa sa mabuhay.
9 Then said God unto Jonah, Art thou rightly angry over the gourd? And he said, I am rightly angry, unto death.
Pagkatapos sinabi ng Diyos kay Jonas, “Tama bang labis kang magalit dahil sa halaman? At sinabi ni Jonas, “Tama lang na magalit ako, kahit hanggang sa kamatayan.”
10 Then said Yahweh, Thou, wouldest have spared the gourd, for which thou hadst not toiled, neither hadst thou made it grow, —which, as the off-spring of a night, came up, and, as the offspring of a night, perished;
Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Nagkaroon ka ng habag sa halaman, na hindi mo naman pinaghirapan, ni pinatubo ito. Tumubo ito sa isang gabi at namatay sa isang gabi.
11 And was not, I, to spare Nineveh, the great city, —wherein are more than twelve times ten thousand human beings, who cannot discern between their right hand and their left, besides much cattle?
Kaya para sa akin, hindi ba dapat akong mahabag sa Ninive, ang malaking lungsod na iyon, kung saan may mas marami pa sa isandaan at dalawampung libong tao na hindi alam ang kaibahan sa pagitan ng kanilang kanang kamay at kaliwang kamay, at saka maraming rin baka?”
